News summary on the way home from work, Subsletter Evening.
Gyeonggi-do is rapidly emerging as the biggest battleground for local elections in June.
Only today (31st) in the opposition parties Ahn Min-seok, Kim Dong-yeon, and Yoo Seung-min cast their votes for the Gyeonggi governor position, but all of them are not competitive.
It looks like each party's rivalry is coming to an end.
Now, you can say that the real race for local elections has begun.
Ahn Min-seok throws out his vote saying "Lee Jae-myung should run for party leader"
As scheduled, Democratic Party lawmaker Min-seok Ahn announced his candidacy for governor of Gyeonggi-do.
He was a senior in Osan, Gyeonggi Province, who served five terms (17-21 generations), served as the chairman of the National Assembly Culture, Sports and Tourism Committee, and the 20th Presidential Election Committee Special Director.
Assemblyman Ahn said, "I dare say that if the Democratic Party loses again in the Gyeonggi election, the Yoon Seok-yeol administration will immediately start a planned investigation and political retaliation against Moon Jae-in and Lee Jae-myung. The opponent is none other than President Yoon Seok-yeol. I will face the Yun Seok-yeol regime with the determination of General Yi Sun-sin."
We must stop their runaway from running towards the Prosecutor's Republic.
What will happen if the Democratic Party loses again in the Gyeonggi election?
I dare say that the Yun Seok-yeol administration will immediately start a planned investigation and political retaliation against Moon Jae-in and Lee Jae-myung.
Isn't what you feared already happening in reality? You're going to drive out the Prosecutor General, who has more than a year left in office.
They are threatening to not properly investigate Daejang-dong.
Isn't it an outright threat that the Moon Jae-in government will somehow be caught and investigated?
Awake Gyeonggi-do, fellow Democrats who are just, who can fight against the Prosecutor's Republic?
The answer is clear.
Anyone who has ever fought can fight.
Who was the person who fought wholeheartedly with the Democratic Party against the Park Geun-hye administration's national nongdan?
In moments of crisis, you need a fighter.
Min-seok Ahn will respond to the people's orders and calls of the times to stop their runaways, risking my everything.
Now, it's time to write the prepared Ahn Min-seok.
Rep. Ahn is classified as a 'pro-Lee Jae-myung-gye', and he also devoted a lot of time to the so-called 'Lee Jae-myung marketing', which puts out standing advisor Lee Jae-myung.
At the National Convention in August, Lee Jae-myung, the standing adviser, insisted that he run for the party's representative, and also disclosed a policy pledge called 'Lee Jae-myung Plus 5 Project'.
Inheriting the policy promises of the standing advisor, Jae-myung Lee, he promised to establish and connect 10 metropolitan areas for coexistence, establish a semiconductor university and lead the AI high-tech industry, invest 10% of the budget in education, and establish venture start-up centers in their 50s and 20s in 10 bases. I did.
Rep. Ahn attended the party member's condolences, which was the only outside action taken by former governor Lee after the election on the 16th, and the next day, he posted a message on Facebook promising "I will protect Lee Jae-myung, protect Gyeonggi-do, and protect Korea."
In a media interview, he introduces himself as 'Lee Jae-myung's friend of 15 years'.
Ahn is the third member of the Democratic Party to announce his candidacy for Gyeonggi Governor, following former Suwon Mayor Yeom Tae-young and lawmaker Jo Jung-shik.
At the same time, Kim Dong-yeon also joined
At the time when Rep. Ahn Min-seok announced his candidacy at the Gyeonggi Provincial Assembly, New Wave representative Kim Dong-yeon officially announced his candidacy for Gyeonggi Governor at the National Assembly Communication Hall. He mentioned his relationship with Gyeonggi-do and expressed his ambition to start a change in Korea first in a small Korean game.
He also said, "I have experience in managing the state administration responsible for the economy and national maintenance of the Republic of Korea, and I have the political capabilities that made political change and national unity the core agenda in the last presidential election." He also emphasized that if elected, it will be meaningful in preventing the self-righteousness of the Yoon Seok-yeol administration, which will be inaugurated soon, fulfilling the promises made with former presidential candidate Lee Jae-myung, and securing the driving force for political change.
In this local election, Gyeonggi-do is the most important region for 'pan-political change forces'.
If I win this election, it means three important things.
First, it serves as a check so that the newly launched Yoon Seok-yeol government does not fall into self-righteousness.
Second, in Gyeonggi-do with Jae-myung Lee, Dong-yeon Kim keeps her promise.
Third, it is possible to obtain the driving force for the practice of political change.
Kim served as the first deputy prime minister of the Moon Jae-in government, and announced his candidacy in August of last year, but then resigned and declared his support for former candidate Lee Jae-myung.
Kim is expected to participate in the Democratic Party primary because the new wave he is representing is now discussing joining the Democratic Party.
Following the National Assembly, CEO Kim held a press conference for his candidacy in Dandae-dong, Seongnam-si. Dandae-dong is said to be where the tent house where he lived as a child was forcibly relocated as the shack in Cheonggyecheon, Seoul was forcibly demolished.
Declaring my candidacy here and meeting with reporters was to emphasize the fact that CEO Kim, who was from a shack, came from a 'soil spoon' who entered public office by attending high school and night college, and to emphasize his relationship with Gyeonggi-do.
In particular, this can be seen as an intention to emphasize the fact that he has the same image as standing advisor Lee Jae-myung. Lee Jae-myung also came from a soil spoon, worked as a boy labor in Seongnam, went to college with the GED and passed the bar exam, and then He ran for president after running for governor of Gyeonggi-do.
In an interview in Dandae-dong, Seongnam, CEO Kim said, "This is where I lived 50 years ago. I went to middle school and high school here when I was 14, and it is meaningful because it is a place where I lived with my mother, grandmother and three younger brothers for 10 years until the beginning of my working life. It's a new feeling," he said.
"I am Lee Jae-myung's successor"... Jae Myung Lee Marketing
As Rep. Ahn Min-seok and CEO Kim Dong-yeon declared their candidacy, the competition for the Gyeonggi governor candidate within the Democratic Party became a four-four battle, and all four are concentrating on the so-called 'Lee Jae-myung marketing'.
Although Lee Jae-myung, the permanent advisor, has refrained from taking political action after the election, but since the influence of Lee Jae-myung, who served as the mayor of Seongnam and Gyeonggi-do, is strong, it can be seen as a courtship competition to get a halo in the 'Lee Jae-myung Home Ground'.
In the case of former Suwon Mayor Yeom Tae-young, who was the first to declare the candidacy, although he is considered a pro-no-no, he was not originally a 'pro-Lee Jae-myung-gye', but recently he has been emphasizing his relationship with the former governor.
"When I was elected together in the 2010 local election and served as Seongnam mayor for 8 years and Gyeonggi governor for 4 years, I served as Suwon mayor for 12 years." I will continue on the path of 'Lee Jae-myung,' he said.
Mayor Yeom once again talked about this on KBS Radio's 'Choi Kyung-young's Strongest Current Affairs' today (31st), but I'll move on to some.
I think this is because the path that Jae-Myeong Lee has followed is the path to real politics, first of all, for people's livelihood.
That is what it means to carry on the spirit of life politics.
As a policy I want to continue, I can choose a policy that puts the most importance on people's livelihood.
It is now implemented with a proper compensation for losses, and it is very important to expand the local currency in order to stimulate the economy.
This can be said to be the most representative policy project of Candidate Jae-Myung Lee, and I think it is necessary to expand these things and do them more boldly.
Rep. Jo Jung-sik, the second Democratic Party member to announce his candidacy for Gyeonggi governor, is Lee Jae-myung-gye, who also introduces himself as a 'pro-Lee Jae-myung-gye chairman.
When Standing Advisor Lee Jae-myung ran for the Gyeonggi governor election, he commanded the campaign countermeasures headquarters, and before the 20th presidential election, he joined the Lee Jae-myung camp early and took on the role of general manager, leading to victory in the primary.
Rep. Cho announced his candidacy for Gyeonggi Governor on the 28th and presented a blueprint saying, "I will make Gyeonggi Province the 'No.
At the press conference for the declaration of candidacy for Assemblyman Cho, about 20 members of the 'pro-Lee Jae-myung-gye' such as Jeong Seong-ho and Kim Byung-wook attended the press conference.
I'll post a little bit more of the candidacy.
"I will protect the hopes of the Republic of Korea against the runaway Yoon Seok-yeol government that ignores the people. I will definitely achieve the defense of the Democratic Party and Gyeonggi Governor Lee Jae-myung.
" I will cover the mouth and ears of the people and hide the truth. I am the right person to stop the poisoning."
I looked at Ahn Min-seok and Kim Dong-yeon's 'Lee Jae-myung Marketing' earlier, and it is noteworthy that Lee Jae-myung-gye's Jeong Seong-ho and Kim Byeong-wook, who attended the press conference for Jo Jung-sik candidacy, also attended the Kim Dong-yeon representative press conference today (31st).
Yoo Seung-min, “Politics of Reform Conservatives”
In the afternoon, former lawmaker Yoo Seung-min, who was the leader of the people's power, challenged the position of Gyeonggi governor.
In terms of the power of the people, candidates for other mayoral and provincial governors are competing competitively, but the candidates for Gyeonggi governor were relatively quiet.
In the last presidential election, candidate Lee Jae-myung outranked Yoon Seok-yeol by 470,000 votes (5.3%p), so it is a so-called 'rough terrain' where unfavorable conditions were formed from the point of view of the people. The legislator made up his mind and cast his vote.
Former Rep. Yoo said, "I will make reform-conservative politics that dream of a warm community and a just world blossom in Gyeonggi-do. After saying, "Gyeonggi-do has a population of 14 million, it is the center of the economy and industry of the Republic of Korea and a bastion of national security. “He has expressed his aspirations.
Please see part of the candidacy declaration.
Gyeonggi-do, with a population of 14 million, is the center of the Korean economy and industry, and is a bastion of national security.
I will devote my life to the development of Gyeonggi-do, having spent my whole life thinking about the economy and security and finding a solution.
We promise to carry out groundbreaking reforms in these five areas: jobs, housing, transportation, welfare and childcare.
With Yoo Seung-min's economic reform, we will create a happy Gyeonggi-do where all citizens of Gyeonggi-do have equal freedom and fair opportunities, and everyone enjoys human dignity.
Gyeonggi-do will do everything it can to develop Gyeonggi-do's industry and science and technology, loosen regulations, and nurture talent as a world-class base for the 4th industrial revolution that surpasses Silicon Valley in the United States.
Gyeonggi-do where there are good jobs and strong welfare, Gyeonggi-do where the dream of owning a home comes true, Gyeonggi-do without worrying about commuting and transportation, and Gyeonggi-do where life, safety and the environment are respected.
We will blossom in Gyeonggi-do through reform and conservative politics that dream of a warm community and a just world.
Let's hope that all residents will regain their hope of life in the warm and just Gyeonggi community.
We will do politics of integration.
'Yoo Seung-min is running for office' and the stakes have grown
Former lawmaker Yoo Seung-min is the third person in the People's Power to announce his intention to run for Gyeonggi governor after former lawmakers Ham Jin-gyu and Shim Jae-cheol. That's it.
As the people's strength, it would be urgent to 'retake Gyeonggi-do' along with 'Seoul City's Suseong' in this local election. In particular, if a governor of Gyeonggi-do, which has a larger population than Seoul, is produced, it symbolically shows the change in the regional power landscape.
Contrary to this importance, there have been no big-name candidates, so rumors have not ceased.
Against the Democratic candidates for Gyeonggi governor who claim to be the successor of Lee Jae-myung, the people's power has put forward a 'middle' color candidate of the 'big-class'.
a piece of the day
The Constitutional Court has made this judgment, saying, 'The current law that punishes non-medical people for tattooing does not go against the Constitution.'
