6.1 Local Election The official election campaign started today (19th).
By-elections for the National Assembly are also held in seven places, and the election board has grown as candidates Lee Jae-myung and Ahn Cheol-soo are scrambled.
On the first day of the official election campaign, the leadership of the opposition and opposition parties mobilized in large numbers to set their resolutions for victory, after all, in Incheon.
Democratic Party of Korea
The Democratic Party election leader held a campaign ceremony early in the morning in Incheon, and the venue was the square in front of Gyeyang Station.
It belongs to the Gyeyang-eul constituency where Candidate Jae-myung Lee is running.
The leadership was mobilized, including Candidate Jae-myung Lee, who was the general election chairman of the local election, and the two top party contingencies Chairman Yun Ho-jung and Park Ji-hyun, floor representative Park Hong-geun, Incheon Mayor Park Nam-chun, Rep. Dong-su Yoo (Incheon Gye Yang-gap), and Rep. ) and many others.
From the standpoint of Candidate Jae-myung Lee and the Democratic Party of Korea, Incheon must be desperate for victory in the mayoral election as well as Gyeyang-eul.

Candidate Jae-myung Lee appealed in his campaign speech, saying, "If you win in Incheon, you win in the metropolitan area, and if you win in the metropolitan area, you can win in Gangwon and Chungcheong. Incheon is the first departure point. Please join us so that we can win in Incheon."
Chairman Yun Ho-jung said, "Why did we come to Incheon? This is because it is the number one political spot for this local election and the nucleus of a typhoon. Candidate Jae-Myeong Lee will make Gyeyang-gu a better place to live and work than Pangyo in Seongnam," said Chairman Park Ji-hyun. “Finally, today’s prelude to the local election, which will curse the defeat in the presidential election, prevent the dictatorship of the prosecution, and select competent workers, has come,” he added.
Candidate Nam-chun Park criticized the administration of Yoon Seok-yeol and appealed for the Democratic Party's support, criticizing the administration of Yoon Seok-yeol, saying, "The aspirations of Incheon citizens have been completely ignored in the national affairs of the Yoon Seok-yeol government.
People's Power "Second Incheon Landing Operation"
The People's Power held the first on-site meeting of the National Election Countermeasures Committee at the Incheon Mayor's Election Camp, Yoo Jeong-bok, and kicked off the election campaign.
Representative Lee Jun-seok, the permanent election chairman, Kwon Seong-dong, floor leader Kim Ki-hyun, co-election chairperson, Kim Ki-hyun, Bae Hyun-jin, Jeong Mi-kyung, Kim Yong-tae, the supreme members of the supreme council, and Incheon regional lawmakers and party co-chairs were all in attendance. Candidate Hyung-sun Yoon was also present.
It shows his will to focus all his energy on the Seoul metropolitan area, where he is winning, and it also means that he is aiming for Lee Jae-myung, who is running the Democratic Party's election campaign as he runs for the National Assembly by-election in Gyeyang, Incheon.

Candidate Jeong-bok Yoo said, "Today is the start of the 2nd Incheon Landing Operation. 13 days from today, the 2nd Incheon Landing Operation will write a new history that will open up the future of the Republic of Korea. Present (Democratic Party) I will recover the four years lost through the market's ignorance, miscommunication, and lies, and create a new top-class city, Incheon."
The party leadership and Candidate Yoo also promised to fulfill regional promises, such as undergrounding the Gyeongin Railway and Gyeongin Expressway, early promotion of KTX, GTX-B, GTX-D, and GTX-E from Incheon, transfer of ownership of Incheon Inner Port, and designation and revitalization of a free economic zone. .
The party leadership then went on a street campaign, and CEO Lee Jun-seok revealed his aspirations, saying, "I'm trying to open a door in Incheon to succeed in the metropolitan area."
In a meeting with reporters, he said, "In the metropolitan area, Incheon is the place with the highest demand for policy. I greeted the citizens of Incheon with a big promise that only the ruling party can make. Because the people's power has become the ruling party, the will to realize the president's promise is expressed. We have to show it,” he said, targeting the Incheon vote.
Why is Lee Jae-myung in Incheon? Yay, another workshop
Since Candidate Jae-myung Lee decided to run for Gyeyang, Incheon, there has been a battle between the opposition and opposition parties.
This workshop continued today, when the official election campaign began.
Representative Lee Jun-seok, who visited Incheon, said, "People who came to Incheon to hide their mistakes are subject to reporting, not voting. If you see such a wrong person or a criminal suspect, please report it." Lee Jae-myung, floor leader Kwon Seong-dong, said again, "Is Incheon a refuge? Why do you come to Incheon from Seongnam or Gyeonggi-do? Incheon should not be viewed lightly and should be condemned. I started beating.

In the face of criticism of the people's power, Candidate Jae-myung Lee has said that he is running for the party as an 'electoral heir' for the party, not for personal safety.
As for the reason for choosing Incheon, he said, "If I only went to the National Assembly elections, I would have considered the region, but to support the entire local election, I decided to hold the constituency election as a means of that."

◇ Moderator: I have a question that follows Lee Jae-myung.
In other words, why did you choose Incheon and not Gyeonggi-do, your hometown?
◆ Jae-myung Lee: If I only went to the National Assembly elections, I would have considered the region.
But to support the entire local election, I decided to hold the constituency election as a means of that.
And if I do not attend in person and only indirectly support from the perspective of a third party, the strength of the gathering will decrease, I guess.
In a way, I have to play three roles.
You have to direct, execute, and plan the general national election.
In addition, if you are playing the three roles of one person who has to realistically support campaigning and also have to manage the constituency because you participated in the constituency directly, isn't the Incheon election really the most important?
in the metropolitan area.
Gyeonggi-do is said to be a little better, but Incheon is not enough and the winner is Incheon.
However, it seems that the attack on the people's power to run for bulletproof will continue throughout the election period.
Candidate Hyung-sun Yoon, the People's Power of Gyeyang-eul, who faced Candidate Jae-myung Lee, also said today, "This election is an election of 'fairness and common sense' versus 'a criminal suspect who escaped', of the election", because the logic of attacking the people's power is being used as an election strategy.

6.1 What is Election for Lee Jae-myung and Ahn Cheol-soo?
In addition to candidate Lee Jae-myung, former president Ahn Cheol-soo is running as a sign of the people's strength in the Seongnam Bundangap by-election.
There is an atmosphere of overtime in the presidential election as the two candidates who ran in the last presidential election are scrambled at the same time.

Although both candidates ran for positions with stable support, the results of local elections other than their own by-elections will also be important for future political moves, especially since Candidate Jae-myung Lee is also serving as the head of the election.
This candidate is desperately in need of victory not only for Incheon mayor but also for Gyeonggi governor, where he served as governor.
If we win, our political position will be solid, but conversely, we may suffer fatal political wounds.
Candidate Ahn Cheol-soo does not have as much pressure as Candidate Jae-myung Lee, but if he does not lead to victory as Governor of Gyeonggi-do, it will be difficult to secure support in the race for power of the people.
Stability vs Checks
Let's focus on local elections.
This election will be held approximately three months after the 20th presidential election and 22 days after the inauguration of the Yun Seok-Yeol government.
In terms of timing, it will be a major watershed that will determine how the political situation in the early stages of the new government will flow.
The People's Power advocates 'the theory of national stability' and appeals to the new government to add strength to the operation of the new government, while the Democratic Party has brought up the 'theory to check the Yun Seok-yeol government' and set up a confrontational angle, hoping to humiliate the defeat of the last presidential election.

The battlefields are the metropolitan area and Chungcheong.
I already explained Incheon, and there was a big match between the ruling and opposition parties such as Oh Se-hoon and Song Young-gil for the mayor of Seoul, and Kim Eun-hye and Kim Dong-yeon for the Gyeonggi governor.
The voters of the Chungcheong region, who have played the role of traditional casting boats, are also of interest. The Democratic Party, which swept the midfield in the last local election, is concentrating on protecting it, and the power of the people is expecting the wind of President Yoon, who calls himself the 'son of Chungcheong'.
Whether it is the Democratic Party's dominance or the recapture of the people's power over the midfield vote will also be a very interesting point to watch.
