At the event, Jang praised Lee, saying, "She is someone who has fought to uphold her values and has never backed down in the face of oppression or intimidation."
He criticized Lee Jae-myung, saying, "He is rushing to cancel charges against himself. Even though he has been president for less than a year, he is disregarding the public by trying to erase all his crimes."
Jang also expressed concerns about potential tax increases after the local elections, stating, "After the local elections, a tax bomb will explode. They are planning to take all the committee chair positions during the formation of the National Assembly. We must stop this."
He emphasized the importance of Dalseong, calling it "a place that has upheld conservatism and the pride of conservatives," and expressed confidence that the patriotism of Dalseong will protect both South Korea and conservatism. He added, "We need someone who has fought properly until now to come to the National Assembly and fight alongside us. I want to see Lee elected with an overwhelming majority of over 90%."
Lee Jin-sook also spoke at the event, declaring, "This election is not just about electing mayors, county heads, or members of the National Assembly. It is about protecting South Korea from unchecked dictatorial power." She criticized the Lee Jae-myung administration, stating, "They are attempting to transform the South Korean system using their majority in the National Assembly. We are living in an era where the abnormal has become the new normal. If Dalseong falls to the left, can we still call South Korea a free democratic country? If the Democratic Party's leftists take over Daegu, there will be no future for South Korea."
The opening ceremony was attended by several local political figures, including Chu Kyung-ho, the candidate for Daegu mayor, and Lee Cheol-woo, the candidate for Gyeongbuk governor, along with other local lawmakers such as Lee In-sun, Kwon Young-jin, and Choi Eun-seok.
