Jung Cheong-rae, head of the Democratic Party's Central Election Committee, criticized the People Power Party for its negative campaigning tactics, stating, "It seems they are trying to fill their election campaign with negativity after engaging in the 'Yoon Again' nominations."
Speaking at a Central Election Countermeasure Committee meeting in Jeju on May 15, Jung remarked, "The public wants to feel political efficacy through future visions and livelihood pledges, but the People Power Party seems unaware of this." He added, "It is frustrating, but we have nothing to lose."
In response to views suggesting that People Power Party leader Jang Dong-hyuk appears to be a strategic asset for the Democratic Party, Jung expressed a desire for the People Power Party to normalize, stating, "The stronger the People Power Party becomes, the more the Democratic Party will feel the need to strengthen itself."
Jung also characterized the People Power Party's campaign as a "five-no campaign," lacking in policy, vision, personnel, communication, and conscience. He criticized, "I expect terms like 'burden on the people' and 'enemy of the people' to emerge from within the People Power Party itself." He further stated, "The public perceives the People Power Party as engaging in nominations that support insurrection, endorsing martial law, obstructing people's livelihoods, abolishing constitutional amendments, launching negative offensives, and ignoring the public."
Additionally, he remarked, "Even if they claim to cancel charges against insurrectionists, the public will think, 'It seems many fabricated charges were made during the Yoon Suk-yeol administration's prosecutorial dictatorship.' How many fabricated charges must they have issued to want to hide that?"
