Jung Chung-rae of the Democratic Party of Korea said on the 14th, "If we enact the Ulleung Special Self-Governing County Act, we can include all the residents' civil complaints in it."
After visiting shops and greeting residents in front of a restaurant in Ulleung County, North Gyeongsang, that afternoon, Jung told reporters, "There are many civil complaints on Ulleungdo, which made me think we have not been protecting Ulleungdo well," adding the above.
Democratic Party Ulleung County chief candidate Jeong Seong-hwan and Ulleung County council candidate Hong Young-pyo accompanied the schedule.
Jung said, "The Democratic Party's candidate Jeong Seong-hwan has a higher chance of winning than ever. That is why I came to lend support," adding, "We will also ask the government for what is needed to ensure a comfortable life on Ulleungdo."
In response to a reporter's question that "recent polls show the gap between the ruling and opposition parties narrowing, leading to an analysis of conservative consolidation," Jung said, "It is hard to feel conservative consolidation on the ground. In our internal polling, there are cases where that is not so," adding, "Even so, regardless of that, we will do everything we should and do our best."
