In a post on Facebook, Jang stated, "This election is about protecting the freedom and democratic order of South Korea."
He expressed concern that President Lee would seek to erase his trial through a special investigation and amend the constitution to pave the way for long-term rule. Jang warned that after the local elections, policies such as raising property taxes and eliminating special deductions for long-term holdings could lead to a housing crisis where citizens are forced out of their homes.
Jang also criticized potential tax increases on sugar, tobacco, and alcohol, asserting that the People Power Party would protect citizens from what he termed Lee's plundering of the public's resources and property.
He emphasized that this election is also about ensuring national security, claiming that Lee is inciting the public under the guise of "self-reliance" and "sovereignty," with the ultimate goal of withdrawing U.S. troops from South Korea and dismantling the U.S.-South Korea alliance.
Jang pointed out that while remaining silent on drone attacks from Iran, an ally of North Korea, Lee has directed fake news and criticism towards Israel, a U.S. ally. He affirmed that the People Power Party would work alongside the public to ensure the survival of South Korea.
"This is a challenging election. However, more citizens are awakening," Jang remarked. He noted that the reality of Lee and the Democratic Party's threats to citizens' freedoms, livelihoods, and national security is becoming clearer. He encouraged supporters to run tirelessly and speak out, believing that more citizens would recognize the truth and support the People Power Party.
He concluded, "We will win if we run together. June 3 will be the day we rebuild South Korea."
