In the presidential elections South KoreaThe liberal candidate of the Democratic Party, Lee Jay MongThe winner would be, according to a survey after the elections. According to initial expectations, she got 51.7 % of the votes, followed by the Conservative Party candidate, by about 39 %. More than 78 %, a class The election has arrived Top level since 1997.
If this result is confirmed after the sound audit was completed, I would have had a clear victory. In South Korea, a simple majority to be sufficient president. I defend a path The approach of China and North Korea neighboring it. He wants to expand Renewable energies And reinforcement Work rights. The previous human rights book, 60, is the leader of the liberal party center Democratic Party.
A turbulent electoral campaign
The electoral season began in early December, when former President Yun Suk Yol declared military law unexpectedly, in light of an excuse without evidence that the opposition would have infiltrated by the Communist and Control Forces. Although Parliament was declared as unimaly of martial rulings by Parliament within a few hours, they continued Months of chaos The country fell into the energy vacuum. It was not until the beginning of April when Yoon, 64, finally The Constitutional Court rejected. Life prison is facing upper betrayal.
for me Little Margin defeated him in the last elections, three years ago. A The polarization numberHe faces many criminal operations of corruption and violation of electoral law, among other things. As a president, however, he will enjoy immunity. In the period before the elections, some considered it the least bad for the candidates.
The weight of the former president’s legacy
His opponent Kim.73, from the ruling party of the Popular Authority (PPP). As a student, sympathy for communism and a guide for workers’ rights, and even was imprisoned for a while.
However, after the collapse of many communist countries in the 1980s and 1990s, he says that his vision of the world has changed. Kim is now considered a ArchiconservadorAsk her solid hand against North Korea and supports the situation of American tactical nuclear weapons on the South Korean soil. However, the legacy of former President Yoon, who belongs to the same party, may have weighted too much.
The predominance of economic issues
However, economic issues also occupied a sufficient place for many Koreans: Prices High, a few situations jobOnly Housing Reasonable prices in urban centers. Young people in particular have a problem to find work or room, and many of them have to live at home for a longer period, which in turn means a burden on many parents. It is not a coincidence that economic issues lead electoral programs.
In South Korea, the president is chosen for five years. He has a relatively large authority: he is the prime minister, the commander of the armed forces and can use presidential decrees to determine the application of concrete laws. Therefore, the decision in favor of me will have a major impact on Relations From East Asia’s country with Chinaand USA Y Europe.
