Tracking in third place Lee Jun-Seok, in 9 percent of the Conservative New Reforms Party.

What are the main issues?

Yoon’s botched combat bill shaded over the race.

In 2022, Lee lost his last election to Yoon, left for the presidency.

The leader of the opposition was a tool for foiling the President’s plan. On December 3, when Yoon declared the law of the war – “Anti-state” and “Anti-state” and “criminals”, Lee fled to the Milli Majlis and rose to the walls of the building to prevent hundreds of armed troops. He called on his supporters to arrive in parliament and prevent the arrest of lawmakers.

Despite the blockades of the troops, the legislature was able to take this to parliament and put an end to the law. The Assembly continued to make Yoon impeach on December 14.

“This election is not for the declaration of the battle law with Yoon Suk-Yeol and its impact,” he said. “These issues were formed in others such as vortex. Everything else is marginalized.”

In the campaign trail, Lee, anyone involved in Yoon’s failed offer, promised to provide harder control over the ability to announce the law law.

Where the candidates stop attempted by the battle law

Opposition leader Lee also offered constitutional changes to promote a four-year presidency – currently allowed only five years of South Korean presidents. Lee also defended for the run-out system for the presidential election, thus ensuring 50 percent of the candidate, the first two candidates take to each other in the second round.

“The four-year-old presidential, strengthening the responsibility,” he called on the average assessment of the leadership, “he called on the constitutional amendment to ensure change. “In the meantime, the reception of the escape election system will increase the legality of democratic governance and help reduce the unnecessary social conflict.”

The PPP accepted the proposals for the constitutional amendment to allow Lee’s two-term presidential presidential presidential, but offered to shorten each period for three years.

Yoon’s Battle Bill has left PPP in the crisis and warm.

The party was welcomed because he tried to choose the heir of an imitated president. Although the party’s elementary acquisible, the leaders tried to replace him with the former Prime Minister Han Duck-Soo. On the eve of the party’s campaign, who canceled the candidacy, only after the party members to restore it.

Bong, Yonsei University, fire and the units of the activities in the actual camp, the units of Yoon’s decree, he said.

“Kim Moon-Soo did not open the position on the right declaration of the war,” said Bong. “He did not remove himself from Yoon’s heritage, but also did not exhaust that the statement of the declaration of the war law was violated. Thus, he did not give enough energy to mobilize the basics of the support of the PPP.”

Again, the campaign appears to be worn by a 20 percent point of space in the start of the campaign.

However, he was a third-party opponent – Lee Jun-SEOK – failed to return the offer and PPP to improve the offer. The 40-year-old new Reforms Party said that “those responsible for the emergency war law” will be “a candidate” on Tuesday.

What about foreign policy?

Although political debates are back, the result of the election may cause South Korea to North Korea. Two neighbors, the Korean war of the 1950s and 1953 is not a peace agreement, and the gardens between them are in the new low level.

North Korean leader Kim Jong UN, combine the divided nations of the war, and to break the long-term target as the “unchanging principled enemy” and called on the country to rewrite the country’s constitution for Seoul. Pyongyang also cut communication lines, and two countries collided with balls and drones carrying garbage and propaganda.

The Democratic Party promised to reduce tensions by restoring Lee, selected, including a military hotline, and committed to maintain the purpose of eliminating nuclear weapons from the Korean Peninsula.

At the same time, Ballistic missiles and US supported the harsh line of Yoon, promising to “pre-refuse” through tools such as tactical nuclear weapons. He also said that the country will be a repeated step towards the establishment of nuclear fuel, nuclear weapons and a way to provide a nuclear weapon.

The two candidates are also different in the United States, the most important security of the country, the largest trading partner and approach to China.

Saying that they call a pragmatic foreign policy, Lee said that South Korea is very important to protect the union with the United States and hold security cooperation with Japan. However, he said, “National Interests” priority or “unnecessarily need to accept China or Russia.”

Meanwhile, Kim questioned Lee’s commitment to the US-South Korean alliance and promised to hold the immediate summit with the US President Donald Trump, who was elected to discuss tariffs.

“I have a very kind and reliable relationship to me,” he said. Who is the US head.

He also stated that the placement of US troops in the country is ready to exchange more information about the price of the placement, and Trump is required for years.

Lee Sung-Yoon, a member of the Board of Human Rights Committee in North Korea, described the differences between the opponent’s camps and explained their comments because the Democratic Party was soft in China and Russia before Lee.

“In the past, South Korea did not interfere in China’s position in Taiwan and the conflict informs the ‘defense disaster’ and ‘president’ and ‘extremely Japanese presidency’.”

Analyst Lee, in connection with the course of the election campaign – more moderate voters tried to return some statements of an offer to apply.

However, I would like to estimate that people sitting in Washington, DC, DC or Tokyo or Kiev, Ukraine’s strength councils and the prospects of Lee’s leadership, “he said.
