Candidate Shim emphasized, “The Justice Party’s role is becoming more urgent to protect the lives of the socially disadvantaged in the face of the reality of growing inequality and solidifying vested interests.
He said, “In this presidential election, I and the Justice Party will seek the people’s confidence again.” He said, “I will not do three things, such as blaming others, increasing approval ratings, and not following the principles.” He said that he would do three things: public debate and restoration of universal common values.
Regarding the failure to unify the presidential candidates between the progressive parties, he said, “I think it is my opinion that we should pursue the best possible way to promote the electoral solidarity among the progressive citizens who have been fighting inequality, the climate crisis and discrimination now.” .

Regarding the promotion of a TV debate in which only candidates from both the Democratic Party of Korea and People’s Power appear, he said, “What is the difference between being kicked out of a test center because of short stature at school. It is a democratic riot that destroys diversity and pluralism about democracy.” It’s about doing the test, not the people taking the test colluding with each other.”
He added, “As a member of the National Assembly, I only served on the Economic Standing Committee. In the past, an economist was my nickname,” he added.
Lastly, Candidate Shim said, “I have cut more hair than I have here (now). This is the first time I have cut my hair. With that in mind, I will put everything down and empty it. Please help me a lot.”
