[사진 출처 = 연합뉴스]On the 29th, 100 days before the presidential election, Lee Jae-myung, the presidential candidate of the Democratic Party, raised the topic of compensation for damages to small business owners and the self-employed. It is a strategy that aims to differentiate itself from the current government by reflecting on the policies that the people have moved away from the Moon Jae-in administration and presenting active solutions, while at the same time emphasizing that it is a realistic ‘problem solver’.
On the same day, at the D-100 National Election Countermeasures Committee held at the Kimdaejung Convention Center in Gwangju, Lee said, “I’m not really worried about a real estate price surge, but a collapse.” “I think there will come a situation where we have to worry about whether a sharp drop will have a shock to the economy as prices are formed in a high state,” he said.
However, he said, “Right now, since house prices continue to rise, we will find out the cause and take measures.” He continued, “We have to control the demand for fear of living with anxiety, and we have to get rid of things like ‘buying a house made money’. said confidently
He added, “We just need to increase financial benefits for real buyers and limit speculative buyers,” he added. Regarding the review paper, Candidate Lee said, “I will have an opportunity to tell you soon. Please wait a little bit.”
Candidate Lee also aimed at the remarks of presidential candidate Yoon Seok-yeol, who said that he would support 50 trillion won in compensation for small business owners and self-employed people who have been damaged by Corona 19 when ‘becoming president’. and made a counter proposal. “Even if he doesn’t become president, people’s livelihood support is necessary right now,” he said. Afterwards, in a separate Q&A, he said, “I said that I should give up the national disaster aid and support the alleys, so I would like to discuss the 50 trillion won project.” . The reverse proposal of ’50 trillion won’ was a surprise remark by Candidate Lee, which was not in the originally distributed manuscript. An official from the Democratic Party said, “It is a counterattack considering the possibility that candidate Yoon calculated the amount in an abstract way, and the lack of policy production and execution ability of candidate Yoon will be highlighted.” In addition, there is an aspect of trying to comfort small business owners who have been forced to make unilateral sacrifices amid strong COVID-19 quarantine measures. Candidate Lee emphasized, “The achievement of K quarantine that the world is proud of is based on the cooperation of the whole people and the sacrifice of small business owners and self-employed people on the front lines.”
In a speech delivered in Yeonggwang, Jeollanam-do, the last destination to visit Honam, candidate Lee mentioned Nak-yeon Lee a total of four times and showed respect, saying, “I will serve you well.” Yeonggwang is the hometown of former President Lee and the constituency that served as the fourth term.
