[Asia Economy Reporter Lim Chun-han] On the 28th, the People’s Party announced, “The registration for candidates in the 21st general election has closed,” adding, “The People’s Party will act as a catfish to check entrenched politics, keeping the entire political sphere alert, and strive to ensure that the benefits fully return to the people.”

Kim Ye-rim, deputy spokesperson of the People’s Party, stated in a commentary on the same day, “Entrenched parties should end the disgraceful satellite party formations and illegal dispatch competitions of lawmakers, and start competing with policies and alternatives to revive the livelihoods suffering from the novel coronavirus infection (COVID-19).”

Deputy spokesperson Kim said, “First, we repeatedly propose measures for the most urgent issue, the COVID-19 crisis affecting ordinary citizens and self-employed workers, and urge the government to make decisive actions,” adding, “We will ease the worries of the 27.5 million ordinary citizens pushed to the limit by providing disaster relief payments of 1 million won, and by offering tangible solutions such as reducing or cutting health insurance premiums, electricity, and water bills for struggling households, small business owners, and self-employed individuals.”

Deputy spokesperson Kim also said, “Instead of the conventional political approach of treating symptoms after the fact, we will pursue advanced politics focused on prevention with a spirit of moderation and practicality,” emphasizing, “The People’s Party is not a party above the people, but a party beside the people.”
