Jong-in Kim to Propose New Economic Agenda Following 'Economic Democratization'... Press Conference on the 29th
[Asia Economy Reporter Lee Ji-eun] Kim Jong-in, the general election campaign committee chairman of the United Future Party who led former President Park Geun-hye's presidential victory with the theme of 'economic democratization,' will release his first official message on the 29th. Attention is focused on whether he can revive the call for regime judgment, buried by the COVID-19 pandemic, and present a theme that will capture voters' hearts as an economic party.
According to the United Future Party on the 28th, Chairman Kim will hold an emergency economic measures press conference at 2 p.m. on the 29th at the National Assembly main building.
At this event, Chairman Kim is expected to announce economic themes aimed at revitalizing livelihoods that have become difficult due to COVID-19. In the 2012 presidential election, Kim led former President Park's victory as the 'economic democratization teacher,' and in 2016, he also led the economic democratization theme in the Democratic Party's emergency committee, capturing centrist votes.
