[Asia Economy Reporter Jongil Park] Kim Sooyoung, Mayor of Yangcheon District, announced a proposal for a welfare grand compromise at a National Assembly press conference hall at 2 p.m. on the 28th.

The contents of the proposal announced that day include ▲guaranteeing administrative and financial welfare autonomy rights for basic governments ▲demanding full national funding conversion for nationwide and universal welfare benefits such as basic pensions, child allowances, and disability pensions ▲establishing reasonable standards for the distribution of national and local government funds for national projects.
