[Asia Economy Reporter Lim Chun-han] The Justice Party stated on the 10th regarding President Moon Jae-in's special speech on the 3rd anniversary of his inauguration, "As President Moon pointed out, the novel coronavirus infection (COVID-19) is not over, and quarantine measures do not solve issues related to livelihood," adding, "In that regard, we welcome the commitment to fully strengthen the public health care system and infectious disease response capabilities."

Justice Party spokesperson Oh Hyun-joo said in a commentary on the same day, "We also actively welcome President Moon's expressed determination to introduce a nationwide employment insurance system and promptly implement the national employment support system based on the Korean New Deal."

Spokesperson Oh stated, "The problem lies in the details. While claiming to strengthen the public health care system, the focus is not on expanding and supporting public medical institutions but rather on introducing a telemedicine system to promote medical privatization, which is a representative example," and added, "Meanwhile, it is regrettable that the Korean New Deal, which has become the biggest topic in overcoming the economic crisis, remains at the level of merely increasing digital jobs."

Spokesperson Oh said, "The Justice Party will actively cooperate in introducing systems such as nationwide employment insurance but will not hesitate to criticize to ensure that the government's administration in the post-COVID era finds the right direction," and "We urge that the remaining two years of President Moon's term focus on expanding publicness and the Green New Deal."
