[Asia Economy Reporter Lee Ji-eun] The United Future Party raised its voice, criticizing the discord among the party, government, and Blue House over the Greenbelt release, saying, "Now the president must answer."


On the 20th, Bae Jun-young, spokesperson for the United Future Party, said in a statement, "Following the Prime Minister and ministers, even the Minister of Justice has joined the Greenbelt controversy."


He pointed out, "The ruling party and government must remember that a single irresponsible word they utter causes the real estate market to shake and leads to a surge in innocent victims among the public. Now is the time for someone to sort out the situation. Shouldn't the president step forward?"


Spokesperson Bae explained, "The Greenbelt is a legally designated area to prevent disorderly urban expansion and to preserve the surrounding green environment. Although past governments have released Greenbelt areas for housing supply purposes, it was insufficient to control apartment prices."


He expressed concern, saying, "Experts also warn that this time, too, the supply will be a one-time event, ultimately enriching speculative forces and fueling house price increases around development sites. As expected, the prices of Greenbelt lands mentioned as candidates for release are already fluctuating."



Spokesperson Bae criticized, "Above all, the Greenbelt is the last stronghold for our future generations. Is the government, which once advocated the 'Green New Deal,' now considering releasing the Greenbelt because all its real estate policies have failed? This is self-contradictory and nonsensical."
