[Asia Economy Reporter Lee Ji-eun] The Future United Party expressed skepticism about the government's housing supply expansion plan announced on the 4th, saying, "Local governments' opposition is already serious," and questioned, "Was it hastily pushed through?"

On the 5th, Bae Jun-young, spokesperson for the United Party, said in a statement, "Doubts about feasibility have already begun to arise."

He said, "Above all, the opposition from local governments such as Seoul City is serious. Was this measure also hastily pushed through without prior consultation?" He referred to the rebuttals from Seoul City and Gwacheon City, as well as the remarks by Jeong Cheong-rae, a member of the Democratic Party of Korea, questioning 'Do we have to build rental housing again in Sangam-dong?'"

Spokesperson Bae pointed out, "While the government announced a hasty measure, the ruling party in the National Assembly passed real estate legislation recklessly, omitting procedures such as subcommittee bill review, detailed examination, and pros and cons debate as stipulated in the National Assembly Act," adding, "Every time, they are obsessed only with speed, issuing measures like instant cooking without consideration, and the ruling party pushes through legislative dominance, causing noise everywhere and eroding public trust in policies."

He criticized, "There are even claims that this behavior of the government and ruling party is a form of false hope to drag the real estate issue until next year's local by-elections and a political calculation to raise the issue of supply expansion," and urged, "The government should present deep and straightforward measures after careful consideration. The pain and burden caused by hastiness will be borne entirely by the people."
