With United Future Party Accelerating Basic Income... Transition Korea Says "Respond, Democratic Party" Basic Income Party Says "Let's Meet, United Future Party"

[Asia Economy Reporter Jeon Jin-young] As the United Future Party specified basic income as the first item in its party platform, the Basic Income Party and Transition Korea, which have long been discussing the issue, have expressed welcoming messages. They also urged the Democratic Party of Korea and the United Future Party to actively participate in full-scale discussions.

On the morning of the 14th, Jo Jung-hoon, a member of Transition Korea, posted on Facebook under the title "Respond! Democratic Party of Korea," stating, "Regardless of political stance, I welcome the United Future Party's policy will to boldly overcome the pressing challenges."

Jo said, "Now it's the Democratic Party's turn. I expect a wise receive. Having a strong serve does not guarantee winning the game. The key is for the team to cooperate and skillfully pass the ball," emphasizing, "The more fiercely we debate and exchange policy discussions, the more the Korean-style basic income will become a policy for the lives of our people."

He added, "Now it's time for the 'big ship' Democratic Party to respond. Shall we gather wisdom in one place to realize the world's first basic income nation and create policies for the people together? Respond."

Earlier, on the 13th, the Basic Income Party stated, "In South Korea, where the two major parties' system is solid, the fact that the main opposition party promised basic income as the first item in its party platform itself is meaningful," and requested a meeting with Kim Jong-in, the emergency committee chairman of the United Future Party.

Shin Ji-hye, co-representative of the Basic Income Party, released a press statement that day, saying, "Now is the time to discuss 'what kind of basic income' it should be," adding, "However, I have concerns about the 'Korean-style basic income.' I want to meet with Chairman Kim to discuss mid-term basic income introduction plans and propose the immediate introduction of the second disaster relief fund."

Co-representative Shin also said, "Just as we opened discussions on the first disaster relief fund, I request the United Future Party to actively participate in discussions on the introduction of the second disaster relief fund."
