[Asia Economy Reporter Lee Ji-eun] The United Future Party criticized the government's response of canceling discount coupons to promote consumption, saying it is an "amateur government's farce" while emphasizing the need to tighten quarantine measures.

On the 16th, Bae Jun-young, spokesperson for the United Future Party, said in a statement, "The government should alleviate public anxiety with more sophisticated and meticulous measures, keeping in mind that 'national quarantine is the best welfare.'

He added, "The government's decision to raise social distancing to level 2 in Seoul and Gyeonggi Province was a very timely measure," but criticized, "The farce of starting to distribute discount coupons to stimulate domestic demand and then canceling them after just three days revealed the 'amateur' face of the government."

Spokesperson Bae said, "With the upcoming holiday lasting until tomorrow, indoor and outdoor congestion is expected, causing considerable concern about infection risk and spread," and urged, "As we have done so far, I ask all citizens to thoroughly comply with and practice individual quarantine rules." He continued, "The United Future Party will also roll up its sleeves and cooperate on issues directly related to the lives and safety of the people."
