[Asia Economy Reporter Lim Chun-han] On the 24th, the United Future Party urged the government and ruling party to promptly make decisions regarding the 4th supplementary budget and disaster relief funds.

Kim Eun-hye, spokesperson for the United Future Party, stated at a briefing at the National Assembly Communication Office, "Above all, self-employed individuals and small business owners are facing the risk of closure. Although the United Future Party requested the formulation of the 4th supplementary budget, I am curious why the government has not made a decision," adding, "They were so generous before the general election, so why are they so stingy after the election?"

The party also demanded the passage of the COVID-19 Crisis Escape Livelihood Support Package Act, which was proposed as the party's top priority bill. Spokesperson Kim said, "I hope this bill passes the National Assembly immediately so that the ruling and opposition parties can come together sooner," and added, "I hope the Democratic Party responds positively."

Regarding the new party name, Spokesperson Kim said, "As many as 17,000 people participated in the party name contest. The top keyword suggested was 'Gukmin' (People), followed by 'Jayu' (Freedom), 'Hanguk' (Korea), and 'Mirae' (Future)," and added, "We plan to go through confirmation procedures such as a members' general meeting and aim to announce the new party name next week."
