[Asia Economy Reporter Lim Chun-han] Joo Ho-young, floor leader of the People Power Party, on the 6th praised Lee Jae-myung, Governor of Gyeonggi Province, saying, “Since his time as mayor of Seongnam, he has presented pioneering policy ideas and meaningful agendas to our society,” and added, “He has greatly influenced not only the change and development of Gyeonggi Province but also the change and development of our society.”

At the Gyeonggi Province budget policy meeting held at the National Assembly that day, Floor Leader Joo said, “The People Power Party is also deeply interested in and studying the introduction of basic housing and basic income land tax being promoted by Gyeonggi Province.”

Floor Leader Joo emphasized, “Ahead of next year’s budget formulation, we held policy meetings with metropolitan governments to hear opinions on major issues and budget increases in the National Assembly. I hope this small effort will help the Gyeonggi provincial government.”

Lee Jong-bae, chairman of the People Power Party Policy Committee, stated, “Gyeonggi Province’s population accounts for one-quarter of South Korea. It is no exaggeration to say that Gyeonggi’s issues are national issues,” and added, “When Governor Lee took office, the biggest public concern was traffic problems. We will actively work to improve transportation convenience for Gyeonggi residents.”

Governor Lee said, “Regional development and national development are values that everyone should pursue regardless of political affiliation. However, I believe methods and processes can differ. Differences do not mean wrong, and all policies should be respected if they aim to achieve rational policy goals,” and added, “Ultimately, the goals of the People Power Party and Gyeonggi Province policies are not much different. I ask for much support from the People Power Party for Gyeonggi Province’s administration.”

Governor Lee requested, “I also ask the People Power Party to take interest in securing SOC budgets and other budgets for Gyeonggi Province,” and said, “Floor Leader Joo mentioned that budgets are limited and should be used efficiently and contribute to reproduction, and I fully agree.”

Regarding real estate issues, Governor Lee said, “As a measure to minimize housing speculation, wouldn’t it be desirable to supply ultra-long-term public rental housing?” and added, “I ask the political circles for legislative or policy decisions.”
