Through the video urging the enactment of the Basic Act, Lee Dong-jin, Mayor of Dobong-gu, said, “The Social Economy Basic Act will play a key role in transforming the past capital-centered economic system into a ‘people-centered economy.’ I hope the Basic Act will be enacted so that social economy can become a universal value in our society.”

This video urging the enactment of the Social Economy Basic Act was planned by the National Council of Local Governments for Social Solidarity Economy to raise awareness of social economy and urge the legislative enactment of the 'Social Economy Basic Act.'

The video will be available on the YouTube channel from the 10th.
