Lee Nak-yeon Side Criticizes Lee Jae-myung as a "'Basic' Series Without 'Basic'"
[Asia Economy Reporter Oh Ju-yeon] The camp of former Democratic Party presidential candidate Lee Nak-yeon continued to criticize the policies of Gyeonggi Province Governor Lee Jae-myung on the 12th.
On this day, Kim Hyo-eun, spokesperson for Lee's campaign, issued a statement saying, "Due to the lack of funding and concrete plans, it has been controversial as a fictitious pledge with no 'substance,' let alone the 'basics,'" fiercely attacking Governor Lee's presidential pledge known as the Basic Series.
He said, "At yesterday's primary candidate debate, the main targets of heavy criticism were Basic Income, Basic Housing, and Basic Loans. These are Lee Jae-myung candidate's 'Basic Series,'" he added.
Spokesperson Kim criticized, "Basic Income was called a 'clumsy basic income,' the plan to supply one million Basic Housing units was downgraded to 'Bong-i Kim Seon-dal' and 'empty boasting.' Basic Loans even drew comments such as 'no measures and no conscience.'"

He continued, "The three-piece Basic Series is not a 'gift set' for the people. It may look like a 'free set,' but it is a 'burden set,'" adding, "To become a national leader, one must explain the content and methods, not just the 'will' to execute."
