Senior Spokesperson Kwon Chil-seung said to reporters after the Supreme Council meeting held at the National Assembly that morning, "We propose a three-party meeting among the President, the ruling party leader, and the opposition party leader to focus on economic recovery and addressing people’s livelihoods."

Spokesperson Kwon emphasized, "Amid severe difficulties in people’s livelihoods, the government and ruling party have largely ignored the opposition party, and politics has been missing and needs to be restored. The Democratic Party’s basic stance is that it is time for the President to personally step up for recent efforts to restore livelihoods and politics."

Previously, Democratic Party leader Lee Jae-myung had demanded a livelihood summit with President Yoon, while People Power Party leader Kim Gi-hyeon proposed a 'ruling and opposition party leaders’ livelihood cooperation meeting.'

When asked if this means they will not hold the bilateral meeting proposed by Leader Kim, Senior Spokesperson Kwon replied, "Yes. We have proposed a three-party meeting."

Regarding the timing of the three-party meeting, he said, "It needs to be discussed practically," adding, "It is difficult to specify while coordinating schedules."
