On Chuseok, the traditional Korean harvest festival, the Democratic Party and the People Power Party continued their public relations battle focused on livelihoods. The Democratic Party emphasized the government's achievements, promising to ensure that citizens can feel the impact, while the People Power Party accused President Lee Jae-myung and the ruling party of neglecting the people's welfare.
Lee Joo-hee, the Democratic Party's floor spokesperson, expressed support for the government's 'Housing Stability Plan' announced on September 21. She stated, "The plan aims to provide 1.19 million public housing units by 2030, the largest scale in housing welfare policy history," adding that 920,000 of these units will be supplied in the capital region, where housing demand is concentrated.
Detailing the plan, Lee emphasized, "This is just the beginning; the policy will be complete when citizens can feel its effects in their daily lives. We will listen to voices from the field and diligently support the legislative and budgetary processes to ensure the Housing Stability Plan is implemented without issues."
Meanwhile, Park Chung-kwon, the People Power Party's chief spokesperson, remarked, "Although the biggest holiday of the year has arrived, the hearts of citizens facing the holiday table are heavier than ever." He criticized the holiday table, which should be filled with abundance, as instead filled with deep sighs and worries.
Park stated, "As citizens struggle even to fill a shopping basket, the Lee Jae-myung administration and the ruling party are entrenched in arrogance and self-righteousness, pushing the people's lives into a dead end. They are ignoring the people's livelihoods while maintaining a wall of arrogance and disconnection from the public."
He added, "Amid the reckless power of a government focused solely on self-preservation and favoritism, the people's worries and anger have already surpassed a critical point. We will devote all our efforts to firmly restraining the Lee Jae-myung administration's unilateralism and tyranny and to correcting the abnormal governance of the country."
