On the 6th, Chairman Kwon Young-se of the emergency committee said, "I believe we should actually focus on liberalizing the economy so that large corporations can operate freely."
On that day in the morning, Chairman Kwon held a press briefing at the National Assembly main building to mark one month since the launch of the emergency committee and stated, "If we misinterpret economic democratization, we could lead in the wrong direction."
In response to a question from reporters about "the internal evaluation of the revitalization part and future goals of the emergency committee," Chairman Kwon said, "I attended a public hearing related to constitutional amendments, and Dr. Kim Jong-in was giving a keynote speech." He added, "Didn't Dr. Kim talk about economic democratization? During the past Saenuri Party era, we accepted that as our catchphrase and made considerable efforts, but if we misinterpret economic democratization, we might impose excessive regulations and lead our economy in the wrong direction."
He stated, "For example, the mandatory holiday system for large supermarkets is currently on Sundays, but there has been a discussion in the emergency committee meetings about shifting it to weekdays for economic revitalization." He then noted, "I understand that the Democratic Party opposes it, but I think this is a time when autonomy is needed in economic democratization."
He added, "Although we have been trying to loosen various regulations, corporations still say they are struggling."
