The People Power Party's Policy Coordination Headquarters selected nine policy areas in this pledge book: ▲Future growth engines ▲Vital economy ▲Strong root economy ▲Thriving citizens ▲All together development ▲South Korea innovation ▲Robust national security ▲Citizen assurance safety ▲Comprehensive welfare. Each area has been subdivided into 41 practical tasks, and a total of 307 specific pledges are included.

The pledge book includes numerous 'paradigm shift' pledges in the political and economic fields that candidate Kim Moon-soo emphasized during the election process.

It is centered around proposals such as shortening the presidential term by three years and introducing a four-year re-election system, establishing a Regulatory Innovation Office, transforming the regulatory paradigm for the AI (artificial intelligence) era, granting regulatory exemption authority to local government heads, introducing 'Mega Free Zones,' reflecting the voices of non-regular workers and women through a partial worker representative system, and expanding power infrastructure through a realistic energy mix.

In the pledges by city and province, emphasis was placed on strengthening decentralization and regional autonomy. It included a bold transfer of authority from the central government to local governments, fostering industries suited to regional characteristics, transferring regulatory authority for green belts, creating local jobs, expanding living infrastructure, and improving education and welfare services, systematically reflecting the longstanding wishes of the region.

Numerous livelihood-focused pledges that are highly relatable to citizens are also included. For example, cash back for small business credit card expenditures, minimum monthly payment of 500,000 won for family caregivers, health insurance coverage for cervical cancer vaccines, a designated caregiver registration system, and mandatory online disclosure of animal hospital medical service items and prices are representative.

The People Power Party also emphasized that 'the only one capable of fulfilling all the promised pledges is candidate Kim Moon-soo.' It explained that the 'K-Plum Book' (eradication of parachute appointments in the presidential office) and the 'reform of the wage system to ensure compensation for work done' are pledges that only candidate Kim can fulfill.

The People Power Party stated, 'We will continue to prioritize the people's perspective and strive to develop and implement policies to create a greater South Korea.'

The pledge book can be accessed starting today in the 'Pledge Resource Center' on the People Power Party's website.
