On the 26th, President Lee Jae-myung said during a National Assembly address explaining the second supplementary budget, "Now is the time for the government to step in so that the economy can bounce back. It's irresponsible watching from the sidelines while the government clings to austerity during an economic crisis, and it may even deny the very reason for the government's existence."
President Lee said, "The government's primary responsibility is to protect the lives of the people. It must be a government that safeguards the people's lives and responds to crises with practicality. It is the practical steps that save the economy and people's livelihoods, not ideology and slogans, that should be the direction of the new government."
