Lee Jae-myung: “The ruling party should align their words and actions on ‘pension reform first'”

“Do not attach strange conditions like automation devices”
Criticism of the government’s ‘Big Whale Project’
“Used all the money on the big scam drilling”, Lee Jae-myung, the leader of the Democratic Party of Korea, is speaking at the Supreme Council meeting held at the National Assembly on the 7th. Yonhap News,
,
, Lee Jae-myung, the leader of the Democratic Party, commented on the People Power Party’s plans to prioritize parametric pension reforms, saying, “This time, please don’t show behavior akin to ‘moonwalking’” and “I hope their words and actions align.”,
,
, At the Supreme Council meeting held at the National Assembly on the 7th, Lee stated, “The People Power Party often proposes actions but attaches intolerable conditions at the end, resulting in failure. I hope this pension reform doesn’t end up like that.”,
,
, Lee also mentioned the pension reform negotiations that took place at the end of the 21st National Assembly last year, where differences over income replacement rates, a key aspect of parametric reform, could not be resolved. He previously expressed willingness to accept the compromise proposal of a 44% income replacement rate, which was discussed within the ruling party at the time.,
,
, He added, “At that time, I thought, ‘Why are they doing this when an agreement was almost reached,’ and now, a year later, I hope they do not engage in actions that obstruct progress behind the scenes after publicly agreeing.”,
,
, Lee repeatedly emphasized, “I hope they don’t attach strange conditions at the last moment again,” and stressed, “Don’t virtually reject the proposal by suggesting conditions like automatic stabilization clauses.”,
,
, Lee also criticized the government’s ‘Big Whale Project’ saying, “There is a claim that due to a shortage of graphics processing units (GPUs) in Korea, AI research is being hindered and is moving abroad. The money that could have bought 3,000 top-spec GPUs for AI research has been completely spent on an attempt at a big scam drilling.”
