Seoul Mayor Oh Se-hoon: ”Lee Jae-myung administration's consumption coupons are just cash handouts... robbing future generations” - South Korea

On the 9th, Seoul Mayor Oh Sehun commented on the government's issuance of consumption coupons to restore people's livelihoods, saying, "If the entire country continues to borrow money and distribute cash, future generations will not be able to enjoy the wealth of previous generations.
It is no exaggeration to say that this is shameless and a plunder of future generations." Mayor Wu also posted on Facebook that day, "It is not coupons that should be placed on the shoulders of young people, but competitiveness."
Mayor Wu cited the rise of China, the US's nationalistic diplomacy, and the climate crisis, saying, "I feel scared by the rapid changes in the world."
He continued, "However, whether the government and the ruling Democratic Party are aware of the deep concerns of young people or not, they are calling this one-off cash handout a 'Consumption Coupon for the Recovery of People's Livelihoods'."
"They named it 'Bong' and poured 13 trillion won (approximately 1.48 trillion yen) into it. The ballooning debt will now fall directly on the shoulders of young people," he said.
Furthermore, Mayor Oh stated, "Since I became mayor of Seoul in 2006, I have emphasized the cultural economy and urban competitiveness," and
The award showcased outstanding examples such as the Seoul Design Plaza (DDP), Hangang Sebitseom Island, Hangang Park, Namsan, and Yongsan International Business District.
He also said, "The movement forces, who have never produced any brand, have always shown the same attitude at every moment of change.
They simply unconditionally opposed both the Gyecheon Reformation and the Han River Renaissance. If they had followed their logic, Seoul would not be a "city of K-POP demon hunters" but a "city that's stopped."
In particular, Mayor Oh said, "Seoul must once again leap forward to become a 'creative city' and a 'brand city.' Only then can young people seed creative capital and brand capital."
"We can turn it into money and compete with the world," he emphasized.
