President Yoon Suk Yeol has called on the National Unity Commission to diagnose the structural causes of polarization, saying he will break the polarization and open a new middle-class era.

The ruling party and the government are also stepping up their "people's livelihood" by checking measures to support small business owners and self-employed people.

A day after returning from his tour of South America, Yoon Suk Yeol's president said he would attend a national breakfast prayer meeting to usher in a "new era of middle class."

He emphasized that he would achieve the "overcoming polarization" that he had set as his national goal in the second half of the year and give hope to all the people.

[Yoon Suk Yeol / President: In the second half of the year, we need to overcome the polarization so that all citizens can join the national development with hope for the future.]

{President Yoon said he would also speed up the 'four major structural reforms' and vowed to complete key medical reforms by the end of the year.

At a luncheon with the presidential organization and the National Integration Committee, President Yoon was briefed on measures related to small and medium-sized enterprises and listened to measures to resolve polarization.

[Jeong Hye-jeon / Presidential Office Spokesperson: The president said that national unity can only be achieved when the polarization is broken, and asked for an accurate diagnosis of the basic and structural causes of polarization.]

The government and the ruling party also held a party-government council meeting to share "people's livelihoods" with the presidential office.

[Han Dong-hoon / Representative of People's Power: We will also prepare effective measures to reduce the burden on small business owners and self-employed people.]

[Han Deok-soo / Prime Minister: The government will focus on increasing growth potential and adding to the difficulties of people's livelihoods through necessary reforms.]

The presidential office is preparing to announce policies for the working class and the middle class one after another at the end of the year and the beginning of the year.

At the same time, the plan is to increase the power of state administration in the second half of the year by providing a place for dialogue with the people.

However, the National Assembly needs support in the budget and bill process, but it is unclear whether the opposition party's cooperation can be achieved.
