Lee to deliver budget speech before parliament
President Lee Jae Myung is set to deliver a policy address before the National Assembly on November 2, explaining the government's record budget proposal of 820.9 trillion won (about 94.4 trillion yen) and calling for parliamentary cooperation to ensure its smooth passage, Yonhap reports. The speech comes as Lee's approval rating has slipped to 39 percent in a Gallup Korea poll conducted October 28-30, and follows his recent remarks on migrant workers and affirmative action that drew controversy. Korean media coverage focuses on the budget's size and the need for bipartisan support, with the president expected to emphasize fiscal priorities and sustained growth.
