이 대통령 “세제개편안 누더기 비판?…정책은 진리와 달라”

South Korean President Yoon Suk-yeol stated on November 11 that the Finance Ministry's chief had criticized the proposed tax reform bill, calling it "uneven" and "lacking consistency." The president defended his administration's stance, saying that "policy" allows for differing viewpoints and that the government would listen to criticisms and incorporate them into the final decision.

He emphasized the importance of internal discussions among government agencies before presenting a final proposal to Parliament. President Yoon also noted recent disagreements between the Ministry of Trade, Industry and Energy and the Ministry of Labor regarding the 52-hour workweek, stating that it was a sign of internal division within the government.

He reiterated that the government must work towards resolving internal conflicts and avoid public controversy.
