President Lee Jae-myung is donating winter clothing to migrant workers as the cold season approaches. He emphasized that migrant workers are colleagues and neighbors who contribute to our industries and communities, and he promised to ensure a safe working environment.
On November 10, President Lee posted on X (formerly Twitter) under the title "We will spend a warm winter with migrant workers by our side," stating, "The campaign to share with migrant workers has been ongoing across the country, and on the 15th, various organizations in Ulsan will come together to deliver winter clothing and work uniforms. I also plan to send winter clothing to contribute a small gesture of kindness."
He added, "Winter feels particularly cold for those who have left their hometowns and families to come to a foreign land. While a single piece of clothing may not block out all the cold, I believe the warmth contained within it will last for a long time."
President Lee remarked, "Migrant workers are our colleagues and neighbors who help build our industries and communities. Regardless of nationality or language, the value of labor is the same. The government will ensure that everyone can work safely and be respected."
He shared an article about the government's crackdown on fraudulent applications for housing in major regulated areas, revealing that 354 cases had been identified. He warned, "If confirmed as fraudulent, there will be criminal penalties and significant financial losses, including cancellation of winning applications."
He assured that comprehensive investigations would continue, stating, "We will create a sensible country where those who break the rules cannot benefit, and those who follow the rules do not suffer losses."
Regarding claims circulating online that individuals can receive a combined 1.2 million won in living and housing benefits by being homeless at Seoul Station, he pointed out, "Distorted information can misrepresent policies meant to help those in need."
President Lee stated, "Incorrect information can distort not only simple misunderstandings but also judgments about policies. Claims not based on facts should not obscure the intent of welfare systems or hinder necessary discussions."
