Next year’s government budget was ‘late’ passed by the National Assembly this morning.
22 days after the statutory deadline.
The processing process is also controversial, but criticism was raised of the ‘slow budget’ without proper screening as the last minute negotiation process between the power of the people and the Democratic Party was not revealed at all.
Amid the criticism that it literally “appears like a goblin,” a large number of votes against and abstentions came out.
This is reporter Kim Min-chan’s report.

The full meeting of the National Assembly was raised when the New Year’s budget bill worth 638 trillion was won.
Although it was a budget measure agreed by the opposition parties and the opposition parties, a rare scene occurred where as many as 13 people argued for and against.
After the budget bill has been handed over to the ruling discussion board and opposition leaders, there is no written record of the review.
The publication of the budget bill is all an agreement between the floor leaders of the opposition parties and the opposition parties.
The government’s original plan increased by 3.9 trillion won and decreased by 4.2 trillion won, but there is no explanation of where it increased and where it was reduced.

“Any members of Congress who have seen the budget bill? I’m sure nobody has seen the details.”
The same is true of various budget-related tax law amendments.
In particular, the opposition and opposition parties agreed to reduce the corporate tax rate by 1% c for all corporations, from large corporations to small and medium enterprises.
There was no proper screening, and criticism came that it was just the result of a transaction between two huge parties.

“He appears like a goblin, threatening the constitutional spirit of democracy and blaspheming our National Assembly.”
Even within the Democratic Party, the party of the agreement, dissent emerged.

“This agreement is nothing more than irresponsible political collusion that further exacerbates polarization and erodes democracy.”
In the end, the corporate tax amendment was passed with 203 votes in favor, but 37 votes against and 34 abstentions.
Although it was an agreement between the ruling opposition parties, there were a number of secessionist votes.
In the strength of the people, Representative Jang Je-won, the only member of Yoon Haek-gwan, voted to abstain.
Representative Jang told MBC, “I abstained considering the fact that the opposition parties and the opposition parties inevitably agreed,” making his opposition clear.
It seems to have indirectly revealed President Yoon’s dissatisfaction with the agreement between the ruling and opposition parties that did not further reduce corporate tax.
