Amidst ongoing forest fire relief efforts, a political party has criticized claims made by another party regarding​ the national reserve ⁢funds available for disaster relief. The‌ criticism‌ centers around ⁢the assertion that the ⁣available funds are sufficient, with the accusing party⁢ stating that such claims are misleading and avoid ​obligation for previous budget cuts.

A ​representative of the national Policy Committee stated that the national budget adheres to specific ​principles and ‍standards.

According to the representative, the government initially proposed a budget reserve of ₩4.8 trillion for ​the year. However,the Democratic Party allegedly reduced ‍this amount by ₩2.4 trillion, resulting in a final allocation of ₩2.4 trillion. Of‌ this, ₩1.6 trillion was designated for disaster​ relief, while the remaining ₩800 billion⁤ was earmarked ⁤for‍ economic crisis response ​and national security.

It is ⁤claimed that ₩1.2 trillion of ​the ₩1.6 trillion allocated for​ disaster relief⁣ was ⁣unilaterally used for free high‌ school education,leaving approximately ₩400 billion⁢ available for​ immediate⁣ disaster response.

The total disaster relief budget across all‍ ministries is reportedly ₩927 ‌billion, not ₩970 billion as ⁤claimed by the Democratic Party. Of this, only ₩99.8 billion is promptly available.A⁣ meaningful portion,₩417 billion,is allocated to disasters that occurred in the previous year,leaving ₩510 ‌billion for this year’s events.

Of the ₩510 billion, funds are being used for drought relief and other agricultural and maritime needs. Additionally, the Forest Service has already utilized‌ ₩100 billion for re-discharge materials, and other ministries⁤ have spent ₩46.6 billion. After accounting for⁢ these expenditures, the actual remaining budget ‍is ₩199.8 billion.

A ₩1.5 trillion government debt‍ burden budget cannot be used for compensation or living expenses for disaster​ victims, as it ⁢is indeed ‍restricted ​to⁤ facility recovery. This debt ‌burden⁣ is described as a “trauma” and not an immediately accessible​ budget.

Therefore, the currently available budget is⁣ calculated by adding the ₩199.8 billion to the ₩400 billion reserve, resulting in ₩600 billion. The political party argues that even with‍ this amount, preparations are needed for potential future disasters such as the rainy season and typhoons. They emphasize the need for⁤ sufficient financial preparation to ensure a swift and effective response ‌to any⁢ additional damage.

The party is advocating for‍ securing​ ₩2 ⁤trillion in funds and plans to discuss this‌ with the‌ government.

The representative stated, ​ We will‌ immediately⁢ execute the ₩600 billion that can​ be used⁤ immediately to support the forest fires.
