‘Lee Jae-myung-pyo’ begins reviewing the national disaster relief fund… The key to agreeing with the government and against the field | yunhap news

與, start discussing the payment plan within the year… Disagreements within the party

The government is virtually against the prudence… Opposition party strongly criticizes ‘ticketing act’

(Seoul = Yonhap News) Reporter Hong Ji-in Kim Yeon-jeong Reporter Jung Soo-yeon = The ruling party started a full-scale review of the ‘additional payment of disaster aid to the nation’ mentioned by Democratic Party presidential candidate Lee Jae-myung, but it is necessary to overcome the differences in the party, the government’s prudence, and opposition from the opposition. There are many mountains.

Candidate Lee announced on the 31st of last month that he intends to push for national disaster relief funds, saying, “In the face of the corona virus, an additional minimum of 300,000 to 500,000 won should be paid.”

In response, the Democratic Party’s election policy headquarters held its first meeting at the National Assembly on the afternoon of the 2nd and began to discuss ways to realize the payment of disaster aid to the nation within the year.

After the meeting, Policy Committee Chairman Park Wan-ju met with reporters and said, “We shared with our predecessors what the party (Policy Committee) reviewed about the method, timing, amount, and financial resources of the disaster subsidy payment. under review,” he said.

However, it is predicted that it will not be easy to reflect the disaster subsidy budget at the time of the regular National Assembly budget deliberation given the current financial situation is not favorable.

Even within the party, there are voices that are concerned about the recurrence of conflicts within the party over the fact that Candidate Lee’s remarks about the promotion of disaster aid were not coordinated in advance.

The government is raising prudence on the grounds that the national debt will increase due to the additional burden.

Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Strategy and Finance Hong Nam-ki, who claimed to be a ‘keeper of the country’s storehouse’, has maintained the position that disaster aid should be selected and paid only to the affected class instead of the entire people. Accordingly, the entire nation was opposed to the disaster relief fund, and it is highly likely to oppose this time as well.

Deputy Prime Minister Hong, who is actually visiting Italy to attend the G20 summit, said on the 30th (local time) of last month (local time) about Lee’s plan to pay national disaster relief funds, saying, “It is not appropriate to come to Rome and talk about it. “He also replied.

The People’s Power strongly opposes Lee’s claim to pay national disaster relief funds, defining it as a ‘ticketing act’.

Former Prosecutor General Yoon Seok-yeol mentioned the payment of 1 million won in disaster relief funds to the public in an SNS post on the same day and said, “It’s a ‘no promise’ that has not been verified and its feasibility is questionable.”

Rep. Hong Jun-pyo also recently criticized Candidate Lee’s national disaster aid on the radio, saying, “Isn’t it any different from an election in the era of the Liberal Party? The country is on the road to ruin.”

Former lawmaker Yoo Seung-min also recently criticized Lee’s proposal for a ‘one million won national disaster relief fund’ on social media, saying, “I’m going to get votes from the people’s tax, just like I did in Gyeonggi-do.”

Former Jeju Governor Won Hee-ryong also said, “It is not enough to worry about the self-employed and the national finances in difficult circumstances.”
