What are some of the voices in the politics regarding disaster subsidies?

From tomorrow, the 3rd COVID-19 disaster support payment will begin.

This subsidy will be provided by selecting vulnerable groups such as small businessmen and special type workers who have been damaged by the re-proliferation of Corona 19.

In the midst of this, there are voices from the politics that the national disaster support fund is needed.

In addition, this argument is strong in the Democratic Party.

Representative Lee Nak-yeon, who previously revealed that he will be able to review the distribution of national disaster subsidies depending on the situation, said today on his SNS that he will prepare additional support plans quickly and flexibly by closely examining the current situation of the public and the coronavirus situation.

He said that the 3rd subsidy to be paid from tomorrow will not be enough, but it is interpreted as referring to the possibility of reviewing the entire national disaster subsidy once again.

Earlier, Hyang-ja Yang, Supreme Commissioner Kim Jong-min, and Rep. Kim Doo-gwan emphasized the need for disaster support for the entire people, and Gyeonggi Governor Lee Jae-myeong wrote a letter to the ruling and opposition lawmakers and Deputy Prime Minister Hong Nam-ki to pay the disaster support money in local currency to all the people.

It seems that the Democratic Party will grow these arguments by looking at the quarantine situation.

The prerequisite is that the spread of Corona 19 subsides as the support for the whole people also has an aspect to boost consumption.

A Democratic Party official predicted that there will be a review at the point when the social distancing, which is currently the 2.5th stage, is lowered as there is consensus within the party about the need for disaster support for the entire population.

However, in an interview with the media today, Deputy Prime Minister Hong Nam-ki said that the discussion on the 4th disaster subsidy is too early and that if necessary, it is desirable to provide selective support to the victims.

Regarding the expansion of the all-popular disaster support claims centered on the Democratic Party, the people’s power is criticizing that it is for the money-releasing election to make such a claim before the re-election.

House Representative Joo Ho-young criticized him as being too absurd whether he was aiming for the April election or whether there are adequate financial measures.

As the third disaster subsidy payment begins tomorrow, the battle over additional subsidies is expected to heat up.

Are you saying that discussions on supplementary measures against business restrictions are also in full swing?

The government decided to allow the operation of all indoor sports facilities when there was a controversy over equity issues regarding the restrictions on the business of indoor sports facilities such as gyms.

However, controversy about its effectiveness is being raised by limiting the number of students to teach at the same time to 9 or less for only children and students.

In the case of gyms, most of them don’t benefit as much as adults use.

In addition, the Democratic Party and the government are discussing supplementary measures in earnest.

It is expected that a discussion will be made not to allow sales by applying different numbers of people depending on the area, rather than uniform sales restrictions.

In addition, there seems to be a possibility that a plan to ease the business hours limited to 9 p.m. may be considered.

There is also an opinion that if the number of people is limited depending on the area, it is not necessary to close the business after 9pm.

In addition, a plan to institutionalize support for small business owners affected by business restrictions is expected to be discussed later.

The unilateral business restriction is expected to be discussed with the financial authorities in the future, as it is determined that it is necessary to implement support measures together as it may cause opposition from small business owners.

But again, the Democratic Party’s position is that the judgment of the quarantine authorities is the most important.

This is because the quarantine stance should not be shaken due to the demands of the politicians and side effects should not occur.

With the recent extension of 2.5 steps of social distancing, attention is paid to what supplementary measures will come out of the growing pain of small business owners.
