[정치]Seol Seol’s public sentiment… Can the 4th disaster support fund universally be paid?

[앵커]

One of the biggest issues that will influence public sentiment after the Lunar New Year’s Eve ahead of the coming April by-election is the issue of the 4th Corona 19 disaster support payment.

Both the ruling and the opposition parties are in favor of supporting disaster subsidies, but are unable to narrow the disagreement over the method, target and timing of payment.

Let’s find out by connecting reporters to the National Assembly. Reporter Baek Jong-gyu!

After the Lunar New Year holidays, the ruling and opposition parties are in full-scale discussions over how, when and when the 4th disaster support is paid, and how to prepare financial resources?

One of the topics most often discussed in family conversations during this Lunar New Year holiday is the Corona 19 4th Disaster Support Fund.

Political circles are also citing disaster subsidies as the biggest issue that will determine the direction of public sentiment ahead of the by-election.

The concern is when and how the disaster assistance will be paid.

First of all, the Democratic Party of Korea, which officially formulated the 4th disaster support fund, is expressing its intention to provide support before the by-election.

Shortly before the Lunar New Year holiday, the Democratic Party, the government, and the Blue House held a closed meeting and agreed to organize an additional budget for the 4th disaster support payment.

Then, after the holiday season, we decided to discuss the size of the supplementary administration in earnest.

However, the method, scale, and timing of disaster support payments have not been properly discussed.

The Democratic Party is aiming to support universal and selective payments at the same time on the discussion table and support within March before the by-election. For this, there are not many tasks to be solved, and pain is expected.

First of all, Hong Nam-ki, Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Strategy and Finance, who is in charge of the country’s barns, is emphasizing heavy support and support for reinforcing blind spots.

In order to pay the 4th disaster subsidy, a budget of at least 20 trillion won is required, and it is expressing the position that selective support should be provided for reasons of impairing financial soundness.

In addition, in order to raise money, most of them have to pay deficit government bonds, which leads to a surge in debt.

Contrary to the opinion of the Democratic Party to simultaneously discuss universal support for the entire population and screening support for the victims, discussions between the party governments remain a task.

It is also difficult to reach an agreement with the opposition party, the power of the people.

Although the people’s strength is in favor of the big framework of the 4th disaster subsidy payment,

The payment of subsidies in March, just before the election, is regulated as a sensational cash distribution and populism.

At the same time, we are sticking to the position that, to the extent that finances can afford it, it is necessary to provide selective support focusing on the affected industries, such as small business owners and self-employed persons.

In addition, the process of discussion at the National Assembly is not expected to be smooth as it insists that the method of securing financial resources should be adjusted rather than an additional budget.

As the Democratic Party, the Ministry of Strategy and Finance, and the opposition parties have different opinions over the payment of disaster support, it is noteworthy whether the disagreement will narrow in the discussion after the Lunar New Year holiday.
