Governor Lee Jae-myung, Governor of Gyeonggi Province, suggested the government and the National Assembly to provide the 4th disaster subsidies for the whole country, and Prime Minister Jeong Sye-gyun on the 7th would be free from unicellular debates such as, “Let’s no more solve and let’s solve less”. I said. He emphasized the principle as the head of the cabinet, saying, “Because it is urgent, it is neither wise nor fair to solve it.”
Prime Minister Chung wrote on his Facebook page on the same day that he wrote, “I thank Governor Jae-myung Lee’s words,” and said, “Thank you for your comments on my New Year’s interview. I went one step further and discussed more in depth about making policies for recovery of people’s livelihoods. I want to.”
Prime Minister Jeong pointed out, “As stated in the interview, I think that public welfare is more important than fiscal soundness.” “When public welfare collapses, it all collapses, and no economic indicator precedes public welfare.”
He added, “If we respond to the economic downturn by boldly investing our finances when necessary, we will ultimately be able to prevent the financial collapse caused by the economic crisis.” “As I have been, I overcome the disaster through’active finances’. I will take the lead in doing it.”
Prime Minister Jeong Sye-gyun said, “I hope we will escape from single-celled debates such as’Let’s solve more’ and’Let’s solve less’. Now is the time to gather wisdom on how to’solve the government’s finances well’. “It is neither wise nor fair to say,” he stressed.
“It is clear that many citizens are faced with difficulties due to the distance to block infectious diseases, but it is true that there are some people in some industries whose circumstances have improved.” “For those who have escaped from such a disaster, government subsidies are It will be, but having to close the door can be a seed of desperate and precious hope for business owners.”
However, in response to the Governor’s claim for additional support, the Prime Minister said, “There are many people complaining of pain among the citizens who have not been supported at this time.” In particular, support for low-wage earned people who are in trouble due to Corona 19 is urgent. We will also actively consider ways to support additional people.”
Prime Minister Chung also commented on the Governor’s proposal to pay the government subsidies in local currency, “If the government’s fiscal input is to be effective, it must be spent’early’ and’in areas where support is desperate’.” You can achieve it without any problems even if you pay by recharging your credit card in the same way.” He pointed out, “While local currency, which is used only in the region, may be helpful to the local people, it is difficult to know why it is necessary to adopt this method at the national level.”
Lastly, Prime Minister Chung emphasized, “Now is the time to gather wisdom on how to’solve the government’s finances well’,” and “we are a one team.” He added, “If we wisely overcome the current crisis phase, we will be able to get out of the disaster faster and more stably than any other country in the world.”
