President Moon Jae-in said on the 2nd, in relation to the 4th disaster subsidy, “because the public welfare and employment crisis caused by the corona is more serious than ever, and solving this is the most urgent task of the government and the National Assembly.”
President Moon said at a state council meeting presided over at the Blue House on the same day, “The government prepared the 4th disaster support fund of KRW 19.500 trillion through consultations with the party and the government. “We added 4.5 trillion won in the existing budget to the additional budget of 15 trillion won.”

President Moon particularly emphasized that “for two consecutive years following last year, an additional bill was submitted to the National Assembly in early March.”
The government announced the first disaster subsidy payment plan on the 12th of last year’s 4·15 general election. At that time, the election ended with the overwhelming victory of the ruling Democratic Party. In the political world, there are many opinions on the success of early quarantine as well as the disaster subsidies announced before the general election as the core background of the ruling party’s victory at the time.
President Moon ordered the “March payment” of the 4th disaster support fund several times ahead of this year’s 4/7 Seoul-Busan by-election. It means to finish the payment before the election. In addition to the 4th disaster subsidy, President Moon has also announced the payment of disaster subsidies to all citizens. President Moon again ordered a’speed battle’, saying, “I urge the National Assembly to promptly discuss and deal with it so that disaster assistance can be paid to people in need as soon as possible.”
President Moon said, “(The 4th Disaster Subsidy) is the largest of the four Corona Disaster Subsidies. We paid special attention to minimizing blind spots while supporting the victims in a thick and wide range.” He emphasized, “The support fund for small business owners has been greatly expanded to a scale of 6.7 trillion won, greatly expanding the target of support to 3.85 million and raising the cost of support to a maximum of 5 million won.” “It also includes support for small business owners to reduce their electricity bills for three months. We made efforts to find blind spots such as street vendors, working poor, and households at risk of living as much as possible, and even introduced specific details such as “Including emergency employment measures to quickly respond to the employment crisis.”
Regarding the corona vaccination, he said, “We will achieve mass immunity in November without disruption.” President Moon said, “Korea is a country that has better established vaccination infrastructure than any other country and is unmatched in speed and inoculation rate as shown in annual flu vaccination.” “After quarantine, we will become a model country in vaccination and group immunization. I will be able to do it.” “The government promises and takes responsibility for the safety of any vaccine,” he said. “I ask the government and the media to actively cooperate for a stable vaccination while being wary of fake news that arouses public anxiety.”

President Moon also said, “It is very meaningful in that it stated the responsibility for the national violence and laid the groundwork for compensation and compensation for the victims in connection with the passage of the National Assembly last month for the amendment to the Special Act on the investigation of the truth of the 4/3 incident in Jeju and the restoration of the victims’ honor “It is a deep progress,” he said. “Investigating the truth, restoring honor, and taking measures to compensate for damages are a natural duty of the state to the people who have been unjustly sacrificed.”
In particular, President Moon said, “After the Kim Dae-jung administration, which enacted a special law on the taboo on April 3 and opened the door to truth, and the Roh Moo-hyun administration, which the president first recognized and apologized for the state’s responsibility, the Korean government has made great progress again. I feel it.” He said, “Our national level has developed to that extent.”
President Moon said, “It was an achievement made 30 years after joining the ILO in 1991,” saying that the three ratifications of the three core conventions of the International Labor Organization (ILO) were passed by the National Assembly. I prepared it.”
Labor-related issues, including the investigation of the truth about the April 3 incident and the restoration of honor, have been cited as major concerns by the progressive camp, the support of the Democratic Party.
