Hong Nam-gi, who has endured the “thicker support” selective payment

Deputy Prime Minister Hong Nam-ki and Minister of Strategy and Finance have entered the stage. It once again argued that the 4th emergency disaster subsidy should be paid selectively to some victims.

On the 10th, Deputy Prime Minister Hong said at the Emergency Economy Central Countermeasure Headquarters meeting, “The government is also seriously aware of the suffering of the victims, such as the self-employed and small businessmen, who are experiencing difficulties.” At the same time, “the government is reviewing’thicker support, support for reinforcing blind spots’, etc., based on the acceleration of the execution of the third damage support measures and the effect of the support so far.” I will pay.” This is a reference to the 4th disaster support fund.

Analysts revealed that it was revisiting the principle of the 4th disaster subsidy selective payment with the phrases’thicker’,’blind spot reinforcement’ and’additional support for the victims’, emphasized by Deputy Prime Minister Hong. It is contrary to the ruling Democratic Party’s promotion of a plan to pay 20 to 30 trillion won worth of’all citizens + selection’.

The gap between the ruling party’s and the government’s position, divided by the selection of the whole people, is hardly narrowing. At a closed party, government, and government meeting held on the 9th the previous day, they agreed to organize an additional budget for the 4th disaster support early (within the first quarter), but the payment method could not be concluded. It is about discussing again after the Lunar New Year holidays.

Of course, the ruling party is still pushing for a plan to pay the fourth disaster support fund in March as early as possible. Democratic Party Representative Lee Nak-yeon said on the 9th, “Even if there is a time difference (to select payments with all the people), it is necessary to roughly measure the overall scale or timing.”
