In addition, the Democratic Party is struggling to pay the Corona 19 4th disaster support fund to all the people.
The 4th disaster support payment is in fact confirmed. You just have to decide whether to pay selectively or universally. In this situation, the Democratic Party is creating an atmosphere in which the Democratic Party is trying to pay a disaster subsidy to all the people.
Lee Nak-yeon, the leader of the Democratic Party, said on the 4th that “when Corona 19 calms down and the economy needs to be promoted, we can also review plans to support the whole people.” He, who had always adhered to selective payments, quickly turned his stance toward payments to the whole people.
In an interview with CBS Radio’Kim Hyun-jung’s News Show’ on the 7th, Yang Hyang-ja, the top member of the Democratic Party, who insisted on the payment of the’All National Disaster Consolation Fund’, said, “Now is the time to give consolation money beyond the stimulus of consumption or economic stimulus.” Compared to the world countries, there is no problem.” He said, “We need to provide financial leverage as the last support for the COVID-19 war. We should start discussing it now and pay it at least after the Lunar New Year or at least before the first half,” he said.
On the same day, Chief Commissioner Kim Jong-min predicted in an interview with MBC Radio’s’Kim Jong-bae’s attention’ that “it is more likely to support the whole country for promoting the overall economy than customized support for the victims.” He said, “It is linked to the quarantine situation. It is said that the vaccine will be released in February and the cure will be released in January only when the quarantine has been resolved to some extent and it is determined that the economy is in a situation to accelerate.” Isn’t it? If the (diagnosed) falls below 500 due to the distancing effect, this situation should be considered comprehensively and evaluated,” he said.
Gyeonggi Gyeonggi Governor Lee Jae-myeong, a member of the Democratic Party, appeared on JTBC’s’New Year’s Special Debate’ on the 5th and presented the whole national payment theory by saying:
“After the first (all citizens) support, the income of the low-income class increased even more. After the second (selection) application, it was found that the income of the high income earners increased more and the consumption of the low income income decreased further. So there is a problem that this is not accurately screened.”
The problem is that the opposition party is protesting that the’All National Disaster Compensation Fund’ is for election purposes. On the 8th, Rep. Haejin Cho said the following at YTN Radio’s’Starting New Morning of Hwang Bo-seon’, opposing the payment of the entire public.
“I am negative about the payment of all citizens. Everyone is struggling because of Corona 19, but there are quite a few people who are in crisis of living at all. However, there are many industries that are hitting jackpots even in this riot. As a whole, there are many industries that are booming, as opposed to the people becoming difficult and in crisis. In the meantime, there are many public servants who are paying full salaries, and many employees of mid-sized companies of large companies. Do these people have to pay disaster assistance with citizens’ taxes?”
Rep. Cho protested that the payment to the whole people was a ticketing act to make the by-election of the Mayor of Seoul and the Busan Mayor in April a voluntary election. He said, “In the 21st general election, there was an impact of the emergency disaster subsidies that were almost sprayed just before the election. Again, doubts are being raised that the story will come out ahead of the local and by-elections,” he said. “If the election goes to the ruling and opposition parties, there is a possibility that the distribution of the national disaster subsidies will be a part of the game.”
Regarding this, Democratic Party member Lee Jae-jeong, who appeared on the same broadcast, said, “When the opposition always enters the election, we talk in this frame. In that sense, it is just the logic that the state should do nothing in Korea, where by-election, local elections, parliamentary elections, and presidential elections exist virtually every day.” He argued that “apart from public opinion, there are many opinions that the payment should be paid to the entire people in fact, even within the political sphere.”
Is Lee’s assertion that public opinion has leaned on the payment of the whole people is correct? On the 6th, when Real Meter surveyed the consensus of the 4th disaster support payment to 500 people over the age of 18 nationwide, 68.1% of the respondents answered’I agree.’ 30.0% answered’I don’t agree’ and 1.9% answered’I don’t know’. This means that the opinion that sympathizes with the payment of the whole people prevailed. The sample error for this survey is ±4.4% at a 95% confidence level. For more information, please refer to the Real Meter homepage.
As public opinion supports the payment of the whole people, it seems difficult even as an opposition party to oppose it. There is a possibility of looking at the trend of public opinion and inclined to the question,’Is there no choice but to pay?’
