“The forsythia is forsythia, and the forsythia is a lilium.”
Gyeonggi Gyeonggi Governor Lee Jae-myung refuted the arguments of Democratic Party lawmaker Lee Won-wook who attacked Gyeonggi-do disaster basic income as populism.
On the 28th, Governor Lee Jae-myeong held a press conference related to the payment of 100,000 won per disaster basic income to all residents. Governor Lee was asked that there was a controversy over the name of’disaster basic income’ and said, “There is a person who calls (disaster basic income) a fake basic income, but forsythia is not a nari,” he said, “I don’t want to say this.” I couldn’t hide it.
Governor Lee also explained, “The policy has a goal to be aimed for,” he said. “However, since Gyeonggi-do disaster basic income is a disaster income supported by the basic income method, it is easy to understand.” Since the basic income for disaster in Gyeonggi-do is unconditionally paid to all residents living in Gyeonggi-do without examination of age or property, the principle of universality and unconditional basic income was applied mutatis mutandis.
Earlier, Congressman Lee Won-wook, who is known as the closest aide to Prime Minister Jeong Sye-gyun, who is one of the leading passport holders, posted a post on his Facebook page titled’To Governor Lee Jae-myeong’ on the 22nd. In this article, Congressman Lee said, “A lot of people think of Governor Jae-myeong Lee when it comes to basic income. As a friend and one of the politicians, I am grateful,” he said. “The basic income principle includes universality, flatness, punctuality, etc. In order to talk about the income issue, he criticized Governor Lee, saying, “You have to think about the above principles, not populism.”
Rep. Lee said, “Governor’s friend, my concerns are like this. It’s understandable that a universal payment will be given under the name of a disaster allowance by concession a hundred times. However, I agree to label the disposable or multiple-use allowance as’disaster basic income’.” “It doesn’t work,” he argued, “because it can lead to misunderstandings about the’basic income’ that we need to pursue in order to resolve social inequality and polarization.”
Rep. Lee also said, “Basic income should have a deep discussion centering on the principle. It is necessary to raise a leading issue, but it also needs social consensus,” he said. “Some people even argue that they reduce welfare costs and distribute equally to everyone. Therefore, it should be a priority to improve understanding of’basic income’.”
In particular, he said, “There is a concern that unnecessary discussions posed by the term’basic disaster income’ that are promoted like now can lead to social conflict.” “Wouldn’t a person with a great intention to lead the future of Korea should not provide the clues of that conflict?” Emphasized.
However, Rep. Won-wook Lee’s writing was criticized as a’dual behavior’ that denied his past actions. This is because Congressman Lee promoted efforts to implement’basic disaster income’ in the lead in the general election in April last year.

Political critic Kim Yong-min, chairman of Pyeonghwanamu, asked on social media on the 26th, “What would a friend do then?” while posting a promotional poster for the election that Congressman Lee used in the last general election. The poster says, “The basic disaster income for Hwaseong City proposed by Lee Won-wook is finally paid!” The phrase is clearly contained along with Lee’s appearance.
Chairman Kim Yong-min said, “Recently, Lee Yang-ban,’friend,’ and said that he attacked Governor Lee Jae-myeong. This governor is paying’fake basic income’,” he said. He said that (disaster basic income) will be paid soon, and even boasted that he had suggested,” he pointed out.
Chairman Kim pointed out, “I think Lee will only recognize’disaster basic income’ only if it is paid before the election.” Did you write a flag and fight against the opposing member?”
Chairman Kim said, “I don’t think that Governor Lee is trying to somehow realize the’basic disaster income’ as a pilot stage in order to achieve that’real basic income’,” and said, “What is a friend doing. Then what should I do?” Criticized Lee Won-wook.
To criticize the quarantine situation in Gyeonggi Province, presenting’wrong statistics”frequent’
As Congressman Won-wook Lee criticized Governor Lee Jae-myeong’s disaster basic income policy, the statistics related to the COVID-19 quarantine mobilized were also different from the facts, making it frown.
Rep. Lee said, “Gyeonggi Province is reported to be showing the lowest test rate in the nation even in the’preemptive inspection of infectious facilities’ for nursing care and mental hospitals, etc.,” he said. “Governor Lee Jae-myeong’s wonderful “The people who remember their actions will not be convinced of the situation in Gyeonggi Province, which is falling behind in quarantine.”
Assemblyman Lee said, “Even now, it is first to create Gyeonggi-do, which is the best in quarantine, and Gyeonggi-do, which can be relieved by increasing the inspection of vulnerable facilities even now.”

However, Lee’s claim that “the quarantine situation in Gyeonggi-do is very bad” was immediately refuted. According to data released by Gyeonggi-do, Gyeonggi Province has 312 nursing hospitals, 97 mental hospitals, 2817 nursing facilities, 6 mental care facilities, 98 nursing homes, 313 living facilities for the disabled, etc. from the 15th to the 21st. A total of 3643 locations were tested for corona19 in vulnerable facilities.
As a result, out of 93,458 test subjects, 83,593 and 11,122 (2,8529 nursing hospital workers measured twice), the test rate recorded 91%. This is nearly 30% above the national average of 63%.
In response, Governor Lee Jae-myeong said on his Facebook page on the 25th, “Some have undermined the K-prevention performance, and further argued that the number of corona19 infections in Gyeonggi Province is high.” Despite the fact, the absolute number of infected people is second.”
Governor Lee continued, “Especially when comparing the number of infected people per million people, it maintains the 3rd largest gap among 17 metropolitan cities nationwide,” and said, “Kim Hee-gyeom of the Ministry of Public Administration and Security also visited Gyeonggi-do “We highly appreciate the response to the coronavirus” and criticized Lee Won-wook’s argument based on’wrong statistics’.
