Prime Minister Jung “100 trillion-dollar loss compensation law? Malicious report”

Prime Minister Jeong Sye-gyun said on the 24th, “A media reported that’Prime Minister Jeong Sye-gyun brought up a 100 trillion-dollar loss compensation law,’ which is a truly malicious report that confuses the people.”

Prime Minister Chung said in a Facebook post on the same day, and explained, “My proposal for the legalization of compensation for losses was to express a principled position to implement the spirit of the constitution that stipulates compensation for property damage by law.”

Prime Minister Chung discussed the need to compensate for operating losses for self-employed and small business owners following the new coronavirus infection (Corona 19) quarantine measures, and ordered a review of legislation for this at the Central Disaster and Safety Countermeasure Headquarters meeting on the 21st.

Regarding this, some media reported that it is a ‘100 trillion won loss compensation law’ that takes 100 trillion won into account, considering the four-month business limit.

Prime Minister Chung said, “It is natural to compensate for the operating loss caused by the government’s executive order in the pandemic situation of Corona 19. Rather, I think this discussion is too late.”

Prime Minister Jung emphasized, “However, it is a matter of sufficiently debating and deciding what is the realistic plan, taking into account the government’s financial burden, etc.,” he said.

He said, “However, I am very suspicious of the intention to frame 100 trillion won as if the government is trying to do something absurd,” he said. “This type of report is intended to defeat the government’s efforts to wipe the tears of the self-employed and small businesses It is considered to be only “.
