Gyeonggi Governor Lee Jae-myeong is holding a press conference on the second payment of basic disaster income in Gyeonggi-do at Gyeonggi Province on the 20th. Joint Report Group
‘I avoided a head-on conflict with the government and the ruling party, but I said everything I wanted to say.’
The press conference on the 20th of the Gyeonggi Governor Lee Jae-myung’s disaster support payment is summarized as follows. Governor Lee did not bend the policy of providing a universal disaster support fund of 100,000 won per person in Gyeonggi Province. However, it was decided to postpone the payment period. It looks like a’compromise’ with the position of the ruling party leadership that the payment of universal disaster subsidies could interfere with the prevention of novel coronavirus infection (Corona 19). However, he did not bend his beliefs about universal welfare, and he continued to check against the Democratic Party leader with Lee Nak-yeon.
Trade-offs and beliefs with the Party leadership are clearly expressed
Governor Lee said at a press conference held at the Gyeonggi-do Office that day, “I will respect the recommendations of the party leadership and observe the progress of the COVID-19 quarantine, and then carefully review the situation and decide the timing of (disaster support payment).” The Democratic Party’s leadership gave it to Governor Lee the day before, accepting the position, “Let’s make an autonomous judgment but adjust the timing considering the quarantine situation.” However, at a press conference, Governor Lee emphasized the claim that’universal payments are necessary.’ Governor Lee said, “It is Gyeonggi Province’s position that there is no problem (with the provision of universal disaster subsidies), but the Democratic Party’s recommendations and concerns are also understood, so I want to make a decision carefully.”
Governor Lee emphasized that Gyeonggi-do’s policy of providing universal disaster assistance is no different from that of President Moon Jae-in. In fact, he mentioned President Moon’s remarks at the New Year’s press conference on the 18th, saying, “President Moon said he can do anything that the local government supports itself,” he said. Governor Lee also moved to the press conference, which was originally held on the same day as the President’s New Year press conference.

A word’with bones’ for competitor Lee Nak-yeon
However, Governor Lee said a boneless word to Democratic Party President Lee Nak-yeon, a major rival. The Governor Lee, who mentioned that CEO Lee uploaded a picture of packing bread at a bakery on the Social Network Service (SNS) the day before, said, “If you consume (as a disaster support fund), the risk of infection will increase. He said, “It doesn’t prevent consumption itself from seeing you take an authentication shot.” Representative Lee appeared at the MBC news desk the day before and criticized Gyeonggi-do’s universal disaster subsidy policy, saying, “I am distant now, but telling me to consume it may be similar to turning on the left blinker and going to the right.” On the 29th, Governor Lee visits Gwangju, Lee’s garden, and meets with members of the Gwangju region to attend the agreement ceremony for building an artificial intelligence healthcare platform. Since the public sentiment toward Lee Myung-bak and Park Geun-hye is fluctuating with the’pardonations of former Presidents’, the Governor’s actions on this day are also drawing attention.
