The second supplementary budget (the supplementary budget) that the government organized to provide emergency disaster relief funds for the Corona 19 crisis today (16th) has passed to the National Assembly deliberation stage.

The government intends to provide subsidies only to households with incomes below 70%, but the opposition parties are expected to expand the scope of payments in earnest, as they have alleged to expand the scope of the subsidy payments to the entire public in unison.

In addition to the ruling party, the Democratic Party announced that it would pay 1 million won per household for 4 people, regardless of region, income, or class.

It is estimated that if the second supplementary scale is increased by 3 ~ 4 trillion won from 7 trillion won suggested by the government, and 2 trillion won is added to the local government, a total of 13 trillion won will be provided.

The future opposition party, the future unification party, promised to pay 500,000 won per person (4 million households, 2 million won per person) and secured 100 trillion won through a 20% budget adjustment among the 512 trillion won this year. I think it can be raised without additional tax burden.

The Socialist Party and the Justice Party are also agreeing to offer to all the people.

The three parties of the opposition bargaining group have been asking for the opening of the Provisional Assembly today from the chairman of the National Assembly, Moon Hee-sang, to deal with the supplementary plan for the payment of emergency disaster relief funds.

In this general election, the Democratic Party, along with the Democratic Party and the Citizens' Party, won over 180 seats, which is three-fifths of the parliamentary seats.

However, some critics say that the final result should be watched more as how unsuccessfully the unified party in the election will actively negotiate with the ruling party.

In this regard, Prime Minister Hong said in a joint government briefing today, "Some states that some governments need to support 100% of households across the country, but the support standard of 70% of income is considered by the government to comprehensively consider urgency, efficiency, equity and financial power." "It was decided," he said.
