In addition, the Democratic Party Chairman of the Coordinating Policy of the Democratic Party today (16th), regarding the plan to deal with the additional corrective budget for the payment of emergency funds for coronavirus infection-19 (corona19), said, I'm going to push for it. "

The deputy chairman Cho said during a briefing at the National Assembly on this day, saying, "This is a one-point change for the payment of funds, so if the government submits the proposed plan, it will be processed by the National Assembly as soon as possible."

In addition, the opposition parties, such as the Future Unification Party, also agreed to cooperate as soon as possible, as they agreed to provide universal support funds.

As for the timing of the payment of the disaster relief fund, he said, "If it is processed quickly in April, we plan to promote payment to all citizens in May."

The government held a temporary state meeting on this day to finalize an additional budget estimate of KRW 6.7 trillion to provide emergency disaster assistance to the lower 1,478 million households under 70% of those suffering from corona19.

The Democratic Party plans to increase the budget during the National Assembly review process to provide emergency disaster relief to all households, not the bottom 70% of income.

It is estimated that the budget for emergency disaster assistance will cost 13 trillion won if paid to all citizens.

"The government once submitted a supplementary proposal to the National Assembly for 70% of the target (low income), but the Democratic Party said the entire national payment during the general election, and the opposition party voiced the same voice." I think I might do it. "

Regarding the financial resources needed for all national payments, the government's supplementary financial resources are used to cover the entire expenditure restructuring and fund support without issuing government bonds. "I think we can discuss it without detracting from it."

In regards to the third cardinal, Cho said, “I haven't considered the second cardinal review yet, but it is too early to tell the timing of the third cardinal.” While watching the situation, if a third round is needed in the future, he can also be reviewed. "

The Democratic Party plans to discuss the agenda with the opposition with the goal of holding a plenary session for the municipal administration's speech early next week.
