<Anchor> The



4th supplementary bill review, prepared to help those in need due to the coronavirus, began today (14th) at the National Assembly, but the communication fee of 20,000 won to be given to everyone over the age of 13 is still controversial.

The opposition party is criticizing the budget for being ineffective, but the government and the ruling party are confronting it as meaningful money to reduce the burden of the people.



This is reporter Yun Nara.



<Reporter> The



4th supplementary bill was on the table of the standing committee of the National Assembly today.



Minister of Public Administration and Security Jin-young, who is being examined for the first time, said about 20,000 won for communication expenses.



[Jinyeong/Minister of Public Administration and Security: I think it has meaning.

To benefit the whole people only for communication expenses...

.]



Lee Ho-seung, senior economics at the Blue House, appeared on the radio today and said, "If you are a family of 4 people with junior high school students or older, you will save 80,000 won in communication expenses."



[Lee Ho-Seung/Cheong Wa Dae Economic Leader (CBS Radio Appearance): Is it such a support for Ju or Mana?

From the point of view of the general public, who have to pay monthly communication fees.]



On the other hand, the people's strength has set the day as support with sincerity.



Although the total budget reaches 930 billion won, it does not help boost economic vitality, but only burdens the finances.



[Kim Jong-in/Chairman of the People's Strength Hypertrophy: I don't think it's time to manage approval ratings by sprinkling 20,000 won for all the national communications.] The



Justice Party also requested reconsideration.



[Shim Sang-jung/CEO of Justice Party: The public is accepting it as waste of sincerity.

We repeatedly ask you to reconsider.] In addition,



there is controversy that the government has set up a call center operating budget of about KRW 1 billion for communication cost consultation.



In the midst of this tug-of-war, the two parties could not agree on when to hold a plenary meeting with the Special Committee on Budget and Accounts to deal with the 4th supplementary bill.



The Democratic Party is confronting the public's power to take a closer look even after the Chuseok holiday, when it is handled at the plenary session this Friday for payment before the Chuseok holiday.
