In addition, the Democratic Party decided to deliver a clarified position sooner or later in response to inquiries about the local government's disaster subsidies by Gyeonggi Governor Lee Jae-myeong.
Democratic Party chief spokesman Choi In-ho said, "There was a confirmation of the letter sent by Governor Lee," at the closed supreme committee meeting presided over by Representative Lee Nak-yeon held today (18). ".
Governor Lee was scheduled to hold a press conference today with the main idea of distributing disaster basic income of 100,000 won to the entire population of Gyeonggi Province, but it was canceled yesterday.
Governor Lee said in a Facebook post, "As a member of the party, I requested the party's official position on whether or not the local government provides disaster assistance, how it is paid, and who is paid."
Earlier, there have been interpretations that differences in opinion within the party are widening, such as criticizing Gyeonggi-do's Disaster Subsidies Payment Policy as "an impatient policy" by Chief Commissioner Kim Jong-min.
