government and the ruling party have decided to pay only 80% of the people in cash for the Corona disaster relief fund.

The scope of the disaster aid for recovery from the corona damage has been confirmed for the bottom 80% of income.



The Democratic Party, which has been demanding 'payment to the entire nation', has taken a step back from persuading the government to stick to '70% payment'.



Instead, we decided to support the remaining top 20% in the form of 'credit card cashback', in which a portion of the money is returned when you use a credit card more.



In addition, additional support will be provided to 3 million people with low income, such as the basic recipients and the second-income class.



[Park Wan-joo/President of the Democratic Party Policy Committee: It can be said that it is meaningful to support virtually all national subsidies following the first supplementary budget.] The



second supplementary budget that the party

government

decided to organize was compromised at 33 trillion won.



In terms of government spending, it is the largest ever.



If you add 3 trillion won to the already secured budget, 36 trillion won will be invested.



[Yun Ho-jung / Democratic Party floor leader: Still, the economic and employment situation for people's livelihood continues to be difficult. To stimulate domestic demand through consumption and to revitalize the economy of people's livelihood (for the purpose)... .]



In detail, 15~16 trillion won for three packages of support for COVID-19 damage including subsidies for small businesses, 4~5 trillion won for vaccine quarantine reinforcement, 2~3 trillion won for employment and livelihood safety support, 12~12~ for economic revitalization such as issuance of local gift certificates 13 trillion won is organized.



The government plans to submit the supplementary budget bill to the National Assembly on the 2nd of next month, and the Democratic Party plans to pass it in the provisional National Assembly next month.



While acknowledging the need for an additional budget in part, the People's Power insisted that selective support should be provided to the more affected classes, such as the self-employed and small business owners.
