Song Young-gil, chairman of the Democratic Party of Korea, and Lee Jun-seok, leader of the People's Power, announced that they had agreed to pay all the people's disaster aid, but it was effectively overturned by the announcement of a correction by the opposition.



After the dinner meeting today (12th), the representatives of the two parties said they agreed to pay the national disaster aid as an additional budget through senior spokespersons of both parties, and decided to pursue the payment period after reviewing the quarantine situation.



Hwang Bo Seung-hee, senior spokesperson for the People's Power, said, "We have decided to increase support for small businesses and pay the entire nation's disaster relief funds." I decided to do it,” he explained.



Previously, the government had submitted to the National Assembly an additional budget plan to organize disaster aid for the bottom 80% of income earners. Since then, the Democratic Party leadership has formed an atmosphere that the payment standard should be expanded to more than 90%, and the power of the people is to support damage to small businesses.

Democratic presidential nominees also showed mixed positions, including comments of welcome and concern.



After that, the agreement on disaster aid was effectively overturned with the correction of the people's power about an hour and a half after the announcement by the chief spokesmen of both parties.



Spokesperson Hwangbo announced to reporters at around 9:40 pm tonight, "The content of the agreement today is to use the supplementary budget resources first to broaden the scope of compensation and broaden the scope of compensation for small business owners and the self-employed who have suffered losses."



“After that, if there is any remaining financial resources, we agreed to review whether it is necessary in consideration of the quarantine situation, including expanding the scope of payment of disaster aid from the bottom 80% of income to all citizens.”



The purpose was to agree to the payment of disaster aid for all citizens if there was any remaining financial resources after supporting small business owners.



CEO Lee also posted the same content on his SNS.
