News summary on the way home from work, Subsletter Evening.

government and the ruling party announced that they would spend 20 trillion won on the 'Comprehensive Youth Measures' while planning next year's budget.

There is also a provision to lend the monthly rent interest-free.

Regardless of the opposition, youth policies are pouring in as election promises.

Have the voices of the MZ generation finally reached the political arena?

annual income of 50 million won or less The government announced that it will provide interest-free monthly rent to young people with an annual income of 50 million won or less as one of the youth policy next year. He also said he would raise the salary of military service members to 670,000 won from the current 609,000 won. He also said that he would create a social rehabilitation fund that could raise up to 10 million won when he was discharged from the military. It's still in the early stages of budgeting, so the specifics will be revealed gradually.

The proportion of the 2030 generation among all voters continues to decrease due to the decline in the birth rate of the

. In the 2017 presidential election, it was only 35%. In the past, it has exceeded 50%. However, through the re-election of the mayor of Seoul and Busan, it was confirmed that the 2030 generation had the casting boat. It means you can't win the election if you don't win the heart of 2030. That is why the promises made by the presidential candidates of the ruling and opposition parties to the youth are also splendid. I'll just summarize what has been announced so far.

1 million won per year, basic income for young people, part of basic housing is given first to young people

30 million won to start society when discharged from military service

a savings account for newborns and 100 million won when they turn 20 This accumulating future seed bankbook

3 sabbatical years including youth, paid 1 million won per month

1 year youth sabbatical after 7 years of service

Trust 30 million won when you are born and give 60 million won when you turn 20

Interest-free loan of 100 million won for young people who have completed mandatory service, 3 years of parental leave compulsory

20 million won at the age of 18 Education card, low-interest loan of 150 million won for single-person households from low-income households In

the Power of the People, where the presidential bus departs later than the Democratic Party, many candidates including Yoon Seok-yeol and Hong Jun-pyo have yet to announce their youth pledges.

Many candidates have a policy of giving money directly to young people. Some scholars warn that such a policy could undermine young people's autonomy. We need to establish a job policy rather than money. On the other hand, there are many opinions that the promise of cash is because young people are desperately needed. Anyway, it is certain that this election will have more 'youth policies' than any other presidential election.

Pusan ​​National University has decided to cancel the admission to the medical school of Min Jo, the daughter of former Justice Minister Cho Kuk,

. Although it was concluded that forged documents such as Dongyang University citations did not have any particular effect on admission, the admission guidelines caught Jo's ankle. This is because there was a notice in the admissions guide that if you submit false documents, your admission will be cancelled. Pusan ​​National University announced that today's decision is a preliminary administrative disposition and that the final decision will be made two or three months after the hearing process.

Ministry of Health and Welfare announced that it would take the procedure for revoking Mr. This is because Article 5 of the Medical Act stipulates that in order to obtain a doctor's license, you must have graduated from a medical school or medical school.

Pusan ​​National University left the possibility of making a decision again in that case. However, the Supreme Court does not examine whether the documents submitted by Mr. Cho are forgery, as the Supreme Court does not examine whether the law has been properly applied or not (the trial court), not the facts (factual trial). Therefore, it was virtually confirmed in the second trial that the documents that Cho submitted at the time of admission were forgery. It is unlikely that the Supreme Court will overturn it.

Korea University, where Cho was an undergraduate, also formed a committee and started discussing it. Korea University will make a decision after reviewing the ruling, but I've been told that Cho's admissions materials have been discarded. It is difficult to predict at present what kind of decision Korea University will make in the absence of data.

If the cancellation of admission to Pusan ​​National University is confirmed, you can check whether the cancellation decision is legal through an administrative lawsuit.

The People's Power expelled Rep. Han Moo-kyung (proportional representative) from among the 12 lawmakers who were suspected of speculation in real estate by themselves or their family, and recommended that lawmakers Kang Ki-yoon, Lee Joo-hwan, Lee Cheol-gyu, Jeong Chan-min, and Choi Chun-sik leave the party. However, the remaining 6 members (Hee-sook Yoon, Byung-gil Ahn, Seok-jun Song, Seung-soo Kim, Dae-soo Park, and Jun-young Bae) decided not to take issue with it. I decided that it was not my problem or that my calling was sufficient.

This is what CEO Jun-seok Lee said. The Democratic Party recommended that two proportional representatives out of 12 lawmakers leave the party and the remaining 10 members leave the party. However, five people, including Rep. Woo Sang-ho, refused to leave the party. Rep. Woo and Rep. Seo Young-seok, who had been reported to have left the party, were acquitted in the police investigation. The Democratic leadership was embarrassed. The People's Power also seems to have referenced this case of the Democratic Party. There are loopholes in the Anti-Corruption and Civil Rights Commission investigation, and it is unreasonable to accept it as it is. Instead, by throwing the precipitation of 'expulsion of one person', the promise of 'a stronger measure than the Democrats' was kept to some extent.

Open Democratic Party also criticized the ACRC's investigation result that "there is a suspicion that Rep. Kim Eui-gyeom used his official secret to invest in the Heukseok-dong building" as "formal and irresponsible". Rep. Kim's explanation was correct and no further action was taken. The ACRC has lost a lot of face since then.

The Ministry of Justice has confirmed that the online legal service 'Rotok', which is being attacked by lawyers, does not violate the Law on Lawyers Act. It is illegal to introduce a lawyer for money, but it is legal because it is a platform that places advertisements for lawyers. The Ministry of Justice has taken the position that the LoTalk service is beneficial to legal consumers. On the other hand, the Korean Bar Association is warning that lawyers registered here will be disciplined, saying that LoTalk is an illegal service. Although it looks like an advertisement on the outside, the lawyers are effectively subordinated to RoTalk, so it's like intermediary for money. The Ministry of Justice has come forward to mediate the conflict between the two, but it hasn't been going very well so far.

end, our country became like this. In the past week, 99.1% of new confirmed cases in Korea are those with a delta mutation. If you look at countries where the delta mutation is the dominant species, such as the United States and the United Kingdom, even if the vaccination rate increases, if you do not take preventive measures such as wearing a mask, the number of confirmed cases will continue to increase. It's getting harder and harder to take off the mask.

"

." This is the theme of the opening ceremony of the 2020 Tokyo Paralympic Games, which starts today. The organizing committee explained that the Paralympic athletes have the meaning of 'not only when the wind blows but also when the headwind blows, they can use that power to move forward'.
