Democratic Party's leadership said that 19 trillion won more tax is expected to be collected this year, and the fiscal authorities who failed to predict this are negligence of duty, and said that if there was an intention, it is a matter that should be investigated.

After a day of pressure from Democratic Party candidate Lee Jae-myung, who criticized Deputy Prime Minister Hong Nam-ki for making policy decisions far from reality, floor leader Yun Ho-jung continued his remarks.

At this time, the Democratic Party announced that it would promote the daily recovery subsidy of 200,000 won per person, expanded issuance of local currency, compensation for losses for small business owners, and 'three major packages' as additional tax revenue.



The opposition party also proposed a meeting of floor leaders on how to deal with the excess tax revenue of 19 trillion won, but it was clear that the people's power was the act of ticketing for the presidential election.



[Lee Man-hee / Secretary of the National Assembly Budget and Settlement Special Committee (People's Power): The so-called 'Lee Jae-myung Candidate Election Support' is opposed by 70% of the people.

In particular, we are facing controversy over violations of the election law and opposition from the government…

Blue House gave a principled response to a nerve war involving the ruling party, the financial authorities, and even the opposition parties.



Lee Cheol-hee, chief of political affairs, turned the ball to the National Assembly, saying, "It is not a matter for the Blue House to adjust."
