[Park Beom-seok/Chairman of the National Assembly: I declare that the amendment to the first supplementary budget for 2022 has been approved.] The supplementary supplementary budget that the opposition and opposition parties passed



today (21st) after much labor is worth 16.9 trillion won.



It was a net increase of 2.9 trillion won from the previous government plan, which was 14 trillion won.



First, we decided to pay 3 million won in quarantine support to 3.32 million small business owners and self-employed people.



An emergency employment security fund is provided to special employment workers, including teachers and caddies, and 1.5 million won each to corporate taxi drivers and route bus drivers.



The two parties, which had opposed the amount of support for small businesses with 3 million won per person and 10 million won for the people, repeatedly negotiated and declared a breakdown from the morning, and finally reached an agreement late in the evening.



The 'Small Business Protection and Support Act', which provides substantial support to small business owners who have suffered losses due to the corona virus, will be discussed after the election.



Instead, we plan to retroactively compensate for losses suffered by small business owners from February 2020 to July 6, 2021, and add travel and tourism industries or performance planning industries that were excluded from compensation for losses.



The president-elect, from either the opposition or the opposition, agreed to discuss with the government to come up with an additional support plan.



[Yun Ho-jung / Democratic Minority Leader: If we are elected, we will fully review even the parts promised by Candidate Yun Seok-yeol (People's Power) and embrace them as much as possible to support small business owners...

.]



[Kim Ki-hyeon/People’s Power Floor Leader: As promised, if candidate Yoon Seok-yeol is elected president, he will provide 50 trillion won in compensation for losses.]



With the passage of the supplementary budget bill, the payment of quarantine subsidies will begin within a few days .
