This is the next news.

After the meeting between President Moon Jae-in and President-elect Yoon Seok-yeol, the tangled thread may have been loosened, but subtle differences in positions are still being detected on issues.

Reporter Eom Min-jae discussed by issue whether it would be possible to relocate the office before taking office, and when and how much additional budget will be available to compensate for the corona loss.

As of now, the plan of the elected president to go to the Yongsan Oval Office to coincide with the inauguration of the President on May 10 is unclear.

The elected officials believe that at least 40 to 50 days are needed to relocate to the Yongsan Ministry of National Defense.

Even if you prepare in advance, the transfer cost problem should be sorted out as soon as possible.

The president-elect expressed expectations, saying, "As there was discussion at the meeting, we expect that the reserve funds for the relocation will be approved at the next week's cabinet meeting." ' We can cooperate only after taking a look," he stressed, emphasizing the three stages of planning, budget, and review.

Some even responded that the transfer costs announced by the transition committee became pieces of paper.

The president and the elected president both agreed on the need for a second supplementary budget to compensate for the loss of COVID-19, but the timing, size, and financial resources of the supplementary budget are still question marks.

The elected party announced that they would lower their expectations from the originally promised 50 trillion won.

“Even if it’s not 50 trillion won, it should be around 33 trillion won, minus 17 trillion won in the first supplementary budget at the beginning of the year.”

However, the Ministry of Strategy and Finance is still expressing disappointment, saying that it will not be possible to raise such an amount only by restructuring the existing budget expenditure claimed by the elected party without issuance of deficit government bonds.

In addition, as the current government is responsible for worsening fiscal soundness, it seems difficult to conclude the later consultations that were agreed upon during the meeting.
