The Democratic Party's Joint Brigade Chairman Yun Ho-jung proposed a reception meeting to discuss the retroactive application of compensation for small business owners to President Yoon Seok-yeol.
Chairman Yoon said, "Let's hold a meeting between the opposition and the opposition parties to discuss ways to implement the promise of retroactive application made by the president during the election," said Chairman Yoon at a rally to support the candidates for the by-election held today (28th) in front of the Cultural Center in Boryeong-si, Chungcheongnam-do. Let's open it," he urged.
In addition, he emphasized, "Tomorrow (29th), the schedule for the first half of the National Assembly will be over."
Yesterday, the ruling and opposition parties continued to discuss the second supplementary budget, but failed to reach an agreement.
The position of the Democratic Party is tense that the power of the people that the payment of up to 10 million won in compensation for losses is equivalent to the retroactive application and the 8 trillion won in the retroactive application budget should be separately reflected.
President Yoon expressed his regret at the failure of negotiations between the ruling and opposition parties yesterday, saying, "I kept the office until 8 pm to see if the supplementary budget bill would be processed."
The ruling and opposition parties have scheduled a plenary session for this evening to deal with the supplementary budget, but the passage of the supplementary budget is uncertain today because the negotiation schedule has not actually been set.
