The National Assembly today (eleventh) receives the fourth KRW 7.8 trillion supplementary bill and begins to seriously examine it.
The Democratic Party is in a position to quickly filter it with the aim of passing it on the 18th, but the force of the people has heralded a comprehensive review, saying the controversial budget of ‘all support for the people’s communication expenses’ should be corrected.

Since the ruling and opposition parties intend to pay before Chuseok, the National Assembly’s review schedule is tight, right?
[기자]Today’s National Assembly (11) is taking over from the government the fourth supplemental bill following the re-proliferation of Corona 19 and is entering a full-scale review.
Given that the representatives of both the Democratic Party and the Popular Forces agreed to accelerate the fourth supplementary bill, it is expected that the National Assembly’s review schedule will proceed with rigor.
On Monday the 14th, starting with Prime Minister Jeong Sye-gyun’s speech on the correction, the corresponding standing committee and the Special Committee on Budget and Accounts will review the supplementary bill for about a week.
Since the Democratic Party has been discussing the supplemental administration with the government so far, it has vowed to focus on checking for blind spots in the parliamentary review process.
Let’s listen to the statements of internal representative Kim Tae-nyeon.
[김태년 / 더불어민주당 원내대표 : 민주당은 국회 심사 과정에서 혹여 더 보완해야 할 점은 없는지 그물망을 더 촘촘하게 짜야 할 일은 없는지 철저하게 점검하도록 하겠습니다.]Of the total budget of 7.8 billion won, half of the budget goes to supporting small business owners and the self-employed.
If it is just above the sales cap, the Democratic Party will fill the gap in support as there are equity concerns due to a lack of support for crown damage.
The Democratic Party is in a position to pass the fourth supplementary bill by holding a “One Point” plenary session starting on the 18th and at the latest on the 22nd.
However, even if the pre-Chuseok disaster support payment is paid smoothly with the cooperation of the opposition party, the government’s concerns about the effect of the support will remain.
This is because if step 2.5 of social distancing around the metropolitan area continues over a long period of time, the degree of consumption reduction will increase even more and the effect of the secondary disaster support fund may be negligible.
[앵커]In this support countermeasure, the “20,000 won support for all national communications” is particularly controversial.
Isn’t it expected to act as a variable in complementary processing?
[기자]People Power predicted a comprehensive review, saying it will correct the communication cost support policy in the preliminary committee review process.
The ruling government party said it will support communication costs as the amount of communication is high due to remote teleworking, but communication costs are generally flat, so the increase in remote work does not increase the costs of communication.
It means that the policy itself is wrong and there is no supporting effect.
[주호영 / 국민의힘 원내대표 : 통신비는 정액제 때문에 늘지 않았음에도 불구하고 이렇게 돈을 효과가 없이 헛되게, 도덕적 해이, 재정적 해이가 여실히 드러난 이런 걸 하고 있습니다.]During the budget review process, you expressed your willingness to reduce or adjust the budget to support communication costs.
As the Justice Party also pointed out, the communication cost support budget amounting to 900 billion won will be intact for the telecommunications company and the effect of boosting consumption will be less.
As criticism of the opposition party’s policies continues, it is noteworthy whether the government’s ruling party’s communication cost support budget can pass as the original plan.
