[정치]What is the communication cost of 20,000 won …

[앵커]

In this fourth supplemental bill, the communication fee of 20,000 won, which the ruling party emphasized giving to all citizens, has been changed to only be given to some age groups.

In the end, it was concluded with a selective payment, and the controversy still remains about the effectiveness of its effectiveness, and the back and forth attitude of the Democratic Party on whether it is part or all is criticized.

One of the key elements left in the supplemental fourth draft is the company to pay 20,000 won for communication expenses.

Furthermore, the Democratic Party has vastly withdrawn from giving it to the young, the young and the old from the pay of all citizens.

When the government office first decided on the payment plan for communication expenses, it was a principle of selective payment, saying that it would support the necessary class.

However, the situation got complicated when the leader of the Democratic Party, Lee Nak-yeon, met with President Moon Jae-in and requested a lump sum payment for all the people.

The Democratic Party resorted to paying a lump sum, but the opposition parties gathered their mouths and screamed for a full cut, followed by a boring tug of war.

The opposition party raised the question of effectiveness intensely, saying that the total budget for communication expenses is close to 1 trillion won, but the money returned to individual citizens is only 20,000 won.

[주호영 / 국민의힘 원내대표 (지난 15일) : 통신비 지급 철회라든지 몇가지 문제들이 해결되지 않으면 국민들이 동의하지 않을 것이라는 말씀 드리겠습니다.] [최강욱 / 열린민주당 대표 (지난 15일) : 취약계층에게 두텁게 지원하자는 취지에 어긋날 뿐만 아니라, 보편적 지원이라는 측면에서도 실질적인 효과가 의심스럽고….]

Finally, the opposition parties, which had been strongly at odds, mustered their will by reflecting the reduction, but criticism is emerging about whether they insisted on supporting communications spending for the Democratic Party.

This is because, contrary to the original purpose of supporting the public, whose communication cost burden has increased due to the Corona 19 crisis, many people in their 30s and 40s who would have increased communication expenses due to working since home, etc., have been excluded from support.

Here, it is pointed out that the principle of selective support for communication expenses was shaken by Lee Nak-yeon’s suggestion, and that the part that showed uproar afterwards was also inappropriate for the ruling party.
