Gyeonggi Governor Lee Jae-myeong insisted, “In January next year, the third disaster grant should be paid equally to the entire population, between 200,000 won and 300,000 won per person in local currency.” Governor Lee announced on the 29th that he sent a text message on a mobile phone with the subject of ‘Appeal’ to the Democratic Party leadership and the legislator’s 174 members on the 28th via Twitter. He appealed saying: “The disaster of the new coronavirus infection (Corona 19) has devastated the economic crisis, threatening the lives of all people, and urgent and powerful measures are required.”

“Pay fair in local currency”

In a text message, Governor Lee said: “To implement policies to overcome the economic crisis and support difficult households, limited financial resources must be used in the most efficient way possible.” It is the first disaster support fund to be paid in local currency and has a time limit of three months. ”

Governor Lee also said: “However, after the second disaster grant was paid selectively in cash, household consumer spending declined by 1.4% and there was no sentiment, let alone sentiment of economic revitalization, which I felt when the first subsidy was paid. It only caused a feeling of deprivation and conflict and division of the people who were excluded from support or were eliminated from screening ”. He added, “It is enough to have trial and error,” he argued, saying, “At least a total of 1 million won per person must be paid for the third disaster grant, leaving a quarter of the disaster grant to pay.”

Earlier on the 27th, Governor Lee instructed Gyeonggi-do to consider a universal support plan that provides local currency to all Gyeonggi-do residents for the third government-sponsored disaster support fund. It is a measure based on the judgment that it is practically difficult to pay for the whole town. When the government’s third disaster grant is decided as a selective payment, it has expressed its willingness to universally pay a certain amount in local currency to all residents by investing local finances, just like when the basic income was paid for Gyeonggi-do disaster (100,000 won per person) in April.

“Keeping the promise of the metropolitan bus termination system”

Governor Lee also emphasized that the government should pay half of what was promised on the budget burden for the semi-public metropolitan bus service project, which is entrusted to the central government starting next year. He said at the expanded executive meeting chaired by the provincial governor on the 27th: “We raised the bus fare based on the state affairs of the metropolitan bus. Take him seriously by falling in love with him. ”
