While Democratic Party Representative Lee Nak-yeon and Gyeonggi Governor Lee Jae-myeong, who are vying for first and second preference for the upcoming presidential elections, continue to disagree on the scope of the second emergency support fund. to disasters discussed to respond to Corona 19. On the political front, the war is gradually getting stronger.
On the surface, Lee, who is in charge of the ruling ruling party in power, is taking the lead in policymaking, with some observers saying that depending on how disaster subsidies are concluded in the future, there will be little impact on the race.
According to political circles on the 2nd, the government and ruling party leaders are gathering opinions that the subsidies from the second disaster should be paid first to the difficult class, but the governor still adheres to the position that they should be paid to the entire country.
Governor Lee said on his Facebook page the day before (first), who responded to comments from opposition party lawmakers who criticized his pre-disaster remarks of support as “a stupid story”, to Vice Premier Hong Nam -ki, who said: “Run away from the pride of knowing everything” I pointed out.
Governor Lee’s comments were directed at Vice Premier Hong, but as a result, they can be interpreted as directed at Representative Lee, who is in the same position as Vice Premier Hong, when it comes to paying disaster subsidies. On the same day, CEO Lee agreed to organize the fourth supplemental budget (additional budget) and selectively pay the second disaster grants in a meeting with Kim Jong-in, chairman of the Emergency Response Committee of the Future Integration Party.
President Kim said: “The position of the Unification Party is that the fourth supplementary administration should be carried out quickly, so that targeted support is provided to those in financial difficulties. “I think there will be no disagreements between the opposition parties because I also intend to run for the national team.”
As such, there are many analyzes that the difference in perspective between CEO Lee and Lee Governor’s economic policy is fueling the competition for power.
First, Governor Lee is in an active position that emergency disaster grants can function as a rehabilitation policy for the economy beyond supporting the vulnerable.
Governor Lee argues that “expanding consumer demand is the way to save the economy, and there is no reason to exclude only high-income people who paid a lot of taxes from the benefits of economic policies, not welfare policies. “, and argues that disaster subsidies should be used as a welcome point for economic revitalization.
On the other hand, CEO Lee said: “The original purpose of the system is to help those who are suffering the most disasters and suffering more quickly and deeply,” and believes that ‘pincers’ support is necessary for the vulnerable in place of economic revitalization.
When it comes to fiscal strength, arguments between CEO Lee and Governor Lee are sharply divided.
Representative Lee said, “At that time, we shifted our spending within the existing budget and took it out here and there, but now it’s completely exhausted. In general, it is consistent with the opinion of the Ministry of Finance, which says: “Keeping the granaries” should be taken much more seriously, as we have to go into debt for disaster assistance.
However, the governor said on his Facebook page that day: “If you only accept a 0.8% increase in the national debt, the effect of revitalizing the economy through supporting households, supporting sales and production support will surely be effective. He continued to criticize concerns about fiscal soundness.
Recently, as CEO Lee and Governor Lee, who are showing a close battle over the position of the next presidential candidate in preference to the next presidential candidate in various opinion polls, continue to have a clear difference of position on a specific issue, there is also draw attention to the outcome of this disaster support game.
For now, there is a high possibility that the second disaster grant will be concluded in the direction in which Lee, who will soon take the lead in political decisions through consultations with the ruling ruling party in power, as leader of the ruling party in the power.
The government also believes that it will be difficult to pay citizens if they return disaster subsidies focused on Vice Premier Hong. Even within the party, opinions are gathered in such a way that support is focused on those who fight.
For this reason, it is noted that if the ‘Nak Yeon-pyo Lee’ disaster subsidy performs as the current trend, CEO Lee will win the decision against Governor Lee in this political confrontation.
On the other hand, although this governor belongs to the ruling party, he is somewhat outside the political structure due to his status as head of a regional local government.
Therefore, it is difficult to exert influence beyond personal argumentation, but on the one hand, thanks to this free position, there is also the advantage of being able to make active political arguments and in the end be free from political responsibility.
In particular, as the issue of disaster subsidies is partly in line with the traditional concept of selective welfare-universal welfare of the conservative-progressive camp, the governor can naturally take the position of a “universal welfareist” first in the debate with Read. to have.
Moving forward, he is laying the groundwork to bring a relatively light and progressive color compared to CEO Lee in terms of economic and welfare policies in the future career.
An official in the passport said: “It seems that opinions are divided on the issue of temporary disaster subsidies, but in fact, a miniature version of the presidential power competition with the concept of welfare is developing in the future. “. “The result (according to the decision of the party administration) is the first starting point of the race. This will be different,” he predicted.
