When the party’s senior administration decided to selectively pay for the second disaster support fund on the 6th, the assessment came off the passport that the Blue House and Gyeongnam Governor Kim Kyung-soo showed consistent movement. This is because, as at the time of the first disaster support payment, during the second disaster support debate, the governor closest to President Moon Jae-in, Kim, and the Blue House displayed almost similar positions. .
The Blue House has maintained its position that “prevention comes first” even in the dispute over the second payment of disaster aid in the ruling party. Disaster Support Payments and the Fourth Supplemental Administration have focused their efforts on quarantine.
Governor Kim held a similar view. Governor Kim, who insisted on universal payments at the time of the first disaster subsidy payment, took a cautious view and emphasized the debate on “pre-disaster prevention and post-disaster subsidies.”
On the 23rd of last month, when the controversy over the second disaster subsidy was on fire, Governor Kim said: “If the subsidy is paid, many people have no choice but to go out and consume it. In the current situation of the crown, such an atmosphere will surely make quarantine difficult. ” did. He stressed that “now, instead of discussing disaster subsidies, we must prevent large-scale spread and focus on quarantine.”
Unfortunately, the party’s senior administration held on the afternoon of the same day also suspended the discussion on disaster subsidies, saying: “Quarantine is a critical step.” Two days later, on the 25th, a key member of the Blue House also met with reporters and said: “With regard to disaster grants, I would like to emphasize that now is the time to focus on quarantine. This is the position of the Blue House. “It was quite different from Gyeonggi Governor Lee Jae-myeong’s claim for the second disaster support fund of 300,000 won per person at the same time.
Governor Kim and Governor Lee addressed disaster grants from the ‘Thursday Dialogue’ held in July chaired by Prime Minister Chung Sye-gyun, “a bold way to halt the economic decline by seeing financial gains” (Governor Lee), “(Corona) When a difficult situation similar to the second pandemic arrives, it is correct to review it” (Governor Kim).
Governor Kim insisted on the universal disaster support payment as much as Governor Lee did at the time of the first disaster support payment. Governor Kim suggested on March 8, at the time of the disaster grant debate, that “there is no time to waste time and administrative expense selecting those who are eligible for support.” “Let us provide 1 million won in basic disaster income to all citizens.” At that time, the Blue House decided to pay the national disaster support fund despite fierce opposition from the chief of policy, Kim Sang-jo, Vice Premier Hong Nam-ki and the Minister of Strategy and Finance. In the passport, words circulated that the ‘Governor Kim Gyeong-soo effect’ appeared.
In this regard, a passport official said: “Unlike the first time, public opinion for selective payments was higher this time” and said: “We will keep pace with public opinion, like Governor Kim, House Blue”. Other officials also said, “Governor Lee Jae-myeong is insisting on universal payments in accordance with his philosophy, but the Party Administration has not had any other disagreements on selective payments from the beginning.”
