The party government has entered Django on the possibility of withdrawing support for communications expenses older than 13 years, which has become the biggest problem in handling the 4th supplementary budget of the National Assembly. If the policy is pushed forward, the resolution of the agreement between the two parties will be invaded, but if they surrender, the leadership of President Moon Jae-in and Lee Nak-yeon, along with representatives of the Democratic Party, may be damaged.
The government is reviewing an alternative plan (Plan B), such as expanding free flu vaccines and paying secondary and high school student care fees as a budget to support communications expenses, but it is not easy to draw conclusions due to the different arguments in the passport.
Instead of free vaccination, middle and high school student care payments are ‘influence card’
According to political circles on the 20th, the party government reviewed the opposition party’s proposal to reduce the total budget of 928.9 billion won to pay 20 thousand won for communication to 46 million citizens aged 13 and over and use it for free vaccination of the national flu vaccine. I got off.
A government official said: “Because you have to order and manufacture a flu vaccine several months in advance, it is not possible to do it right away,” said a government official. It doesn’t seem necessary. ”
Instead, the government is proactively examining alternative plans to expand the target for special care spending (200,000 won per person) for primary school and primary and secondary school students. The opposition party is also not opposed to increasing the number of targets for special care spending. However, the opposition party is in a position to use the budget to support communication costs, while the passport prefers to invest an additional budget.
A passport official said: “If the child care support target is increased, more discussion is needed with the opposition party on how to cover the budget,” he said. “However, we are not currently considering a plan to reduce the amount of support for communication expenses and increase child care expenses.” said.

Difficulty to erase communication costs … Possibility of handling passports alone
The reason the party government cannot easily withdraw support for communication costs is that the new representative of the ruling party formulated this policy in an agreement with the president. President Moon Jae-in also said, “(Support for communication expenses) is a small consolation and sincerity from the government” in response to Lee Nak-yeon’s proposal to support communication expenses to the public.
If a policy agreed by the party’s chief executive is withdrawn, the regime’s leadership may be damaged. It is not irrelevant in this context that Lee Ho-seung, the economic director of the Blue House, expressed his intention to promote the policy, saying: “It is difficult to understand”, although public opinion spoke against the policy of support of communication costs.
However, the Open Democratic Party, which is listed as pan-passport, opposes the implementation of this policy, and the opposition is on the rise, so there are observations that the Party may change the contents of the project by reducing the support target.
In this case, the concern is where to use the remaining budget. It is estimated that a budget of 540 billion won will be required if 200,000 won are paid to 2.9 million middle and high school students. Reducing the communication spending target to the current level of 40% can secure the relevant budget.
On the other hand, there are also observations that the ruling party will proceed with the fourth supplemental bill on the 22nd to keep its promise to pay the subsidies before Chuseok if the agreement between the parties to support communication expenses fails. A government official said: “To pay for disaster grants before Chuseok, the National Assembly must pass the supplemental bill on the 22nd at the latest.
