Vice Premier Hong Nam-ki expressed his appreciation on the 3rd in response to the ruling party’s policy of maintaining the current standard for the 1 billion won stock transfer tax. Cheong Wa Dae and the ruling party went straight to “dalraegi”, but he did not bow.
The government revised the Execution Decree of the Income Tax Law in 2018 and, as of March next year, decided to determine that a stock is the largest shareholder if it owns more than 300 million won within the reach of related persons. . However, the so-called “Donghak ant” and other minority shareholders backfired, and eventually a petition appeared for the Blue House to remove Vice Premier Hong. In the end, the government office recently established a policy of “keeping current (deferred government plan)” and left only the official announcement.

He said: “I saw that the government should act in accordance with the previously announced policy in terms of fiscal equity on income from assets,” he said. “However, in a government meeting of a high-ranking party, there is a situation where the uncertainties in the global situation and the economy are increasing together, so it is worth one billion won. I decided to keep it.”
“Of course, I presented a dissenting opinion that it was undesirable. However, I can tell you that the senior party administration decided to keep 1 billion won in a broader framework, so that it remains the same.” I would like to say that today I sent a letter of resignation with an expression of gratitude because I want someone to adopt a responsible attitude for the development of the situation. “
Representative Jeong Il-young, who continued to investigate, also felt a bit embarrassed. He said: “All of a sudden, talking about the Deputy Prime Minister, it’s surprising and regrettable,” he said. “In tough times like Corona 19, we led positive growth of 1.9% in the third quarter, and we have budget deliberations starting tomorrow … Suddenly … I am so sorry. Vice Premier Hong added:” expressed my gratitude, but there is a preliminary committee starting tomorrow and, as minister of the ministry, I will work passionately on the budget deliberation. ”
Shortly after his remarks, Blue House spokesman Kang Min-seok said: “Vice Premier Hong Nam-ki expressed his gratitude to the president right after today’s cabinet meeting, but the president immediately reconfirmed after Being rejected”. The Democratic Party also made a comment under the name of Chief Spokesperson Choi In-ho, Buryaburya, and tried to correct the situation, saying: “I understand (the company’s expression) as the release of Vice Premier Hong Nam from responsibility. -ki, who has been following the standard for the majority shareholder on the stock transfer tax. “
However, Vice Premier Hong Nam-ki replied: “I did not hear the news of the president’s resignation because he was coming to the National Assembly.” In addition, “I expressed my gratitude and I believe that it is correct to do everything possible to carry out the position until the successor comes,” he repeatedly maintained the position of ‘I will retire’.

In a sudden situation, the ruling party members of the committee could not hide their embarrassment. Representative Kim Doo-gwan said: “We Vice Premier Hong Nam-ki have suffered a lot, but I am also very ashamed and regretful for speaking of such a position during this severe period. Representative Yang Kyung-sook said, “There may be a lot of distress and dissatisfaction, but the report that the president rejected (the resignation) appears to be true. If so, I order you to work harder with a more sense of mission.” told Vice Premier Hong.
On the other hand, Representative Dong-min Lee told Vice Premier Hong: “Very irresponsible treatment” and “more seriously, he could be misunderstood as an established politician.” In addition, he said, “there is a 555 trillion won budget, there is a public welfare problem such as real estate, and crown prevention is not over.” Is the attitude of a responsible public official to give? ”He exclaimed.
Representative Ryu Seong-geul said, “I think Hong’s attitude of taking responsibility is very good, and I think I also had a lot of problems with the presentation format.” However, he said, “What kind of belief is that (Vice Premier Hong’s expression of gratitude) and whether such an assessment will come out later?” He said: “I think there is a responsibility to prevent this situation from happening.”
Justice Party lawmaker Jang Hye-young criticized the government and the ruling party. He asked Vice Premier Hong, “Isn’t it a very cowardly decision for the government office to conclude the majority shareholder requirement at 1 billion won?” “It was a project that was gradually expanded by passing the National Assembly through this government’s legislation in 2017, but both political coherence and credibility were damaged,” he said. “If the Deputy Prime Minister for the Economy dies, I would like to resign before the budget deliberation.”
Vice Premier Hong replied: “There have been various discussions in the party administration” and “It is not possible to express such cowardice as a congressman.” However, “I do not agree to a large extent, but it is not a situation that I can do by myself, but it is discussed in the great framework of the party administration, but I want to follow it,” and revealed that the ‘keep the requirements current for large shareholders’ was meager until the end.
