The fourth extrapolation got caught up in ‘communication costs’ … In the end, we left the conclusion to both parties.

Last minute trial by National Assembly preliminary decision … ‘Execution before Chuseok crossing’

Already “Support for the national team + flu vaccine”
The ruling party that paid “professional” is difficult
If we don’t reach an agreement in the morning
Failure of the plenary session, the burden of public opinion criticism

The ruling and opposition parties held a supplementary drafting subcommittee of the Special Committee on Budget and Liquidation of the National Assembly on the 21st to begin the final coordination of the 4th supplementary (additional) budget plan for the affected sector of the crown 19, but suffered a last minute pain. On this day, the opposition parties are running a parallel line on whether it is “payment of 20,000 won for all national communication expenses” or “free vaccination for all national influenza vaccines.” In the end, the conclusion was left to the decision of discussion between the secretaries of the preliminary decision and opposition committees and the internal leadership. Whether or not to “enforce an additional bill before Chuseok” was also at a crossroads depending on the results of the agreement between the opposition parties.

The ruling and opposition parties maintained a supplemental coordinating subcommittee throughout the day and began examining the final supplemental bill. However, the “payment of 20,000 won for communication expenses for the whole country”, which was allocated a budget of 92.9 billion won, continues to hold back.

Additionally, Democratic Party lawmakers insisted that support for telecommunications costs would benefit households. Representative Park Hong-geun, Democratic Party Secretary to the Preliminary Committee, said at a meeting: “60% of people use a low-cost rate plan and (c) use the dataset themselves, and there are an additional billing burden, causing a decrease in non-contact activities. ” It’s a tough budget, so please reflect it. “

The power of the people refuted that the dissemination of Corona 19 did not generate an increase in communication costs. Representative Choo Gyeong-ho, secretary of the People’s Power of the Preliminary Committee, argued that “statistics show that per capita communication costs have decreased as roaming abroad has decreased and free Wi-Fi has increased.” Representative Chung Chan-min said, “There are many people who do not have the price of ramen, rice, and transportation costs of tens of thousands of won, but replacing this with communication costs does not match the goal of the supplementary administration. “. The power of the people said that instead of paying the communication fee, it was recommended to increase the amount of free vaccination for the entire national influenza vaccine, support for corporate taxi workers and the expansion of special child care goals .

When no conclusion was reached, Gong was handed over to a discussion between the leaders of the ruling and opposition parties and the secretaries of the preliminary committee. It is reported that the Popular Forces suggested a plan to reduce the cost of communication as “selection support” and put it on free vaccination against influenza. Currently, it is estimated that only tens of billions of won are insured, even if budget lines other than the communication cost payment plan are reduced. However, it is known that the Democratic Party has already declared payment to the entire population by President Moon Jae-in and Lee Nak-yeon.

Depending on whether the results of the disputes between the two parties are announced on the morning of the 22nd, it is expected that the plenary session will be determined to process the 4th complementary bill. First, both opposition parties are reported to have taken up their views that “the execution must be done before Chuseok.” If a deal fails, both the ruling and opposition parties will face public criticism. How the ruling and opposition parties adjust the bill to pay for communication costs is the key to executing the supplemental bill before Chuseok.
