[Asia Economy Reporter Lee Ji-eun] As the ruling party, government, and Blue House decided to allocate a total of 3.4 trillion won in contingency funds to respond to the novel coronavirus (Wuhan pneumonia), the New Conservative Party criticized the move, saying it is just "throwing away tax money."

On the 5th, Kwon Seong-ju, spokesperson for the New Conservative Party, stated in a commentary, "Even though expanding the entry ban to the entire territory of China would not be enough, the government is failing to take essential measures and is blindly throwing away taxpayers' money."

He pointed out, "Although Wuhan pneumonia has already spread not only throughout China but also worldwide, our government's response remains slow and misguided," adding, "The incompetent amateur administration, distracted by protecting crimes at the Blue House, has no choice but to be cautious of China."

He continued, "While unable to block the virus without a vaccine, the government is just pouring tax money into a bottomless pit," and criticized, "The government should immediately stop being cautious of China and expand the entry ban to cover the entire territory of China."
