Lee Hyung-seok, Democratic Party Supreme Council Member, "United Party Must Cooperate in Providing Nationwide Disaster Relief Funds"

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters, Reporter Yoon Jamin] Lee Hyung-seok, Supreme Council Member of the Democratic Party of Korea, urged the United Future Party to cooperate across party lines so that all citizens can receive the 'Emergency Disaster Relief Fund.'

At the 234th Supreme Council meeting of the Democratic Party held on the 22nd, Supreme Council Member Lee said, "The meeting between the floor leaders of the ruling and opposition parties to discuss the Emergency Disaster Relief Fund has been repeatedly canceled due to the denial by Sim Jae-cheol, floor leader of the United Future Party," adding, "This is a very regrettable reality."

He emphasized, "Above all, the most important thing now is to revive the struggling economy due to COVID-19," and argued, "The key is the timing of the Emergency Disaster Relief Fund payment. The supplementary budget bill should be processed by the end of this month at the latest, so that all citizens can receive the Emergency Disaster Relief Fund by early next month."

He continued, "I hope the United Future Party will keep their election pledge made during the general election period to provide 500,000 won of Emergency Disaster Relief Fund to all citizens."
