[Asia Economy Reporter Lim Chun-han] On the 13th, the People Power Party stated regarding the "20,000 KRW nationwide communication fee payment," "What we want is not equality worth 20,000 KRW," adding, "We want equality of opportunity."

People Power Party spokesperson Bae Jun-young said in a commentary that "Various public suspicions such as former Minister Cho Kuk's 'dad chance' allegations, Minister Chu Mi-ae's 'mom chance' allegations, the Optimus case's 'wife chance' allegations, and the Ulsan election case's 'friend chance' allegations remain unresolved," and added, "Instead of trying to appease angry voters with a 20,000 KRW equality coupon, prove that the statement 'opportunity is equal' is true."

Spokesperson Bae said, "The government has decided to prepare the second disaster relief fund and the fourth supplementary budget as proposed by the People Power Party. It is said that all of this must be financed by issuing government bonds. Since this burdens future generations, the government must have set a principle to focus support on those severely affected," and criticized, "But now they are talking about a 20,000 KRW nationwide communication fee support."

Spokesperson Bae added, "Some may welcome it saying, 'Why 20,000 KRW in a bad harvest year with poor crops?' The total amounts to a whopping 1 trillion KRW," and explained, "With 1 trillion KRW, scholarships of 500,000 KRW per person could be given to all 1.99 million university students in Korea receiving low-quality education through remote classes. Next year's childcare service support fund is 250.3 billion KRW, but this amount could support dual-income couples four times more."

Spokesperson Bae said, "In the end, the 20,000 KRW will just be transferred to the accounts of large telecommunications companies," and warned, "The 1 trillion KRW will evaporate like gas before it even reaches people's hands."
