[Asia Economy Reporter Lim Chun-han] On the 7th, the People Power Party criticized, "The Democratic Party of Korea is tinkering with a fourth emergency disaster relief fund tailored for the April election," and said, "The third emergency disaster relief fund has not even been distributed yet. Is governance a child's play?"

People Power Party spokesperson Bae Jun-young said in a statement that day, "The Democratic Party talks about the fourth emergency disaster relief fund while claiming to care for the people. It is hypocrisy," adding, "This is not a relief fund for the people but a fund for the regime to win the April election."

Spokesperson Bae pointed out, "When the People Power Party proactively proposed the second and third emergency disaster relief funds last year and discussed the vaccine purchase budget, the government and ruling party opposed it citing fiscal soundness," and continued, "But suddenly, just before the election, proposing to give out relief funds is essentially a declaration of a money politics election. It means buying votes with money."

Spokesperson Bae also said, "Populism of nationwide support has been brought up again. Is this forgetfulness driven by desire?" and added, "It was just the other day that they raised the banner of nationwide communication fee support but turned back after facing public backlash."
