Jeong Yura: "If It Were Another Country, It Would Be Martial Law or Something, They'd Flip Over the Budget Proposal"

Choi Seo-won (formerly Choi Soon-sil)'s daughter, Jung Yoo-ra, claimed on the 7th regarding next year's budget, "If this were another country, it would be martial law or something; before the president could even take action, the country would have been turned upside down just by looking at the budget."

On the same day, Jung posted on her social media (SNS), "If Lee Jae-myung (Democratic Party of Korea) takes power, it will be worse than this, and it will be more severely damaged than the national debt increase during former President Moon Jae-in's administration," making these claims.

Jung said, "Advanced countries including the United States are investing in nuclear power plants, but we are cutting the budget and allocating it to solar energy," adding, "Nuclear power development is lagging behind other countries, and these things accumulate one by one, so when you come to your senses, you become a developing country."

She continued, "Local gift certificates amount to 700 billion won. This is typical populism," and said, "Even if 2.5 million people oppose it, they push it through with 180 seats. This is dictatorship; what dictatorship? This is the first step toward communization."

She also questioned, "Why is an airport needed in Saemangeum?" and added, "They are cutting the defense budget and reducing support for ordinary citizens to invest in building the Saemangeum airport. Do they think this is normal?"

Jung said, "With a budget like this, how can they run the government?" and added, "They just throw it out saying 'I don't care,' and since no one can say no, it has come to this state."
