Budget tug-of-war until the 10th
All leaders in Noh said, “Local currency is the livelihood of the people.”
“No‍ additional negotiations without apology”

It is indeed expected ⁢that​ the ruling and opposition parties will continue their fierce ⁣tug-of-war for a week as the presentation ⁢of the budget ‌reduction revision bill passed by the Democratic Party of⁤ Korea alone at the National Assembly’s Budget ‌and Settlement Special​ Committee has been postponed ‌to the 10th. Starting on the ⁣2nd, the Democratic Party⁣ began insisting on‍ the need to ⁤increase the ⁤budget for ‘Lee⁤ Jae-myung’s local love gift certificates (local currency).’ The possibility ‍of negotiating an increase in budget⁢ was left open just three days after the budget reduction amendment was processed. In response to this, the People Power Party stated, ‍“There will be no further negotiations without an apology from ‍the Democratic Party.” The People’s Power Party’s position is that “we were hit‍ in the back in the budget negotiations”​ and‍ that ⁣there will be no ⁣further negotiations in ⁢the future without the⁢ Democratic Party’s withdrawal of the reduced budget plan and an⁣ apology.

● Noh emphasizes that “the real budget for people’s livelihood is ⁣local currency”

Democratic Party leaders unanimously emphasized the importance of local ​currency on this day. Local currency is a representative policy‌ that CEO​ Lee​ Jae-myung has been focusing ​on. The​ government​ set the local ‍currency budget at ‘0 won’, but the‌ Democratic Party, led by the opposition ⁤party, decided to increase it by 2‌ trillion won⁣ at the National Assembly public Administration‌ and security ⁤Committee, the relevant standing committee. ⁢On this day, the Democratic Party put up a banner for the chairman of the supreme Committee, ‌saying, ‘We will use ‌the 2 trillion won budget ‌for ‍local‌ love gift certificates​ as a catalyst for⁢ taking care of the people’s livelihood.’ At this meeting, Supreme Council Member ⁢Kim Byeong-ju​ argued, “I reiterate that the only solution to revitalizing alley commercial districts, wholesale and retail businesses, ⁤small and medium-sized businesses, and domestic demand is, of course, ⁢local ‌currency.” Supreme Council member jeon Hyun-hee⁣ also added, “If the President’s Office ⁤and the⁢ People Power party are sincere in their intention​ to save the people’s livelihood budget,⁢ agree to an increase ‌in local love gift certificates.” Representative Lee also ⁣said the day before,“We will try to increase the local currency budget,which is one of the‌ budget increases we are ‌most focused ‌on,as ⁢much as possible.”

Regarding this, people inside‌ and outside the party pointed out, “If you threaten to pass an ‌amendment to reduce the budget, ‍and then promptly talk ⁤about increasing Lee​ Jae-myung’s budget, won’t ⁢it be misunderstood that you pushed through an unreasonable reduction for the sake of ‍local currency?” In response to this, a key party official said, “we judged that it was urgent to reduce the special activity expenses of ⁣powerful organizations, so we gave up on increasing the much-needed budget,” and drew a​ line, saying, “The processing of the reduction​ plan has nothing to do with increasing local currency.”

●⁤ “No additional negotiations without‍ withdrawal of budget reduction plan”

the People Power party’s response to the Democratic Party’s push for a reduced budget ‌plan is ‌that thay were “hit ⁤in the ⁤back.” At the People Power Party’s general ⁢meeting held on this⁢ day, it was reported that there was also a criticism to ‌the effect that ‍’the party’s response ⁤was insufficient’ in response to ‍the Democratic Party’s push for ⁢a reduced ⁢budget.A re-elected lawmaker said, “The Democratic Party made a complete⁣ mistake,” and added, “There⁢ was an atmosphere ⁤that the democratic ​Party would ​push for a ​reduced ‍budget, but it ​is indeed problematic that they ‍were stabbed ⁣in the back.” A first-term lawmaker also said, “there was a‍ lot of talk about what to do ‌about ⁣the budget plan,” and added, “We decided to make more known the items that were cut from ​the people’s livelihood budget.” Rep. Koo Ja-geun,the⁢ ruling party’s secretary on the Budget and Budget Committee,said,”We were continuing to discuss increases and decreases⁤ with⁣ the opposition party at the Budget and Budget Committee,but Rep. Heo⁢ Young, the opposition party’s secretary, suddenly said, ‘We will pass the reduction bill,'” with the effect⁣ that “it would be unachievable without Representative Lee’s ​instructions.” ⁤He‌ said he explained the situation.

Floor leader Choo Kyung-ho met with reporters after the afternoon general meeting of lawmakers and said, “All lawmakers agreed on the position that we will not engage ⁢in additional budget negotiations unless the Democratic Party’s ​position, which declares a change in attitude, is confirmed,” adding, “We will maintain‍ that position and hold a meeting on December 10th.” “We will go⁤ as far as we can,” he said.

The democratic Party ⁢cut the budget for resolving‍ legislative conflicts by 93.112 billion ⁢won, including supporting salaries for majors, ​and cut the budget for child care allowances‌ by 38.4 billion won. The innovation growth​ fund to​ create an industrial ecosystem ‌was cut⁤ by 23.8 billion won,⁢ and the budget for college student work ⁣scholarship support was cut by 8.332 billion ⁣won. The Youth Work⁢ Experience‌ Project, which connects ⁤with companies so that young people ​can gain practical experience ​in ​the field, is KRW 4.6 billion, and the Asset Formation Support Project for Children from Vulnerable Classes, which provides support to children from ‍underprivileged classes to help ⁣them grow up and advance into society, is KRW 2.1 billion.

    Interview: The Battle Over the Budget – A Conversation with Political Analyst Dr. Ji-hoon Lee

    Time.news Editor: Thank you for joining us today, Dr. Lee. The ongoing budget negotiations have certainly sparked a heated debate in the National Assembly. What are your thoughts on⁢ the Democratic Party’s push⁤ to increase the budget for ⁣local⁢ currencies after initially supporting a budget reduction?

    Dr. Ji-hoon Lee: Thank you for having me. This tug-of-war​ is not just about numbers; it’s about political strategy and public perception. The democratic Party’s move to increase funding for local ‌currency—specifically Lee Jae-myung’s local love gift certificates—after advocating for a reduction, raises questions. Many see this shift as an opportunistic tactic rather than a genuine attempt to advocate for the public’s livelihood.

    Time.news Editor: That’s an interesting outlook. ⁢The ⁣Democratic Party⁣ emphasizes that local‍ currency is vital for the livelihood of the⁣ people. How do⁤ you perceive their argument ‌in this context?

    Dr. Ji-hoon Lee: While their intention to support local businesses and stimulate the economy through local currencies is commendable, it truly seems ​inconsistent. On one hand,they claim that​ local currency is a priority; on ⁤the other,they facilitated a budget reduction that affects various ⁤social ​programs. This inconsistency could ⁢alienate some voters who may interpret their actions as focusing more on political leverage than practicality.

    Time.news editor: The People Power Party seems‌ firmly against any further negotiations unless there is an apology from the Democratic Party. ​What does this​ indicate about the current political climate?

    Dr. Ji-hoon Lee: The refusal to negotiate without an apology underscores a deep-seated mistrust between the parties. The People⁤ Power Party feels betrayed, believing they⁢ were blindsided in ​the budget discussions. Such a position indicates⁣ that negotiations could remain contentious, transforming ‍what should be a cooperative ⁢process into a ⁣protracted battle filled with accusations and counter-accusations.

    Time.news Editor: The Democratic Party risks appearing dishonest ⁢if they push through budget ⁤cuts first and then call for increases in local currency funding. Do you think this‍ will have electoral consequences ⁢for them?

    Dr. Ji-hoon Lee: Absolutely. Voter perception is ⁢crucial, and if​ the public believes the Democratic Party is playing political ⁢games rather than looking out⁤ for their ‌best interests, they could⁢ suffer at the polls. It’s a fine line to walk, balancing party strategy with genuine public service. If⁢ they can’t navigate this without⁢ losing credibility, their support could wane.

    Time.news editor: the ⁣discussion on local currency has been described as key in revitalizing ‍small businesses⁢ and local⁢ economies. Do you believe that focusing on local currency is the right approach?

    Dr. Ji-hoon Lee: Local currency can certainly play a crucial role in stimulating local economies and encouraging community ‌spending. However, it should‍ be part of a broader economic strategy rather than a singular focus.⁣ Policymakers must consider structural issues affecting small businesses as well, such as access to credit, infrastructure improvements, and broader economic resilience ⁣strategies.

    Time.news Editor: As the December 10th deadline approaches, what should we watch for in the unfolding negotiations?

    Dr. Ji-hoon lee: I ⁣would watch ​for any changes in the narrative from both parties. How they frame their arguments—whether they lean into compromise, continue to entrench their ‍positions, or‌ pivot to garner public⁢ support—will be⁤ telling. Furthermore, if any third-party or⁤ self-reliant voices emerge calling for⁢ a unified approach to budget discussions, that⁤ could change the ⁤dynamics significantly.

    Time.news Editor: Thank you, ⁤Dr. Lee,for your insights⁣ today. It seems the road ahead is fraught with challenges,but also ⁣opportunities for negotiation and⁤ growth.

    Dr. Ji-hoon Lee: Thank you for having me. It will certainly be a‍ critical time for all parties involved, and it is vital that they prioritize the public’s needs ​above political maneuvering.
