문 대통령 "3차추경 6월통과 무산돼선 안돼"<br /><br /> President Moon Jae-in has urged lawmakers to swiftly pass the government's third extra budget proposal stressing that it must be done this month.<br />According to the Blue House on Sunday, the president said that a delay in passing it will only increase the burden on the people.<br />"There are more than 3-point-9 million people who can get support to overcome this emergency through the supplementary budget. I believe the National Assembly will not turn a blind eye to the urgent situation. Timing is key. A delay of one day means another day of suffering for 3-point-9 million people."<br />In early June, the government submitted an extra budget bill, worth roughly 30 billion U.S. dollars, to help cushion the economic fallout from COVID-19.<br />But the National Assembly has yet to start deliberations with rival parties still at odds over the distribution of posts on parliament's standing committees.<br />The government has rolled out a series of emergency measures to help companies maintain jobs, support key industries, and to provide financial support to the self-employed and other vulnerable people, which will be funded in part by the extra budget. <br />
