“It is revealed through media reports that the issue of using reserve funds was so great that there were comments (at the Supreme Council meeting) such as whether this was “tax fraud” by Office of the President and whether these rules should be implemented. .

It was spent and used in places that did not fit the nature of the reserve.

I would like to say that the position of the President and the Office of the President must be clear on this.

In addition, a few days have passed, but there have been decisions from the court. In the court’s second decision, it was decided that the president’s film expenses and private company dinner expenses would be subject to disclosure.

Also, aren’t business card details condemned at the Ministry of Justice? The court also decided on the 30th of last month that all relevant information would be published.

In this regard, the duties and details of the relevant ministries and the Office of the President must be disclosed. ”

“It was reported that Yoon Seok-yeol’s government spent the reserve fund as if it were taking money from its own pocket.

Looking at the details of the use of reserve funds for 2022, the President spent 65 billion won in reserve money as part of the budget for the transfer of the Office of the President, which he said was “50 billion enough.”

In addition, in 2023, 53.2 billion won will be spent on trips abroad. This is twice the 24.9 billion won budget for normal diplomacy previously given to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

However, they steadfastly refuse to allocate a supplementary budget to support the recovery of people’s livelihoods, which are expected to restore people’s livelihoods.

Are you saying that you can spend the president’s budget freely, but you cannot spend one penny of the budget to take care of the livelihood of the people?”
