Under the leadership of the Democratic Party of Korea, next year's budget bill, which only reflects the opposition's "reduced opinion," has been passed by the National Assembly's Special Committee on Budget and Accounts.

A few days ago, the Democratic Party of Korea began to express its unilateral intention to pursue it, claiming that Lee's influence must have played a role in the rapid change in posture.

He has been shouting for people's livelihoods and asking the government to spend some money, but asked if it is for the people to disrupt criminal investigations such as drugs, gangsters, and fraud due to budget cuts.
