On the 21st, Democratic Party of Korea representative Seo Young-gyo, who accused the Yoon Seok-yeol government of cutting the military service member’s clothing budget, corrected her remarks on the 21st, saying it was “an error”.

Rep Seo said at the Supreme Committee on-site meeting held in BEXCO, Busan on the same day, “The budget for soldiers’ underwear and panties has been cut by 1.6 billion won in next year’s budget, but the Ministry of National Defense says it is because the unit price has been lowered “.

However, he added: “The unit price of combat boots, football boots, underwear and panties has all been lowered, but I have to ask once again what happens to the company that made them.”

Earlier, in a question to the government dated 19, the Seo representative said: “The unreasonable budget of the Yun Seok-Yeol government” and that the budget was cut by 31 billion won for combat shoes, 2.1 billion. won for soccer shoes, 9.5 billion won for underwear, 500 million won for panties and 400 million won for socks. Then he raised his voice saying, “Did we cut this budget when our kids said they’d wear underwear in the dead of winter?”

Democratic Party leader Lee Jae-myung also said at a Supreme Council meeting: “Even from my point of view, it’s pathetic, absurd and outrageous. As our children sacrificed their youth to serve in the military, we cut back on clothes and shoes that weren’t worn properly. If the elder is discharged, there may be a situation where he can inherit (assets). “

On the 20th the People’s Power criticized that even the facts were wrong and that “the basic qualities of an opposition party are doubtful”.

“The Democratic Party has been deceiving the people,” Seong Il-jong, chairman of the political committee, said during the meeting.

He continued: “I hope you will study a little and ask the government questions. The item was reduced due to a drop in the unit price. It is a normal balance sheet which shows the sincerity of excellent public officials ”.

Geum-hee Yang, spokesman for the word, commented: “The claims of the Democratic Party turned out to be totally false. They spread false information saying that 100 million won was cut.”

He continued: “The parliamentarians and representatives of the opposition parties, who have to monitor the government budget, not only did not distinguish between cuts and cuts, but the basic figures were also wrong. It is the appearance of an ‘amateur opposition party’ that raises its voice only with false incitement “.
