What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

Gyeonggi Province approved a supplementary budget that restored 21.6 billion won for livelihood-related programs, including support for child care and postpartum care. This agreement resolved a monthlong funding impasse, allowing essential services to continue through the final quarter of 2026. However, the fundamental problem of falling revenue and growing spending obligations remains unresolved.
