'Straight' to focus on local government fiscal crisis and disabled people's mobility rights... broadcasting on the 6th

MBC 'Straight' will intensively cover the crisis situation of local finances and the reality of mobility rights for people with disabilities through its broadcast on the 6th (Sun) at 8:30 PM.

Heads of local governments newly inaugurated after the recent local elections are appealing that the coffers of local governments have been emptied due to the loose fiscal management of the previous administration. Citing the fiscal crisis, they have entered emergency response mode, such as completely reviewing or canceling existing projects. The production team tracks cases of repeated budget waste since the introduction of the local autonomy system and examines whether there are institutional mechanisms to monitor populist projects for political purposes.

The Reality of Mobility Rights for Wheelchair Users

Between the protests of wheelchair users continuing at subway stations and the cold reactions of citizens, the issue of mobility rights for people with disabilities has emerged as a factor of conflict in our society. In particular, the program closely reported on the reality of people with disabilities who face difficulties in moving freely even during holiday periods. The production team intends to expose the reality where the government, the National Assembly, and the judiciary treat the mobility rights of people with disabilities as an object of consideration rather than a constitutional right.
