Progressive Party Gwangju City Council Candidates Announce Common Pledges and Appeal for Support

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Park Jin-hyung] Progressive Party candidates for Gwangju City Council appealed for support on the 26th by announcing common pledges.

So Jae-seop, candidate for City Council (Buk-gu District 4), held a press conference in front of Gwangju City Council and said, "Local politics is regressing. The cause lies in the monopolization by the Democratic Party as the single ruling party. City council members, who should act as a check and balance on behalf of citizens, have become mere rubber stamps for the mayor, and instead of taking care of citizens' lives, some members have pursued their own interests. We have witnessed the painful reality where innocent Gwangju citizens have lost their lives. If there is a problem, shouldn't we change it?"

He continued, "Please change to the Progressive Party. Send the Progressive Party city council candidates, who have long worked alongside Gwangju citizens in the region and on the ground, to the Gwangju City Council. We will change the Gwangju City Council, which has become a hotbed of arrogance, incompetence, and corruption, and go beyond mere checks and balances to make Gwangju a city where the labor of workers, farmers, and small business owners shines," he emphasized.

Kim Mi-hwa, proportional representation candidate for City Council, announced the common pledges, stating, "The common pledges of Progressive Party candidate for Gwangju mayor Kim Joo-eop and city council candidates were created through meetings with residents in neighborhoods across the city. They include the most necessary aspects for the lives of Gwangju citizens."

The press conference statement was read by candidates Kang Seung-chul (Seo-gu District 2) and Choi Kyung-mi (Gwangsan-gu District 4).
