[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Seo Young-seo] Park Ji-won, candidate for Mokpo City National Assembly (No. 3 Minsheng Party), announced that he will start his official campaign schedule on the 2nd together with the "People Who Open the Dawn of Mokpo," revealing his first schedule of meeting bus drivers at the Taewon Passenger Terminal in Seokhyeon-dong at 5:30 a.m.


Candidate Park said, "Bus drivers are the ones who open the dawn of Mokpo and serve as the feet of the citizens," adding, "To overcome COVID-19 and for a greater Mokpo and the Jeonnam presidential era, I will also become the hands and feet of the citizens and vigorously open a new day for Mokpo."


He will proceed with his first official campaign day schedule with greetings at the main gate of Hyundai Samho Heavy Industries at 6:30 a.m., greetings at the Ingongpokpo Intersection at 7:40 a.m., vehicle campaigning around Sinheung-dong at 10 a.m., Wonsan-dong at 12:30 p.m., Yeonsan-dong at 3 p.m., and farewell greetings at Yonghae-dong Apartment Intersection at 5:40 p.m.


In his "Starting the Campaign" statement released early morning on his homepage and SNS, Candidate Park said, "Although it is the first day of the campaign, my heart is heavy. There is a cry that 'whether dying from COVID or from ruin, it's the same,'" and added, "Having witnessed all the processes of overcoming the IMF foreign exchange crisis alongside President Kim Dae-jung, I, Park Ji-won, declare war on COVID and will definitely realize the payment of 1 million won per person (4 million won for a family of four) as a 'COVID combat allowance' (emergency disaster basic income)."



He also emphasized, "Only those who have worked for Mokpo and those who have achieved things together with the citizens should both start and finish, so that controversies like the medical school attraction issue do not occur," and stressed, "I will repay the support sent by the citizens of Mokpo with a 'Greater Mokpo, Jeonnam Presidential Era.'"
