Candidate Yongbin Lee: "I Will Open the Era of a Greater Gwangsan"

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Park Seon-gang] Lee Yong-bin, the Democratic Party of Korea candidate for Gwangsan-gap, Gwangju Metropolitan City, stated on the first day of the April 15 general election, April 2, “As a ruling party candidate accompanying the Moon Jae-in administration, I will open a greater era for Gwangsan through powerful change.”

On the morning of the same day at 5 a.m., candidate Lee visited the Gwangsan-gu Facilities Management Corporation to greet environmental workers who work closely with the daily lives of residents and officially began his election campaign at dawn.

He then proceeded with a morning greeting at Yeonggwangtong Intersection, disinfection activities at Gwangju Songjeong Station, listening to taxi drivers’ public opinion, visiting small business owners at 1913 Songjeong Station Market, and the flower complex, addressing the livelihood economy threatened by COVID-19.

At this event, civil complaints such as installing CCTV at Songjeong 5-day Market, increasing the brightness of signboard lighting in the Songjeong area, and allowing taxi waiting in the section from Songjeong Station to in front of Yumyeongjongno Pharmacy were agreed to be discussed with the relevant institutions.

Candidate Lee said, “We are currently fighting two wars. One is the quarantine war to protect the safety of all citizens without discrimination or exclusion from the new infectious disease, and the other is the economic war to protect the common people’s economy, which has been hit hard by the COVID-19 crisis,” adding, “We will definitely win the COVID war and protect the people and the common economy.”

He also said, “This election will be an important one to decide whether Gwangsan-gu remains in the past or advances as Gwangju’s future food source,” and pledged, “I will open a new 100-year era of the future for Gwangsan-gu, which has remained on the sidelines in transportation, medical care, welfare, and economy.”

Meanwhile, candidate Lee presented five major pledges: ▲ Establishment of a public medical control tower ‘Gwangju Medical Center’ ▲ Better jobs through Gwangju-type jobs ▲ Improvement of the vulnerable public transportation system in Gwangsan-gu ▲ Resolution of the Gwangju military airport relocation issue ▲ Development of the Gwangju Songjeong Station area.
