Song Guigeun, Governor of Goheung County, Joins the '#ExpectLocalAutonomy' Challenge

Commitment to Realizing Resident-Centered Autonomy and Decentralization Together with Citizens

[Goheung=Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kim Chunsu] Song Gwigeun, the governor of Goheung County, announced on the 13th that he participated in the ‘#ExpectLocalAutonomy Challenge’ to share hopes for realizing resident-centered local autonomy as a subject of local self-government.

This challenge is a campaign initiated last December by the Presidential Committee on Local Autonomy to commemorate the opening of the ‘Local Autonomy 2.0 Era’ through the fully revised Local Autonomy Act for the first time in 32 years and the implementation of the autonomous police system for the first time in 75 years.

To participate, one takes a photo expressing free opinions about the ‘Local Autonomy 2.0 Era,’ uploads it on their personal social networking services (SNS) such as Facebook or Instagram, and then nominates three next participants.

Governor Song participated in this challenge after being nominated by Heo Seongmu, mayor of Changwon, on the 8th, and he nominated Kwon Obong, mayor of Yeosu, Jeong Jongsun, governor of Jangheung County, and Kim Jincheon, chief of Goheung Police Station, as the next participants.

Governor Song stated, “Marking the 30th anniversary of local autonomy this year, I expect a groundbreaking change toward the Local Autonomy 2.0 Era,” and added, “Together with the residents of Goheung County, I will lead the realization of resident-centered local autonomy.”
