The city party-level ‘Visiting Democratic Party’ will have Song Gap-seok, the city party chairman, listen to public sentiment at 3:30 p.m. on the 27th at Sangmu Station Intersection in Seo-gu.

All on-site communication events will be conducted in strict compliance with quarantine rules, and considering the COVID-19 situation, a separate opinion submission page will be opened on the official Democratic Party website to allow all citizens to freely express their opinions.

The 17 city and provincial parties, including the Democratic Party of Korea Gwangju Metropolitan City Party, will compile the results of the ‘National Communication and Public Sentiment Listening Project’ and deliver a ‘Field Public Sentiment Report’ to the central party. The results will be announced through a national report by party leader Song Young-gil on the 1st of next month.

Song Gap-seok, chairman of the Gwangju City Party (National Assembly member for Seo-gu Gap, Strategic Planning Committee Chairman), said, “Our party’s defeat in the by-elections was due to a lack of communication with the people,” and added, “We ask for the public’s great interest in the ‘National Communication and Public Sentiment Listening’ project. The Democratic Party of Korea will engrave the voices of the people repeatedly and be reborn as a true party for people’s livelihood.”
