[Mokpo=Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Jeong Seunghyun] The Democratic Party of Korea's Mokpo City Regional Committee announced on the 26th that it will install and operate a 'visiting party office' within the region to communicate with citizens, but some citizens responded coldly.

This is interpreted as being due to the spread of public distrust toward the party following recent incidents such as the improper use of business promotion expenses by city councilors affiliated with the Democratic Party and the lawsuit over preferential vaccinations for city councilors.

Adding to the difficulties, a recent opinion poll showed that the People Power Party's support rate in Honam exceeded 21%, indicating that the regional premium of 'unconditionally supporting the Democratic Party' is disappearing, which also plays a part.

A Mokpo citizen, Mr. A, criticized, "Considering the local public sentiment so far, this indicates that the Democratic Party's crisis has reached a serious level," adding, "As the old saying goes, frequent farting leads to defecation; from now on, the party should open its ears and start by addressing even small public sentiments."
