[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Choi Soon-kyung] The Agricultural Organizations Council of Jinju City, Gyeongnam Province, has been conducting a relay one-person protest in front of the National Assembly main gate for five days from the 19th to the 23rd, opposing the dismantling-level LH reform plan, with the participation of 11 representatives of affiliated organizations.

Im Ho-sik, chairman of the council who participated in this relay one-person protest, stated, "It is appropriate to severely punish LH executives and public officials involved in real estate speculation such as farmland, but reducing LH’s functions, organization, and personnel will not fundamentally block real estate speculation and will only result in hindering balanced national development, so it cannot be a solution."

Chairman Im opposed, saying, "Laws and systems should be supplemented to address the root causes of real estate speculation, and the dismantling-level LH reform plan should be reconsidered."

The Agricultural Organizations Council of Jinju City conducted relay campaigns by organization at the entrance of Munsan Interchange on Namhae Expressway from the 3rd to the 21st of last month.

On the 7th of this month, they issued a statement in the name of the agricultural organizations, declaring that they absolutely cannot accept the dismantling-level LH reform plan.
