Gwangjeonnohyeop, composed of labor unions from public institutions in Gwangju-Jeonnam Innovation City, stated in their declaration of support, “Candidate Lee Jae-myung, having served as the head of both basic and metropolitan local governments in the Seoul metropolitan area, is a candidate who has presented more outstanding insight and solutions than anyone else regarding the causes and remedies for the concentration phenomenon in the metropolitan area,” and added, “We declare that we will devote all our efforts to securing victory in this presidential election to build a new Republic of Korea together with candidate Lee Jae-myung.”
