[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Shin Dong-ho] Independent local councilors in the Gwangju area visited the National 5·18 Democratic Cemetery to pay tribute to the democratic spirits and marked a new beginning for exemplary and proactive legislative activities.

Councilors Gidae-seo and Choi Ki-young (Buk-gu), Kim Ok-su (Seo-gu), Park Yong-hwa (Nam-gu), and Park Jong-gyun (Dong-gu) visited the 5·18 Democratic Cemetery on the 16th and stated, "We will inherit the noble spirit of 5·18 as the spirit of democratic local autonomy."

They formed a legislative research group consisting of local councilors from the five districts and appointed Councilor Park Jong-gyun of Dong-gu as the head of the councilor group.

Councilor Park proposed, "We demand respect for legitimate minority opinions to ensure the democratic operation of local councils, which are currently being unilaterally run by the majority party, and we will actively support the reasonable views of the majority party in the spirit of cooperation."

He also stated, "We will take the lead in establishing the image of studying councilors and jointly respond to current issues in each district to present alternatives," adding, "In the future, during domestic and international councilor training, we will form a joint training group to conduct exemplary training that reflects policies and reduces budgets, and in daily life, we agreed to practice carbon neutrality measures."
