Former Industry Ministry Spokesperson Kim Seong-jin Officially Announces Candidacy for Gwangsan-gu Eul, Gwangju

"I Will Open the Welfare Era Through the Economy," Declares Ambition

Former spokesperson of the Ministry of Trade, Industry and Energy, Kim Seong-jin, officially declared his candidacy for the Gwangsan-gu Eul district in Gwangju Metropolitan City in next year's National Assembly election.

On the morning of the 14th, after paying respects at the National May 18th Democratic Cemetery, former spokesperson Kim expressed his ambition at the Gwangju City Council, saying, "I will open an era of welfare through the economy."

He continued, "I decided to run to overcome the situation where politics has disappeared, the economy has collapsed, and people's livelihoods are in distress due to the tyranny of the Yoon Seok-yeol administration," adding, "I will make Gwangsan, Gwangju a city of 'Better Politics, Better Economy, and Brighter Future.'"

He also vowed to open an era of better politics by introducing a National Assembly recall system to usher in an era of popular sovereignty, leading efforts to reduce parliamentary privileges such as immunity from prosecution, immunity from arrest, and no work no pay.

He said, "Gwangju is called the heart of democracy, but its economy is underdeveloped," promising to focus on nurturing and creating an investment environment for three future industries: future automobiles, defense industry clusters, and bio-health industries, to create many good jobs.

He also emphasized, "Low birthrate and aging have become national issues," and stated, "I will create a future happy city that satisfies everyone to overcome the waves of low birthrate and aging."

As specific measures, he proposed expanding 24-hour emergency care centers, implementing a 100% national childcare responsibility system, introducing youth 10,000-won housing, expanding women's time-selective jobs, creating new silver-type jobs, and establishing a comprehensive theme park for companion animals.

He also presented three core goals and ten execution tasks. The three core goals are ▲ Realizing a complete era of popular sovereignty through better politics ▲ Preparing for the next 100 years of Gwangsan's future through a better economy ▲ Implementing a complete welfare city for a brighter future.

The ten execution tasks are ▲ Realizing an era of popular sovereignty including the introduction of the National Assembly recall system ▲ Fostering three future industries ▲ Completing a regional economic map that grows alongside small business owners ▲ A young city where youth and newlyweds want to live ▲ Establishing a care system without blind spots ▲ Implementing a 100% national childcare responsibility system ▲ Creating a premium education special zone ▲ A healthy and prosperous Gwangsan without worries about aging ▲ Realizing a city of equality without discrimination ▲ A city good for raising companion animals.

Former spokesperson Kim said, "I have shown many achievements through over 30 years of experience and networks at the Ministry of Trade, Industry and Energy and others," adding, "I will bring innovation to the industries of Gwangsan and Gwangju with the expertise of an economic specialist."

He added, "I will create a prosperous Gwangju through fostering new industries and complete welfare that all classes can enjoy," and said, "I will work like a rhino's horn with clean and competent determination, untainted by established politics."
