Democratic Party Gwangju Branch "Protect the People and Revive Livelihoods"
Visiting the National 5·18 Democratic Cemetery
The Gwangju Metropolitan City Party of the Democratic Party of Korea paid respects at the National 5·18 Democratic Cemetery on the morning of the 2nd to mark the New Year of the Gapjin year.
About 100 key party officials, including Lee Byung-hoon, Chairman of the Gwangju City Party (Member of the National Assembly for Dong-gu Nam-gu Eul), elected officials affiliated with the party, executive committee members, and advisory group members, participated in the New Year’s visit.
Chairman Lee Byung-hoon and the delegation offered flowers and incense to honor the spirits of the 5·18 victims who sacrificed their lives fighting for democracy in the Republic of Korea. After the solemn ceremony, they pledged to perpetually inherit the spirit of Gwangju and commit to the development of people’s livelihoods in 2024.
Chairman Lee Byung-hoon emphasized, “The most important thing to stop the ruthless tyranny of the Yoon Seok-yeol administration is a united Democratic Party,” adding, “Now is the time to gather everyone’s strength based on the urgent need to protect the people and save their livelihoods.”
He continued, “The formation of a new party by former Prime Minister Lee Nak-yeon is very regrettable and goes against the will of the people,” stating, “The core of the 5·18 spirit and Kim Dae-jung’s spirit is to protect democracy through reconciliation and unity, and the new party does not align with this spirit. This is the public opinion, so the plan for the new party by former Prime Minister Lee Nak-yeon must be withdrawn.”
