Gwangju Seo-gu Council Members Pay Tribute at the National 5·18 Democratic Cemetery

Members of the Seo-gu Council in Gwangju Metropolitan City began their official schedule on the 4th by paying respects at the National May 18th Democratic Cemetery.

At around 9 a.m. that day, they gathered at the Memorial Tower in Unjeong-dong Cemetery, Buk-gu, Gwangju Metropolitan City, to honor the noble spirit of May and reaffirm their new determination.

Chairperson Ko Kyung-ae stated, “While we will cooperate with the executive branch where necessary, we will boldly point out any wrongdoings through the council’s fundamental roles of checking, monitoring, and criticizing.”

Following this, the Seo-gu Council members continued their meaningful start to the new year by volunteering to serve meals at the Seo-gu Senior Welfare Center.

Kim, a user of the welfare center, said, “In these difficult times of economic downturn, it is reassuring to see local politicians stepping forward to serve meals like this. Having shared the new year’s schedule with neighbors in need through volunteer work, I hope they respond to residents’ expectations with good policies and council activities.”

In response, Chairperson Ko said, “We will do our best to ensure that no seniors fall into welfare blind spots by making legislative and policy efforts and securing budgets for the health and safety of the elderly.”
