Shin Junghoon, a member of the Democratic Party of Korea (representing Naju and Hwasun in South Jeolla Province, and Chair of the Chamjoeun Local Government Committee), announced on the 14th that the "National Conference for Emergency Action by Local Governments for the Recovery of the Livelihood Economy" will be held at 2 p.m. on the 15th in the party leader's meeting room at the National Assembly main building.

This meeting has been organized to revive the economy, which has been pushed to the brink due to the aftermath of martial law and various disasters. Heads of local governments affiliated with the Democratic Party will attend to present policy cases that their local governments are implementing to overcome the livelihood crisis and to seek practical policy directions for regional economic recovery.

As examples of joint policy implementation by the Democratic Party, local government heads will directly present and discuss cases such as: ▲ the use of local currency (Park Junghyun, Mayor of Buyeo) ▲ region-specific livelihood recovery support fund policies (Lee Haksoo, Mayor of Jeongeup; Kim Kyungil, Mayor of Paju) ▲ specialization of public delivery apps (Jung Myunggeun, Mayor of Hwaseong) ▲ rice income support policies (Myeong Hyunkwan, Mayor of Haenam).

The event will be attended by Democratic Party leader Lee Jaemyung, floor leader Park Chandae, Policy Committee Chair Jin Sungjun, and about 40 heads of local governments affiliated with the party.

Shin stated, "The Chamjoeun Local Government Committee will continue to showcase policies to overcome the livelihood crisis that the Democratic Party is focusing on and that Democratic Party-affiliated local governments are implementing," and added, "At the same time, we will strive to discover and expand measures tailored to the circumstances of each region so that more citizens can benefit."

Meanwhile, the Chamjoeun Local Government Committee of the Democratic Party of Korea is a permanent in-party organization tasked with promoting innovation tasks for local autonomy and fiscal independence in Korea, with Shin Junghoon serving as its chair.
