Democratic Party's Haenam-Wando-Jindo Basic Social Committee Launched: "The Region Takes the Lead"

First Integrated Launch Ceremony at the County Level in Jeonnam
Rallying Determination for Victory in the June 3 Presidential Election and Government Change

The Democratic Party's Haenam-Wando-Jindo Regional Committee announced that it will hold the "Basic Social Committee Integrated Launch Ceremony and Victory Resolution Rally" at 5 p.m. on May 3 at the Wando Culture and Arts Center.

This event is intended to reaffirm the region's commitment to putting into practice the Democratic Party's core policy of a "basic society," and to strengthen local resolve for victory in the upcoming presidential election on June 3. Following the launch ceremony in Suncheon on April 12, this marks the first such event at the county level in Jeonnam, and it has drawn attention as the first case where the three regions of Haenam, Wando, and Jindo have jointly launched an integrated committee.

The launch ceremony was attended by the heads of the counties, provincial council members, and county council members from Haenam, Wando, and Jindo, as well as senior local figures and representatives from civil society. Many of them participated as joint committee chairs and executive members, demonstrating strong momentum and broad representation.

Choi Hyukjin, Deputy Director of the Democratic Research Institute, who delivered a special lecture, is an expert in youth policy and the social economy. He is expected to emphasize that "a basic society is the embodiment of the Democratic Party's philosophy and practice, and that we must build a society where solidarity and opportunity prevail over inequality, starting at the local level." The event proceeded in the following order: an opening speech by Representative Park Jiwon, a special lecture by Deputy Director Choi Hyukjin (theme: Democratic Party + Basic Society), a basic society performance, and the victory resolution.

Representative Park stressed, "A basic society is one that maximally guarantees the basic rights of the people, and it is a policy that inherits the spirit of the Basic Livelihood Security System, which was first promoted by President Kim Dae-jung." He particularly emphasized, "We should refer to it as basic meals and basic education, not free meals or free education," and stated, "Haenam, Wando, and Jindo will lead the enthusiasm for a basic society that pursues both 'Meoksanism' (well-eating) and 'Jalsanism' (well-living), and drive it toward a change in government."

The Democratic Party's Basic Social Committee is founded on three principles: "Basic Society is Democracy," "Basic Society is Growth," and "Basic Society is Welfare." Its goal is to establish a system to address social polarization and inequality, and to respond to climate, technological, and demographic changes.

Meanwhile, the Haenam-Wando-Jindo Regional Committee plans to continue a variety of activities, including policy forums for the realization of a basic society, the development of practical policies, and community-based campaigns.
