What would be the first approval document for Kim Young-rok and Min Hyung-bae \u2014 the Democratic Party candidates in the primary for mayor of the integrated Jeonnam\u2013Gwangju special municipality \u2014 as they prepare for the June 3 local elections?<\/p>\n

The Democratic Party\u2019s April 9 final candidate debate proceeded in this order: common questions, a lead-off debate, a \u201cmy usual self\u201d segment, a second lead-off debate, and closing remarks.<\/p>\n

During the common-question segment, moderators asked each candidate which document they would sign first if elected mayor.<\/p>\n

Speaking first, Kim said his top priority would be issuing emergency relief payments to households.<\/p>\n

Kim argued that the Middle East situation has strained the economy: fuel prices have risen, shortages of pay-as-you-throw trash bags have emerged amid a broader plastic-bag crunch, and fertilizer price increases are deepening farmers\u2019 distress.<\/p>\n

He said, \u201cIf I assume office on July 1, I will allocate 300 billion KRW (225 million USD) to provide emergency relief payments. I will also issue local gift certificates for small and medium-sized enterprises and small merchants to revive neighborhood economies. I will support the petrochemical industry, the travel sector, taxi services, and arts and culture to restore the economy and protect livelihoods.\u201d<\/p>\n

Min said his first approval would be a 100-day emergency action plan for the integration.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere is a lot to do once integration is underway,\u201d he said, warning that a successful merger must leave no room for error.<\/p>\n

Min added that the initial phase is decisive for success. He said the 100-day emergency action plan would include an emergency economic crisis response system, a citizen nomination process for deputy mayors, mechanisms to mediate interregional disputes, and administrative reorganization.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
