Residents' Direct Participation...Suwon Non-Aligned District Committee Policy Festival 'Concluded Successfully'

[Suwon Ilbo=Reporter Park No-hun] The Democratic Party's Suwon Non-Aligned District Committee held the 'Suwon Non-Aligned District Committee Policy Festival' at the Suwon Women's Cultural Space Hyu Hanul Madang on the 23rd afternoon.

The event was organized as a bottom-up policy proposal program designed to hear party members' voices and reflect them in actual policies. Approximately 100 party members and district committee officials, including city and provincial assembly members from the jurisdiction, attended.

Participants divided into a total of seven groups covering education, residential environment, culture and sports, living safety, local economic development, expanded community care, and other agendas, presenting ideas in each field and engaging in heated discussions.

After the discussions, each group presented the contents deliberated and held a session to determine priority rankings and vote on policies they considered good.

Rep. Kim Jin-pyo of the Democratic Party, who organized the event, said, "I believe that discussions achieved through residents' direct participation like this are the foundation of grassroots democracy. I will do my best to ensure that the various good agendas produced today are reflected in government policies," and added, "In the next forum, I will select one or two themes to conduct more focused discussions and ensure they naturally develop into public discourse."
