Democratic Labor Party: "Implement Godeung-dong Compensation"

As the issue of resident compensation for LH Corporation's Godeung-dong residential environment improvement project in Suwon continues to spark controversy, the Democratic Labor Party's Suwon Committee released a statement on the 1st, urging prompt implementation of the project.

In the statement, the DLP Suwon Committee stated, "The fundamental reason LH Corporation has reset the project due to management concerns lies in the government's pursuit of new national policy projects such as 'Sejong City, Bogeumjari Housing, and Enterprise Innovation Cities' under the Lee Myung-bak administration and the Democratic Party," and pointed out that "Suwon City and Suwon City Council are intensifying their response against LH Corporation rather than addressing the root cause—the new national policy projects—that has led to the stagnation of the residential environment improvement project."

The committee further criticized harshly, stating that "a project that prioritizes profitability over public interest is not a working-class housing policy but a project that deprives ordinary citizens of their housing rights, and is merely another name for 'redevelopment projects and new towns,'" and added, "The attempt to nullify the residential environment improvement project, which has been an existing working-class housing policy, and proceed with new national policy projects such as 'Bogeumjari Policy' is an act of deceiving the entire nation."

Moreover, the committee voiced strongly, "LH Corporation must promptly apologize for betraying residents who are already suffering significant damages due to their selfish judgment, and implement compensation for damages and project plans as promised," and stressed, "Suwon City and Suwon City Council must take a responsible stance on the Godeung-dong project, and the Democratic Party and the Lee Myung-bak administration must prioritize the residential environment improvement project above new national policy projects."
