Gyeonggi Province Disability Organizations' Federation Endorses Kim Mun-soo

On the 31st of last month, 11 member organizations of the Gyeonggi Province Disability Welfare Organizations' Federation announced their endorsement of Kim Mun-soo, the candidate for Gyeonggi Province governor.

The 11 member organizations of the Gyeonggi Province Disability Welfare Organizations' Federation held a press conference on May 31st at the Gyeonggi Provincial Assembly's 3rd floor briefing room to announce their support for Kim Mun-soo, the candidate for Gyeonggi Province governor.

In a statement, they pointed out that the "June 2 Gyeonggi Province Disability Local Election Alliance and Gyeonggi Region Disability Organizations' endorsement of candidate Yu Si-min" reported on the 27th of last month "was an endorsement by some organizations and leaders within Gyeonggi Province, yet was interpreted as representing the will of all people with disabilities."

They also stated, "We express concern that, contrary to the position of the Gyeonggi Province Disability Welfare Organizations' Federation, which represents disability organizations, some disability organizations are being reported in the media as representing people with disabilities in Gyeonggi Province by endorsing a different candidate."

They emphasized, "Through this press conference, we seek to clearly state the federation's position," and "We judge that Kim Mun-soo is the most suitable candidate for open welfare that can best reflect the opinions of people with disabilities in Gyeonggi Province."

Meanwhile, candidate Kim Mun-soo visited Bucheon, his "political hometown," in the afternoon to conduct a large-scale campaign rally as part of his efforts to ensure victory in the election.
