President Lee Jae-myung will visit Chungcheong on the 4th to listen to local issues. It has been 9 days since he visited Gwangju on the 25th of last month, saying he would directly resolve the issue of the integration of civilian and military airports. At that time, President Lee gathered the governors, mayors, and county heads for a four-party meeting and immediately directed the establishment of a six-member task force (TF) directly under the Presidential Office with the participation of relevant local governments and ministries.
According to the Presidential Office on the 3rd, President Lee will hold an event titled 'Communicating with the People, Listening to Chungcheong's Heart' at the Daejeon Convention Center on the afternoon of the 4th. Like his earlier event in Gwangju, this will be conducted as a 'town hall meeting.' The format will involve President Lee sitting down with local leaders and residents to engage in a question-and-answer session.
Typically, participants for a town hall meeting attended by the president are selected in advance. However, this time, the schedule for the event will be announced on the Presidential Office's website at 2 p.m. the day before, and on the day of the event, about 300 local residents will be allowed to attend on a first-come, first-served basis. Residents can enter the venue starting at 1 p.m.
During this event, ▲ President Lee will listen to the demands of small business owners and self-employed individuals, ▲ discuss solutions for defeasance of malicious debts, and ▲ talk about the direction of scientific and technological development with professionals in the science and technology sector. Additionally, local residents will have the opportunity to freely suggest local issues and engage in discussions with the president. To facilitate this, the Presidential Office stated that a form titled 'What I Request from the President' will be available at the entrance for residents to write and submit their opinions.
