Gyeonggi's Role as 'National Governance Partner No. 1' and Criticism of Yoon Suk-yeol Administration

Governor Kim Dong-yeon stressed that it is time for Gyeonggi Province to accelerate its role as 'National Governance Partner No. 1' based on its achievements and capabilities. He asserted that as a governor well-versed in economics and Gyeonggi Province, he would be a competent field worker for a competent president. Notably, he criticized the Yoon Suk-yeol administration, stating that Gyeonggi Province had confronted reversals for three years with the mindset of a 'government-in-exile,' having resolutely rejected the Ministry of Interior and Safety's order to close the provincial office and promptly responded to what he called a de facto coup d'état. He further claimed that the Lee Jae-myung administration would be the first in history to simultaneously tackle real estate and growth, with Gyeonggi Province providing strong support for both pillars.
