[Reporter Lee Jang-hee, Korean Farmers and Fishermen Newspaper] Gyeonggi Provincial Assembly Chairman Bang Sung-hwan (People Power Party-Seongnam 5) strongly criticized Governor Kim Dong-yeon and Provincial Education Superintendent Im Tae-hee, pointing out the reduction in Gyeonggi Province's agricultural budget and the imbalance in agricultural policy direction. During the second plenary session of the 387th regular session of the Provincial Assembly held on November 5, Chairman Bang emphasized, "Agriculture is not a simple industry but the foundation where the lives of the people, food security, the environment, and the future generation intersect," and stressed, "The measure of whether the provincial government is sincerely addressing agricultural policy is revealed not in words but in budget and on the ground." Chairman Bang noted, "The general account of Gyeonggi Province is increasing every year."
