Sejong City Council Cuts Entire Garden Expo Budget...Mayor Choi Min-ho Ends Hunger
The 'International Garden City Expo and Light Festival Budget' that Sejong City Mayor Choi Min-ho demanded to pass while on a hunger strike has been completely cut.
At the 1st plenary session of the 93rd extraordinary session held on the 11th, the Sejong City Council passed the International Garden City Expo and Light Festival budget with 13 votes in favor and 7 votes against out of 20 members present, completely cutting the budget.
Mayor Choi Min-ho demanded the passage of the budget, even going on a hunger strike, but the city council cut the budget entirely that day, making Mayor Choi's hunger strike meaningless.
With the Sejong City Council cutting the budget for the International Garden City Expo and Light Festival that day, the expo and light festival are now in a situation where it is virtually impossible to hold them.
On the morning of the 11th, when the city council plenary session was held, civic groups and Sejong City Council People Power Party members held a rally to urge the passage of the budget and pressured the city council, but in the end, the budget was completely cut.
Meanwhile, Mayor Choi Min-ho, who had been on a hunger strike for six days demanding the passage of the budget, ended his hunger strike at 4 p.m. before the city council vote was announced and returned empty-handed. <저작권자 ⓒ 브레이크뉴스대전충청 무단전재 및 재배포 금지>
