Governor Kim Kwan-young of Jeonbuk Special Self-Governing Province ranked second in the country in the Realmeter Positive Evaluation Index. Jeonbuk Special Self-Governing Province Governor Kim Kwan-young ranked second in the country in a positive evaluation survey of 17 metropolitan government heads across the country. This is the first time in 7 months since August of last year.
Governor Kim Kwan-young, who was the only one in the top group to continue his upward trend in March, is not only ahead of Gyeongbuk Governor Lee Cheol-woo, but also narrowing the gap with Jeollanam-do Governor Kim Young-rok, expanding positive public opinion about the overall Jeonbuk provincial government in the 8th popular election.
According to the March general index of positive evaluations of regional leaders, conducted by Realmeter, a public opinion polling agency, on the 17th among 13,600 voters aged 18 or older nationwide (800 from each metropolitan organization), Governor Kim’s positive evaluation was 66.2%, compared to the previous month. It rose by 1.2%p (65.0% from the previous month).
Among the heads of 17 metropolitan organizations across the country, Governor Kim ranked second nationwide, following Jeonnam Governor Kim Young-rok (67.5%). It has been seven months since Governor Kim’s job performance evaluation ranked second in the nation in July (63.4%) and August (59.4%) of last year.
On the other hand, contrary to the rise in the general index of positive evaluations of Governor Kim, in March, Governor Kim Young-rok of Jeonnam recorded 67.5%, down 1.3 percentage points from the previous month, and Governor Lee Cheol-woo of Gyeongbuk recorded 64.0%, down 2.8 percentage points from the previous month.
This upward trend can be interpreted as a result of the progressive actions of the 8th popularly elected Jeonbuk Provincial Government, which is building a success story through constant challenges even when there is only a 1% chance, as the progressive actions of the Jeonbuk Provincial Government are conveyed through the media, and that residents have generally positively evaluated the vibrant provincial government operation of the Jeonbuk Self-Governing Province. do.
Currently, Jeonbuk Self-Governing Province has a negative impact on the local people’s economy due to the intensifying management burden on small business owners and small and medium-sized enterprises and difficulties in operating construction companies, and as there are concerns about a prolonged economic downturn, the Jeonbuk Self-Governing Province formed the ‘Save People’s Livelihoods Together’ Promotion Team in February and is working on policies to save people’s livelihoods. It’s being brought in.
As projects in each field become more concrete, we plan to prepare a budget through the supplementary budget in the near future and listen to the grievances of residents from all walks of life, such as visiting people’s livelihoods one by one.
In addition, considering bio as a future food industry following secondary batteries and the defense industry, we are concentrating our administrative power to reorganize Jeonbuk’s industry map, such as submitting an application for designation in the Ministry of Trade, Industry and Energy’s contest for a national high-tech strategic industrial complex in the bio sector.
The plan is to foster Jeonbuk’s bio industry foundation based on the bio development foundation and innovation capabilities differentiated from other regions that have been established over the past 20 years.
An official from Jeonbuk Special Self-Governing Province said, “It is believed that positive evaluations of the provincial government are continuing as we achieved results such as attracting over 10 trillion won in investment last year, as well as being designated as a Saemangeum investment promotion zone and secondary battery specialized complex.” He added, “We will not be complacent with the current situation.” “We will do our best to restore people’s livelihood and create jobs so that we can meet the wishes and wishes of the residents of the province,” he said.

Ivan Takov: Sofia cannot and should not turn into one big paid parking lot
– 2024-04-19 09:28:26
/ world today news/ The solution to the problems with traffic and parking goes through the construction of parking lots and the qualitative improvement of public transport, said the deputy chairman of the “BSP for Bulgaria” group
With colleagues from the BSP group in SOS, we do not support the change and expansion of paid parking zones. Sofia cannot and should not turn into one big paid parking lot. This was stated to BNT by the deputy chairman of the “BSP for Bulgaria” group, Ivan Takov. He added that since all the expansion of paid parking zones, the air quality in Sofia has not improved, nor has the pressure of cars in the center decreased.
“The solution to the traffic and parking problems is through the construction of parking lots and the qualitative improvement of urban transport in the capital. The goal of the Urban Mobility Center was to use the money to build parking lots, but so far there are almost none,” he said, adding that the big question is not where the money goes, but what it is spent on.
“The ruling majority in the SOS proposes that more than 3/4 of the “green” zone become “blue”. This sounds to me only and only as an attempt to tie up the thinned revenues in transport”, comments Takov.
According to him, this solves some local problems, but they move from one neighborhood to another. “This happened some time ago with “Dolen Lozenets”, where, after the introduction of a zone, the problem was transferred to “Goren Lozenets”, he explained.
Regarding the proposal that 30% of the paid vignette stickers go to the investment program of the respective district to which it is paid, Takov stated that this money is not the main income of the CGM and it is much smaller compared to the funds that come from SMS and. “It is not the job of the Central Municipal Government to repair the sidewalks in Sofia, but of the Sofia municipality. Considering that it gives 400,000 BGN per district, this will be difficult to do,” said Ivan Takov.

Istat: Italy’s well-being improves, but not the environment and safety. Poverty is not decreasing
The risk of poverty is not reduced (20.1% of the population)
In 2021, the average family income (33,798 euros) began to grow again both in nominal terms (+3%) and in real terms (+1%). The net income inequality index also improved, recording a value of 5.6, decreasing compared to the previous year (it was 5.9 in 2020) and with values slightly lower than the pre-pandemic ones (it was equal to 5 .7 in 2019): in the absence of family support measures (emergency transfers and citizenship income), the inequality index would have been equal to 6.4, a value much higher than that observed.
The population at risk of poverty remains substantially stable compared to the previous three years, equal to 20.1% in 2022. Absolute poverty from 2019 to 2023 (historical series reconstructed according to the new estimation methodology) presents a growth in individual incidence. In 2019 it had fallen to 7.6% coinciding with the introduction of Citizenship Income, a monetary transfer not indexed to inflation like other social welfare benefits. In 2020, the incidence started to grow again, reaching 9.1%. and remaining stable in 2021. In 2022, the incidence increases again to 9.7%, largely due to the strong acceleration in inflation which has particularly affected less well-off families and remains substantially stable with 9.8 % in 2023.
Waiving treatment due to financial problems or waiting lists
In 2023, approximately 4.5 million citizens have had to give up medical visits or diagnostic tests due to economic problems, waiting lists or access difficulties, 7.6% of the population (increasing compared to 7.0% in 2022 and 6.3% in 2019), probably due to recovery of healthcare benefits deferred for COVID-19 and difficulty in effectively reorganizing healthcare). There is a doubling of the share of those who gave up due to waiting list problems (from 2.8% in 2019 to 4.5% in 2023), while the number of people who gave up for economic reasons remained stable (from 4.3% in 2019 to 4 .2% in 2023), but still increasing compared to 2022: +1.3 percentage points in just one year. In 2023, life expectancy is equal to 83.1 years and is increasing compared to 2022 (82.3), almost completely recovering the 2019 level (83.2 years). Men with 81.1 years of expected average life return to the same level as in 2019, while for women (85.2 years) there is still 0.2 years to go (85.4 in 2019). Healthy life expectancy in 2023 is equal to 59.2 years and is reduced compared to 60.1 years in 2022. This reduction has brought the indicator back almost to the 2019 level (58.6 years), reducing the anomalous increase occurred between 2020 and 2022 due to the subjective component, as a result of the more widespread perception of good health conditions in times of pandemic.
Work, non-participation is close to 15%
Very large gaps concern the measures of the Work and life balance domain: in Italy in 2023 the rate of non-participation in work (14.8%) exceeds the EU27 average by almost six percentage points (8.7%); the employment rate is 9.1 percentage points lower than the European average (75.4%) and the percentage of people working involuntarily part time (10.2% in 2022), despite having been decreasing for four years, is almost three times the average of the 27 countries of the Union (3.6%).
All education and training measures place Italy lower than the EU27 average. The greatest distances concern the share of people aged 25-34 who have acquired a tertiary level of education (43.1% in the EU27%; 30.6% in Italy) and the greater incidence of young people who do not work or study : the latter, also defined as NEET, have however fallen significantly in the last period to 16.1% compared to 19%, even if they remain above the EU average of 11.2%,
