(브레이크뉴스 광주·전남) 이학수 기자=민형배 더불어민주당 전남광주통합특별시장 후보가 10일 오후 광주 민심캠프 사무소에서 ‘전남광주 대전환 선거대책위원회’ 출범식을 거행하며 본격적인 지방선거 본선 행보에 박차를 가했다.
이번 출범식은 단순한 선거 조직 구성을 넘어, 분단된 지역 역량을 하나로 묶어 대한민국을 대표하는 거대 성장축으로 거듭나겠다는 ‘통합특별시’의 비전을 대내외에 선포하는 자리였다.
이날 행사에는 정청래 더불어민주당 대표와 ‘정치 9단’ 박지원 국회의원을 필두로 서삼석, 권향엽, 김문수, 박균택, 안도걸, 전진숙, 정준호, 정진욱, 조계원, 조인철 의원 등 전남·광주 지역 국회의원들이 대거 집결했다. 또한 시민사회, 노동계, 산업계, 청년, 농어민, 문화예술계 인사 200여 명이 참석해 ‘원팀(One Team)’ 결의를 다지며 필승의 의지를 불태웠다.
축사에 나선 정청래 대표는 민 후보를 향해 “김대중의 민주주의, 노무현의 국민통합, 문재인의 한반도 평화, 이재명의 실사구시 정신을 모두 갖춘 통합특별시의 적임자”라고 치켜세웠다. 이어 “당과 이재명 정부가 민형배를 외롭게 두지 않고 전남광주 통합의 미래 설계를 전폭적으로 지원할 것”이라며 당 차원의 강력한 지지를 약속했다.
민형배 후보는 연설을 통해 ‘통합’의 역사적 당위성을 역설했다. 그는 “80년 5월 신군부의 칼날 앞에서도 민주주의를 지켰으나, 돌아온 것은 전두환 정권의 강제적 분할 통치였다”고 지적하며, “한 뿌리인 전남과 광주가 갈라져 소모적인 경쟁을 벌여온 인고의 세월을 끝내고 이제 거대한 성장축으로 도약해야 한다”고 강조했다.
민 후보는 구체적인 청사진으로 ▲AI·반도체·미래차·데이터 산업 중심의 경제 구조 재편 ▲청년이 떠나지 않는 ‘경제 대도약’ ▲시민의 뜻이 예산과 정책에 직접 반영되는 ‘시민주권정부’ 수립을 제시했다. 그는 “전남광주의 성공이 곧 이재명 정부의 성공이 될 것”이라며 “압도적 성장을 통해 더 큰 전남광주를 반드시 현실로 만들겠다”고 포부를 밝혔다.
이번 선대위의 가장 큰 특징은 ‘시민주권·미래도약·원팀’ 3대 축을 기반으로 한 ‘사발통문형’ 수평 구조다. 이는 권위주의를 탈피하고 시민 누구나 의제를 발의하고 실행을 주도할 수 있는 참여형 선거 문화를 지향한다.
특히 파격적인 인선으로 꼽히는 주은기 삼성전자 고문(전 부사장)의 경제특별고문 영입은 민 후보의 경제 발전 의지를 보여주는 대목이다. 민 후보는 “대한민국 경제를 세계적 수준으로 이끈 주 고문의 경험이 AI·에너지 등 미래 산업 생태계 조성에 핵심 조력자가 될 것”이라며 기대감을 드러냈다.
후원회장에는 이광재 더불어민주당 경기 하남갑 국회의원 보궐선거 후보와 정성택 전 전남대 총장, 양동호 투게더광산 나눔문화재단 이사장이 이름을 올렸다.
총괄상임선대위원장은 김원이 민주당 전남도당위원장, 양부남 광주시당위원장, 주철현 국회의원, 박기영 순천대 교수가 맡았다.
상임선대위원장에는 박지원 의원을 비롯한 전남·광주 지역 국회의원 전원이 참여한다.
선대위 실무를 총괄하는 총괄상황본부장에는 윤주식 전 국회의원 보좌관이 선임됐다. 법률지원단장은 민심캠프 공명선거감시단장을 지낸 양은숙 변호사가 맡아 선거 전반의 법률 대응과 공정선거 감시를 지원한다.
비서실장에 김대중 전 광주시 비서실장, 공동조직본부장에 정장우 전 광주시 정무특보, 변원섭 전 한국능률협회 공공혁신본부장이 임명됐다.
수석대변인에는 윤난실 전 청와대 제도개혁비서관이, 공보단장으로는 김기봉 전 국회의원 보좌관이 선임됐고, 방송TV토론본부장에 박태명 전 kbc 광주방송 편성제작국장, 메시지실장에 이정우 전 더불어광주연구원장, 정책본부장에 이민철 전 광주지역문제해결플랫폼 집행위원장, 총무본부장에 박수미 전 국회의원 보좌관이 임명됐다.
출범식을 성공적으로 마친 민형배 후보는 앞으로 전남과 광주 지역 곳곳을 누비며 시민들과 소통을 강화하고, 통합특별시의 구체적인 정책 공약을 순차적으로 발표하며 선거전의 주도권을 잡아갈 계획이다.

Min Hyung-bae Sets Sail for ‘Jeonnam-Gwangju Integrated Special City’… Unconventional Launch of ‘Great Transformation Campaign Committee’
Large Gathering of Honam Region Lawmakers Including Chung Cheong-rae and Park Ji-won… ‘Economic Moves’ Draw Attention with Recruitment of Former Samsung Electronics Executive Joo Eun-ki Entering Full-Scale Main Election Mode Under the Slogans of ‘Citizen Sovereignty, Future Leap, and One Team’
(Break News Gwangju·Jeonnam) Reporter Lee Hak-su = Min Hyung-bae, the Democratic Party of Korea's candidate for the Integrated Special City of Jeonnam and Gwangju, kicked off his campaign for the main local elections in earnest by holding the launch ceremony for the "Jeonnam-Gwangju Great Transformation Election Campaign Committee" at the Gwangju Minsim Camp office on the afternoon of the 10th.
Beyond simply organizing an election campaign, this launch ceremony served as an occasion to declare to both domestic and international audiences the vision of an "Integrated Special City"—to unite the capabilities of the divided region to be reborn as a massive growth axis representing the Republic of Korea.
The event was attended by a large gathering of National Assembly members from the Jeonnam and Gwangju regions, led by Democratic Party of Korea Chairman Chung Cheong-rae and "political veteran" Rep. Park Ji-won, as well as Reps. Seo Sam-seok, Kwon Hyang-yeop, Kim Moon-soo, Park Kyun-taek, Ahn Do-geol, Jeon Jin-sook, Jung Joon-ho, Jung Jin-wook, Cho Gye-won, and Cho In-cheol. In addition, approximately 200 figures from civil society, labor, industry, youth, farmers and fishermen, and the culture and arts sectors attended, solidifying their resolve as a "One Team" and burning with a determination for victory.
In his congratulatory remarks, Party Leader Chung Chung-rae praised Candidate Min, calling him "the right person for the 'Unified Special City' who possesses Kim Dae-jung's democracy, Roh Moo-hyun's national unity, Moon Jae-in's peace on the Korean Peninsula, and Lee Jae-myung's spirit of seeking truth from facts." He further pledged strong party-level support, stating, "The Party and the Lee Jae-myung administration will not leave Min Hyung-bae alone and will fully support the design of the future for the integration of Jeonnam and Gwangju."
In his speech, Candidate Min Hyung-bae emphasized the historical imperative of "integration." Pointing out that “despite defending democracy in the face of the new military regime’s blade in May 1980, what we received in return was the Chun Doo-hwan regime’s forced rule by division,” he emphasized, “Jeonnam and Gwangju, sharing a common root, must end the years of suffering spent engaging in wasteful competition and now leap forward as a massive axis of growth.”
Candidate Min presented a concrete blueprint including: ▲ restructuring the economic structure centered on AI, semiconductors, future vehicles, and data industries; ▲ a “Great Economic Leap” that keeps young people from leaving; and ▲ the establishment of a “Citizen Sovereignty Government” where the will of citizens is directly reflected in the budget and policies. He expressed his ambition, stating, “The success of Jeonnam and Gwangju will be the success of the Lee Jae-myung administration,” and adding, “I will definitely make a greater Jeonnam and Gwangju a reality through overwhelming growth.”
The most significant feature of this campaign committee is its “circular-style” horizontal structure based on the three pillars of “Citizen Sovereignty, Future Leap, and One Team.” This aims to break away from authoritarianism and foster a participatory election culture where any citizen can propose agendas and lead their implementation.
In particular, the recruitment of Joo Eun-ki, former Vice President and Senior Advisor at Samsung Electronics, as Special Economic Advisor—considered a groundbreaking appointment—demonstrates Candidate Min’s commitment to economic development. Candidate Min expressed his anticipation, stating, “Advisor Joo’s experience in leading the Korean economy to a world-class level will serve as a key facilitator in creating a future industrial ecosystem, including AI and energy.”
Lee Kwang-jae, the Democratic Party of Korea candidate for the Gyeonggi Hanam-gap by-election, former Chonnam National University President Jung Sung-taek, and Yang Dong-ho, Chairman of the Together Gwangsan Sharing Culture Foundation, have been named as chairmen of the support committee.
Kim Won-i, Chairman of the Democratic Party’s South Jeolla Provincial Committee; Yang Bu-nam, Chairman of the Gwangju City Committee; National Assembly Member Joo Chul-hyun; and Professor Park Ki-young of Suncheon University have been appointed as the General Standing Campaign Committee Chairmen.
All National Assembly members from the South Jeolla and Gwangju regions, including Representative Park Ji-won, are participating as Standing Campaign Committee Chairmen. Yoon Ju-sik, a former aide to a National Assembly member, has been appointed as the Head of the General Situation Headquarters, which oversees the practical operations of the campaign committee. Attorney Yang Eun-sook, who served as the head of the Fair Election Monitoring Team for the Minsim Camp, will head the Legal Support Team to provide legal support for the overall election and monitor fair elections.
Kim Dae-jung, former Chief of Staff for Gwangju City, has been appointed as Chief of Staff; Jung Jang-woo, former Special Advisor for Political Affairs to Gwangju City, and Byun Won-seop, former Head of the Public Innovation Division at the Korea Management Association, have been appointed as Heads of the Joint Organization Headquarters.
Yoon Nan-sil, former Secretary for Institutional Reform at the Blue House, has been appointed as Senior Spokesperson; Kim Ki-bong, a former aide to a National Assembly member, has been appointed as Head of the Public Relations Team. Additionally, Park Tae-myung, former Director of Programming and Production at KBC Gwangju Broadcasting, has been appointed as Head of the Broadcast TV Debate Headquarters; Lee Jung-woo, former President of the Gwangju Institute for Democracy and Reunification, as Head of the Message Office; Lee Min-cheol, former Executive Chairman of the Gwangju Regional Problem Solving Platform, as Head of the Policy Headquarters; and Park Su-mi, a former aide to a National Assembly member, as Head of the General Affairs Headquarters. Having successfully concluded his launch ceremony, Candidate Min Hyung-bae plans to traverse every corner of the Jeonnam and Gwangju regions to strengthen communication with citizens and seize the initiative in the election campaign by sequentially announcing concrete policy pledges for the unified special city.
