According to the Blue House the luncheon was an opportunity for the President to listen to public sentiment and opinions from the Gwangju region while also renewing the government's determination to preserve and pass on the spirit of the 1980 democratization movement.
Just a couple of days ago, President Moon blasted several opposition lawmakers who made controversial remarks about the pro-democracy movement, claiming it was organized by North Korea.
