Governor Kim said, “It is ridiculously inflated to say that the construction cost of Gadeokdo airport is 28 trillion won.” “The actual construction cost is 7.5 trillion won.” Busan = Blue House Photo Reporter-On the afternoon of the 25th, Busan 201, a fishing guidance ship sailing near Gadeokdo Island in Busan, has not only President Moon Jae-in, but also the Democratic Party’s “two-top” Lee Nak-yeon, Park Nae-nae representative, Hong Nam-ki Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Strategy and Finance, President Lee Ho-seung, as well as economic chief. The key members of the pro-moon (Jae-in-in) were Minister of Public Administration and Security Jeon Jeon-cheol, Gyeongnam Governor Kim Gyeong-soo, and Ulsan Mayor Song Chul-ho. Only five members of the Deputy Prime Minister and Ministerial Level, including Minister of Land, Transport and Maritime Affairs Byeon Chang-heum, Minister of Oceans and Fisheries Moon Seong-hyuk, and National Balanced Development Committee Chairman Kim Sa-yeol, served as President Moon. Twenty key personnel from the Party Administration boarded a ship with a capacity of 67 people.

On this day, 41 days before the 4/7 Busan mayor’s by-election, President Moon helped the ruling party with key members of the party administration by looking around the candidate site for a new airport in the southeastern region of Gadeok Island, which has emerged as a key issue that will move the Busan vote. Ho-young Joo criticized the president of the People’s Power, saying, “I rolled my arms up and started aggressively in the election campaign.”

Blue House spokesman Kang Min-seok said on the day, “The visit to Busan was decided a long time ago as part of a communication movement to revitalize the local economy, which is not related to the by-election.” The reason President Moon visited Busan and Gadeok Island on this day was to attend the’Southeastern Megacity Building Strategy Report Meeting’ held as part of the regional balanced New Deal Tour.

However, when President Moon visited Sinan, Jeollanam-do on the 5th on the same regional balanced New Deal tour, Jeonnam Provincial Governor Kim Young-rok and former minister attended, but the scale was relatively small. Democratic Party leadership such as Lee and Won Nae Kim, deputy Prime Minister Hong and Senior Lee, who are economic control towers, did not appear. Then the opposition even voiced a voice saying, “President Moon’s visit to Busan reminds me of the inauguration ceremony.” On this day, there were also observations that the idea of ​​a megacity in the southeast region, which President Moon emphasized along with the promotion of the new airport on Gadeok Island, was proposed by Governor Kim Gyeong-soo, a close friend of President Moon, and was accompanied by President Lee Nak-yeon, so that it was in mind until the next March presidential election. President Moon received a report on the plan for construction of a new airport on the offshore vessel near Gadeokdo Island, and said, “I am thrilled to see the planned new airport today and hear the Mega City initiative. Let’s not stop in the plan and make it happen.” President Moon returned to the Busan New Port and said, “I will fully support the strategy to build a mega-city in the southeast region. I hope that the (Gadeokdo New Airport Special Act) will be legislated as soon as possible so that the old wishes can come true as soon as possible.”

In particular, President Moon said, “A new airport is also necessary to raise the level of balanced national development,” and said, “To achieve balanced national development, a metropolitan area that can compete with the metropolitan area must be created.” “If the southeastern region is positioned as the two pillars of national development competing with the metropolitan area, we can reverse the trend of concentration in the metropolitan area.”

On this afternoon, President Moon, who received reports on the strategy of building a mega city in the southeast region, traveling around the sea near Gadeokdo Island and the Busan New Port starting from Bujeon Station in Busan, said, “The Booulkyung gathered their will for a powerful emergency today.” “By 2040, a population of 10 million, economy The goal is to build an ultra-wide metropolitan area with a scale of 490 trillion won.”

The Southeastern Mega City is a plan that Busan, Ulsan and Gyeongnam will join forces to build a shared living area and economic area for 8 million municipalities, making it Korea’s second mega city after the metropolitan area. President Moon said, “The new projects proposed in the Southeast region today will also be thoroughly reviewed by relevant ministries.” After the party administration made a total mobilization and promised not only the new airport of Gadeok Island but also the economic development of the entire Boulgyeong area, it also promised to fulfill local civil complaints.

The National Assembly Legislative Judicial Committee passed a special law on Gadeokdo Island, which exempts the preliminary feasibility study if necessary due to agreement between the opposition parties, and this law is expected to be dealt with at the plenary session on the 26th.
