President Moon Jae-in visited the site where Busan's Gadeokdo New Airport is scheduled to be built today (25th).

Major passport figures, including the Democratic Party representative and the Deputy Prime Minister, were also present.

The Blue House explained that it was an on-site visit for regional development, but the opposition party strongly opposed the involvement of elections with the Busan mayoral by-election in mind in April.

Minister of Land, Infrastructure and Transport Byun Chang-heum replied that he regretted that he would do his best to promote the new airport if the bill was passed.



The people's power was even impeached, saying that it was an election intervention with the Busan mayor's by-election in mind, and the Justice Party also protested that it was the same as the Lee Myung-bak administration's four major rivers project, as a ticketing public scam.

Blue House said that today's visit to Busan's Bujeon Station, Gadeokdo Island and Busan New Port is a pre-scheduled schedule that is not related to the election, and is intended to revitalize the regional economy in the Southeast region.
