Gadeokdo New Airport Special Act is presented at the plenary session of the National Assembly today (26th).

In order to speed up the project, the bill provides an environmental impact assessment, but if necessary, the preliminary feasibility study can be waived.

The Ministry of Land, Transport and Maritime Affairs and other government ministries actually expressed opposition to urgently pursuing the project by creating such a special law. In this situation, President Moon Jae-in visited Gadeokdo Island yesterday, causing controversy.

Next to President Moon Jae-in, Democratic Party leader Lee Nak-yeon and economic deputy Prime Minister Hong Nam-ki stood side by side.



President Moon, who received reports from Gyeongnam Governor Kim Gyeong-soo and others, promised full support for the Special Act on the New Airport of Gadeok Island.



[President Moon Jae-in: As soon as the special law is enacted, the government promises to proceed with the relevant procedures as quickly as possible and spare no necessary support.]



Regarding the report of the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport, which contained negative opinions at the new airport, we fully understand the embarrassment, but we need speed. Hada, the Ministry of Land, Transport and Maritime Affairs ordered speed war that it should have a willingness to play a role.



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 4 major rivers project, as a ticketing public scam.



[Ho-Young Joo/People's Power, Representative: (President) started an election campaign to support the Democratic Party in Gadeokdo Airport, a mega city in the southeast region.

Please don't forget that the president's blatant involvement in elections is a reason for impeachment.] The



Blue House said yesterday that the visit to Busan was a pre-scheduled schedule that was not related to the election, but the opposition party controversial over election intervention as it was condemned to go into review for the alleged violation of the election law. Seems to be amplified.
