“The power of the people actively supports the construction of the new airport in Gadeok Island.”

The words that the Emergency Response Committee Chairman Kim Jong-in said in Busan became like Huh Eon. The members of the National Assembly’s National Assembly, which belong to the People’s Power, who have regional districts in Daegu and Gyeongbuk (TK), blatantly launched an opposition.

On the 9th, at the’Busan Gadeokdo New Airport Special Law Public Hearing’ held by the National Assembly’s National Land, Infrastructure and Transport Committee on the 9th, Congressman Kim Hee-guk (Gyeongbuk Gunwi-gun Uiseong-gun Cheongsong-gun Yeongdeok-gun) demanded not to hold a public hearing at all, saying, “Gimhae Airport Expansion Plan is still alive. Instead of the existing Gimhae Airport expansion plan, it was the reason that “there was a fundamental mistake” to the Gimhae New Airport Verification Committee of the Prime Minister’s Office, which gave power to the construction of the Gadeok Island New Airport.

According to him, the Verification Committee asked the Legislative Office in September last year whether to consult with local governments in accordance with Article 34 of the Airport Facilities Act when cutting mountain obstacles in the direction of entering a new runway. Accordingly, the Ministry of Legislative and Legal Affairs responded to the effect that “it is a subject to be consulted with the local government, and the head of the relevant local government may request consultation with the Minister of Land, Infrastructure and Transport in the course of the project.” However, Congressman Kim argues that the Verification Committee distorted this as “a consultation with the local government should be preceded, but it was not,” and ordered a fundamental review of the Gimhae Airport expansion plan.

In this regard, Rep. Kim said, “It is a misinterpretation of the basic policy to consult with the local government after approving the airport construction implementation plan.” Said. “The Gimhae Airport Expansion Plan cannot be abolished by anyone right now. After the (Gimhae Airport Expansion Plan) is judged to be illegal or invalid, we have to carry out a public hearing (Gadeokdo New Airport Special Act).” “Otherwise, who in the Republic of Korea will observe the law? I would like to propose a forum.”

Rep. Kim also insisted on the abolition of the Special Law on Gadukdo New Airport. Rep. Kim, who responded to questions with the commentator, said, “Why is the normal procedure a special law, preferential treatment, or exemption from the preliminary feasibility study?” and said, “The Gadeokdo New Airport, which is full of legal and technical problems, will be forced to go after the by-election and the end of this regime. This is too big,” he insisted. He added, “Because it is a gateway airport without a substance, it is necessary to abolish the special law of Gadeokdo New Airport, which both parties are talking about for election purposes, while operating for 24 hours.

Rep. Kim Sang-hoon (Daegu Seo-gu) of the same party said, “Does it make sense to immediately build Gadeokdo Island, which is evaluated as having poor validity through various verification processes, and Gimhae New Airport (Gimhae Airport Expansion Plan) is denied after 4 years of confirmation?” “It’s unconscionable and I feel self-defeating about how to comply with’crazy decisions’.”

In particular, “for the convenience of the economy and citizens of Busan, it is a more profitable way to complete the Gimhae New Airport.” I’m doing it.”

Lee Heon-seung “Daegu and Gyeongbuk have rejected’Gimhae New Airport’ in 2016”

However, Rep. Lee Heon-seung (Jin Gu-eul, Busan), a member of the same party, tried to counteract.

On that day, Professor Kim Sang-hwan of the Department of Civil Engineering at Hoseo University stated with the intention that’the average depth near the planned site of Gadeokdo New Airport is so deep that it is difficult to reclaim the coast and there is a risk of subsidence like the Kansai Airport in Japan’. It was built before and opened in 1994,” he pointed out, “the Chansung side says that it can be solved with the soft ground improvement method.”

Rep. Lee said, targeting some of the lawmakers’ criticism that “the preliminary feasibility study exemption is excessive”, “the law initiated by the people’s power did not include a preliminary feasibility exemption as a compulsory regulation. It is a voluntary regulation.” “In KDI (Korea Development Institute) “I don’t think it’s a big deal to put in these arbitrary rules because the business suitability review is underway.”

In particular, “the participation and agreement of Daegu and Gyeongbuk were excluded (some statements), but at the beginning of the discussion of the Southeast Area New Airport, five attempts, including Daegu, Gyeongbuk, Busan, Ulsan, and Gyeongnam, decided to accept the results of giving research services to foreign institutions. “At that time, neither Miryang wanted by Daegu nor Gadeokdo that Busan wanted, but a plan to expand Gimhae New Airport came out, but Daegu rejected it and implemented its own external service to promote a new integrated Daegu-Gyeongbuk airport in 2016.” Pinched

In addition, he added, “The Daegu-Gyeongbuk New Airport Special Act will also be submitted, and a public hearing will be held sooner or later. Now, it is time to find a way to coexist without having an old argument.” In fact, they asked the members of the People’s Strength in the TK region,’Isn’t that against Gadeokdo New Airport because of a stomachache?’

For reference, the power of the people Busan City Party announced the first pledge of the 4.7 Busan Mayor’s By-election on the same day (9th), making the first pledge of ’24-hour Gadeokdo New Airport’.
