Jeju 2nd Airport Public Opinion Survey After Effects… Intensifying political conflict

Political conflicts are intensifying after the announcement of the results of public opinion polls on the pros and cons of Jeju 2nd Airport construction.

In a statement on the 19th, the day after the announcement of the results of the citizens’ opinion poll, Nam-soo Jwa, chairman of the Jeju Provincial Council, said, “I will humbly respect the opinions of the citizens.”

He asked the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport to respect the will of Jeju residents and make responsible policy decisions, saying, “As promised to the residents, we will faithfully fulfill the agreements between the provincial assembly and the province.”

Chairman Zwa said, “It is time to end the conflict that has been deeply rooted in the urban community and to work for the integration of the urban population,” and said, “We will gather wisdom so that the civil society can come together on the path for the future development of Jeju society. “He said.

Against this, a provincial council member under the power of the people protested.

Provincial Assemblyman Kang Chung-ryong said, “Chairman Nam-soo Jwa should apologize to the metropolitan citizens and provincial councilors for releasing the’Provincial Council’s position statement’ without confirming the will of the entire provincial council.”

Rep. Kang argued, “The members of the Jeju Provincial Council are independent organizations. The chairman and the lawmaker are not in a subordinate relationship.”

“In addition, based on the power of the Democratic Party to occupy the vast majority of seats, the Democratic Party’s unilateral monopoly in the Jeju Provincial Council is deepening.”

The politics of the Jeju region have been hotly debated right before the second airport public opinion poll.

Ahead of the public opinion poll, an agreement between Jeju Island and the Jeju Provincial Council was reached, but it was not properly observed.

The Power of the People The Jeju DoDang decided to set the position in favor of the 2nd airport as the party’s argument, and then began to promote the streets, and some Jeju-do lawmakers belonging to the Democratic Party also openly raised their opposition to the social network (SNS), and indirectly jumped into the pros and cons .

Rather than taking a neutral stance to resolve the conflict, both the opposition parties are criticizing each other and fighting politically.
