Amid the passing of the National Assembly’s plenary session of the’Special Act for the Construction of New Airports on Gadeok Island’, the Citizens’ Federation for Economic Justice Practices (Gyeongsilryeon), a progressive civic group, and the Justice Party strongly criticized Gadeokdo Island’s new airport as’the ticketing airport of the Moon Jae-in administration’.
Justice Party Chief Spokesperson Chung Ho-jin said in a briefing on the 26th, “The provisional National Assembly in February has turned into a ticketing parliament for the enforcement of the’Gadeokdo New Airport Special Act’, which is a bait for voting by-election, rather than a public welfare parliament.” He criticized him as being a very inappropriate behavior for joining the ticketing airport.
Chief spokesman Jeong pointed out, “If (Gadeokdo New Airport) is more than the four major rivers, it is more or not less.”
Gyeongsilryeon also said in a commentary on the day, “The airport construction should be carried out according to the centennial system, but the political group is begging only for votes without procedures, standards, and justifications.” I will strongly raise the issue,” he said.
In particular, the Gyeongsilryeon said in the’Gadeokdo New Airport Special Act Review Report’ submitted by the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport to the National Assembly that the total construction cost of the new airport was 28.600 trillion won. “The cost will exceed 40 trillion won. “Would even the criticized Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport oppose it?”
Daegu Mayor Kwon Young-jin also said on his Facebook page on the 26th, “To win the embarrassing and desperate (Busan Mayor) by-election, Gimhae New Airport, which was decided according to democratic procedures four years ago, was canceled without convincing reason, and the Gadeokdo New Airport Special Law was in the by-election. Using it is like a mean ticketing act,” he criticized.
