Lee, who is important for victory in April, is Busan again in 8 days
Desperately desperate for victory in the April election, which will be the benchmark for the success or failure of the party’s representative, Lee is working hard on Busan. Lee, who visited Busan after 8 days, said at the Supreme Council’s meeting held at the Busan City Hall that day, “I will not offer any more hope torture.” I will go.” It promised a speed battle at Gadeokdo New Airport, the biggest issue in the region, and set out to target the vote. Representative Lee continued, “We will help revitalize Busan’s economy as a top priority,” and emphasized, “If infrastructure development such as Gadeokdo New Airport and the second stage development of the North Port are carried out together, a new vitality will be created in the Busan economy.
The prosecution apologized for indicting former Busan Mayor Oh Geo-don on charges such as forcible harassment the day before, saying, “I am very sorry to the victims, and I am very sorry to the citizens of Busan and the people.” In addition to the pre-election for the former mayor’s sexual misconduct, the number of victims of sexual harassment increased to two during the prosecution process, and the public sentiment became cold.

Representative Lee’s efforts in Busan are due to the expectation that the recent public sentiment of Busan has become friendly with the Gadeokdo new airport issue. In a call with the Hankook Ilbo on that day, a key party official said, “Recently, there are reports that the Busan atmosphere is improving on the back of the Supreme Council.” “It seems that the power of the people is also having an ambiguous appearance in the promotion of the Gadeokdo New Airport.” Explained.

Rising approval ratings Governor Lee is heading to Gwangju, the representative garden
Gyeonggi Governor Lee Jae-myeong, who has an advantage over Lee in recent polls, visited Gwangju on a schedule of two days and one night from the 28th. On the first day of his visit, Governor Lee, who visited the May 18 National Cemetery on a closed schedule, left a message in the guestbook saying, “My social mother, Gwangju, is always in my heart.” Governor Lee also visited the May 18 mother’s house where the bereaved families of the May 18 Democratization Movement gathered and attended the agreement ceremony for the’Racial Intelligence Healthcare Platform Construction Project’ held at Gwangju City Hall. However, the meeting with the Democratic Party lawmakers in the Gwangju area, which was originally planned, was canceled in consideration of the spread of the novel coronavirus infection (Corona 19).
Honam is the garden of the Democratic Party and the hometown of Lee, a solid foundation for Lee’s support. Recently, however, Democratic Party lawmaker Min Hyung-bae (Gwangju mine) declared his support for Governor Lee, and public sentiment toward the president of the passport is fluctuating. This is why Governor Lee’s visit to Gwangju itself seems unusual.
Governor Lee’s remarks during his visit to Gwangju are also significant. He emphasized the importance of Honam, saying, “It is a historical fact that Gwangju or Honam has tremendous political power in the democratic reform camp, and that is still a reality.” He said, “Regarding the recent evaluation of Honam’s (high approval ratings, etc.), it is the choice of those who evaluate it.” “(Gyeonggi) As mayor of Seongnam and Gyeonggi governor, I think that the encouragement or expectations were reflected because they made small achievements in their given work. I do” he said.
