Before the plenary session of the National Assembly on the 26th, all government ministries opposed the ‘Promulgation Law of the Special Law for the Construction of the New Gadeokdo Airport’ (Gadeokdo Special Law) promoted by the Democratic Party . It is rare for the relevant ministries to curb the policies pushed by the ruling party, which means that there are many problems with the New Gadeokdo Airport project.
According to a review report by the National Assembly, the Ministry of Land, Transport and Maritime Affairs, the Ministry of Land, Transport and Maritime Affairs determined that the Gadeokdo Special Law was inadequate on seven points, including safety, environment, economy and accessibility. . First, there is a high risk of safety accidents due to the overlapping airspace of Jinhae Airfield, and there is a high risk of ground subsidence due to the deep surrounding waters. Furthermore, it is common for airports to enact a special law after determining their location through various reviews, but the Ministry of Lands, Infrastructure and Transportation noted that this special law ignored such procedures. The Ministry of Strategy and Finance also said that “the new Gadeokdo airport must undergo a preliminary feasibility review like any other project and then undergo a preliminary feasibility check”, and the Ministry of Justice said that “there is a risk of violate due process and equality. ” principles. “On the 19th, the National Territorial Commission indicated the behavior of the exemption of the preliminary feasibility study and the reduction of the preliminary feasibility study in special law. The Ministry of Lands, Infrastructure and Transportation said:” If you do not oppose the project of up to 28 trillion won, it is a violation of the duties of public officials. ”Moreover, on the same day, the Daegu-Gyeongbuk New Airport Special Construction Law did not even cross the threshold of the National Territorial Commission against the ruling party Even if the April elections had been held in Daegu and Busan at the same time, it is questionable whether the passports would have been selectively processed under the Gadeokdo Special Law.
If a new airport is promoted by ignoring the principles and procedures on Gadeokdo Island, which has already been evaluated last in the airport location, confidence in national politics will be undermined and regional conflict and division of opinion will likely result. national. If Busan needs an international gateway airport, it is normal to design a long-term plan based on efficiency and cost rather than launching an election campaign. If the Gadeokdo Special Law is passed by political logic, populism will inevitably spill over to attract national projects in specific regions. To avoid such bad precedents, it is necessary to reconsider the treatment of the Special Law on Gadukdo.
