Jeju Governor Won Hee-ryong said on the 18th that “the opinion poll of Jeju residents for the second airport construction project in Jeju is collecting opinions for reference.”

Governor Won responded to the provincial questionnaire that was held in the main conference room of the Jeju Provincial Council that day.

Governor Won said: “The polls are not binding,” he said. “I’ll tell you clearly, but (this survey) is for gathering opinions, not for making decisions.”

He added: “It is desirable to hold a referendum to make a decision, but it is not possible to have a referendum that is not in accordance with the law, and it is not binding,” he said. “Because the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transportation has no referendum precedent, it is undesirable. (Jeju-do · Jeju-do Council) is worrying.”

He said: “If there is overwhelming opposition (as a result of public opinion polls), the decision maker, the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport, will think more carefully,” he said. “Currently, the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transportation will collect more opinions from Jeju residents before the final procedure and will respect them.” .

Governor Won said, “I will ensure that the polls are conducted as fairly as possible,” emphasizing: “If an impracticable plan is presented to a public opinion poll or if the poll itself is not objective and rational, it won’t be worth a referral. ”
