The party leadership, including Lee Nak-yeon (second from the right of the previous row) and the representative of the Democratic Party, are looking at the panorama of the North Port after completing the supreme field committee of Busan-Ulsan-Gyeongnam and the budget policy meeting held at the Busan Port International Convention and Exhibition Center in Dong-gu, Busan on the 4th.

The Democratic Party, which entered Busan’s mayoral by-election in April next year, is expected to launch a gift package for the ‘New Gadeokdo Airport’, a long-awaited project in Busan. In order to promote the new Gadeokdo airport, it is necessary to revoke the existing government decision, ‘Expansion of the new Gimhae airport’, and the conflicts between the regions are evident. Yet the Democratic Party and the government, desperate for victory in Busan’s mayoral election next year, are in the mood to push it forward. It seems inevitable that the criticism of the electoral engineering calculations before the aftermath of the nomination of candidates is over.
A senior Democratic Party official, who is well aware of the situation in the Busan region, told Hankook Ilbo on the 5th: “I know that the government has caught up with the removal of the new Gimhae airport. “. I am looking forward to the end. “Prime Minister Chung Sye-gyun also attended the general meeting of the Budget and Liquidation Committee of the National Assembly on the same day and said,” We will fix the government’s position on the new airport in Gimhae on next month”.

The leader of the Democratic Party, Lee Nak-yeon, also visited Busan on the 4th and said: “We will quickly end the torture of hope in Busan, Ulsan and Gyeongnam (PK) in connection with the construction of the new airport on Gadeok Island.” Although the Verification Committee has yet to come to its conclusion, it is a nuance that it has leaned towards the ‘Construction of the New Gimhae Baekjihwa Airport and New Gadeokdo Airport’. As the security controversy over the new Gimhae airport grew, the government initiated a diagnosis at the Verification Committee level of the Prime Minister’s Office in December last year, and recently let legal authorities interpret the security of the new one. Gimhae airport.
The Democratic Party’s calculation is to capture PK’s public sentiment with the “New Gadeokdo Airport” card pointing to the Busan mayor’s election in April next year. In fact, the Democratic Party only secured three of the 18 seats in Busan during the 4-15 general election. Despite the overwhelming 174-seat victory, the defeat in Busan was the sole fault of the Democratic Party. Also, as next year’s elections will be held due to the sexual abuse incident of former Busan Mayor O Geodon of the Democratic Party, to win, we need a certain anti-war card to make up for it. It is very likely that the will of the Democratic Party has been fulfilled as it is expected that the force of the people, aware of the rehabilitation of the mayor of Busan, will not openly oppose the disappearance of the New Gimhae Airport.
However, the consequences of this are expected to be difficult as well. At the time of the decision to expand the new Gimhae airport in 2016, the government concluded that Gadeokdo Island was unsuitable for the location of the new airport through a decision made by a group of experts. If this is reversed, the objection to the appropriateness of the decision is expected to follow at that time. Strong resistance from Daegu and Gyeongbuk (TK), who wanted the new Miryang airport at this time, seems inevitable. Criticism of ignoring the regional conflict to win the elections can also follow as a label. A political official said that day: “If the Democratic Party brings the airport problem to the surface and wins the election, the headwinds can be minimized, but if not, it has to bear the burden and hold the 2022 presidential election. “.
