– Preliminary candidate Park held a press conference in the briefing room of the Busan City Council on the 26th and declared, “We will form a bipartisan council for the construction of a new airport on Gadeok Island.”
Preliminary candidate Park said, “The Gadeokdo New Airport Special Act is scheduled to be passed at the National Assembly plenary session in the afternoon of today (26th). The new airport has been swayed by political logic for the past 20 years. “It has great significance to make it irreversible.”
Preliminary candidate Park added, “In a word, it is a great victory for the citizens of Busan. I would like to express my gratitude to the opposition lawmakers who took the lead in passing the alternative law.”
Preliminary candidate Park said, “Another international logistics hub airport will be established in Korea.” “If there is no aviation logistics hub airport in close proximity, it is difficult for new and logistics industries to develop. This is of great help not only to Busan but also to Korea. It will be a catalyst for the development of the entire southern region.”
In addition, he explained, “It can be a true national project only when the Gadeokdo New Airport is approached not with the passive view of creating a local airport, but with the vocation of expanding the competitiveness of Korea and achieving true regional balanced development.”
He added, “To solve all problems and build a new airport smoothly in accordance with the 2030 Expo, bipartisan cooperation is essential even in Boulgyeong,” he said. “In this context, when I become a mayor, I will resolve disagreements related to the construction of a new airport and “I will propose and put into practice the formation of a bipartisan council on this issue. As far as this matter is concerned, we will work together as much as possible in accordance with the recognition that there are no opposition parties.”
Park’s claim to be a’super-party consultative body’ is drawing attention in that it was made after President Moon Jae-in’s visit to Busan on the 25th.

However, the opposition party, including the power of the people, criticized President Moon’s visit to Busan on the 25th as’political intention with the by-election in mind.’
Preliminary Candidate Park said in his remarks on the day, “President Moon Jae-in visits Busan at this point to hold events related to Gadeokdo New Airport and Southeast Megacity, which are emerging as the biggest issues of the elections.” He said, “It is something Samcheok-dong knows that he came to help the Busan election in the end. The Gadeokdo New Airport and the Southeast Megacity initiative are large projects that determine the fate of Busan and furthermore, the fate of Booulkyung. The help of the President and politicians. Are always welcome, but refrain from political use.”
