Busan Gijang County Mayor Oh Gyuseok, Jang-an-eup Myeongrye-ri 'Strong Opposition to Landfill Site'

Another Solo Protest in Front of Busan City Hall... Will Continue Until Busan City Rejects

On the 19th at 10:30 AM, Oh Gyu-seok, the mayor of Busan's Gijang County, held his sixth solo protest in front of Busan City Hall to firmly oppose the industrial waste landfill project plan in the Myeongnye-ri area of Jangan-eup.

[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kim Yong-woo] Are they going to permit an industrial waste landfill on pristine land that must be preserved?

Oh Gyu-seok, the mayor of Busan's Gijang-gun, is seriously 'furious.' On the morning of the 19th at 10:30 AM, he gripped placards tightly with both hands in front of Busan City Hall. This is already his sixth solo protest.

It has been half a month since he firmly declared his resolute opposition to the industrial waste landfill project plan in the Myeongnye-ri area of Jangan-eup.

On the 3rd, Gijang-gun received a consultation letter from Busan City regarding a private industrial waste landfill project plan covering about 60,000 pyeong (approximately 198,000 square meters) at San 71-1, Myeongnye-ri, Jangan-eup.

Gijang-gun immediately sent a statement opposing the landfill development, a residents' resolution, and departmental review opinions to Busan City.

Mayor Oh is continuing his sixth solo protest to strongly convey the opposition of Gijang-gun and its residents once again.

Mayor Oh stated, “Gijang-gun is suffering tremendous damage not only to the environmental rights that residents should naturally enjoy but also to property rights due to various reckless developments and environmental destruction. We cannot allow unimaginable suffering in the form of a waste landfill, which offers neither safety nor welfare to local residents,” firmly rejecting the plan.

He added, “Pursuing a 60,000-pyeong scale waste landfill project through private development, not public development, in a preservation green zone that must be conserved is an act that destroys a pristine natural environment.”

He also declared, “Since this matter grants enormous privileges to private businesses, as mayor, I will strongly fight until Busan City rejects the waste landfill plan.”
