Gunwi County Council Fails to Reach Conclusion on Daegu Incorporation... Issues Statement

[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Dong-guk Lee] On the 3rd, the Gunwi County Council in Gyeongbuk issued a statement saying, "Among the provincial council members who participated in the vote, 53 signed for Gunwi County's incorporation into Daegu on July 30 last year," and "However, 25 of them changed their minds and hid behind the mask of anonymity to make a different choice," criticizing them.

"The joint agreement including the incorporation into Daegu was a condition for Gunwi County to apply for the joint candidate site," it explained, "It was not a byproduct of the integrated new airport construction, but a prerequisite condition for Gunwi County to choose a joint candidate site rather than a single candidate site."

Also, the Gunwi County Council demanded, "The Gyeongsangbuk-do Council, which broke its promise, should apologize to the residents of Gunwi County and the citizens of Daegu and Gyeongbuk and present a clear position on Gunwi County's incorporation into Daegu."

It continued, "The Ministry of the Interior and Safety must complete Gunwi County's incorporation into Daegu within this year," and stated, "Our Gunwi County Council will have to reconsider the construction of the integrated new airport in Gunwi County if this is not enforced."

Meanwhile, on the 2nd, opposition spread as the Gyeongbuk Provincial Council decided not to express support or opposition after discussions on the 'Gyeongsangbuk-do jurisdiction change plan' regarding the 'Gunwi County incorporation into Daegu plan.'

Gunwi County's incorporation into Daegu was a promise made to Gunwi County when deciding the relocation site of the Daegu-Gyeongbuk Integrated New Airport last year.
