[Asia Economy Reporter Hwang Seoyul] The specialized construction industry has urged presidential candidates, the National Assembly, and the government to restore the production system to its original state.

Organizations representing specialized construction contractors, including the Korea Specialty Contractors Association, the Korea Mechanical Equipment Construction Association, and the Korea Facility Maintenance Association, formed the 'Survival Rights Countermeasures Committee' and held a 'Rally to Urge Guarantee of Survival Rights for Specialized Construction' in front of the National Assembly in Yeouido on the afternoon of the 17th.

On this day, the groups emphasized, "The abolition of business area regulations and mutual market opening among construction sectors are fostering conflicts among construction participants," and added, "The collapse of specialized construction, which is directly responsible for on-site construction, inevitably leads to public harm such as construction safety accidents and deterioration of construction quality." They demanded that presidential candidates from each party, the National Assembly, and authorities restore the production system to its original state. The groups appealed, "We urge presidential candidates to discard related policies and create a fair and reasonable construction industry."

The organizations also announced plans for an additional rally in front of the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport on the 24th.
