In a statement, candidate Lee said, "The rejection of Hwaseong City's action plan is a victory achieved by the citizens of Osan and the residents of Dongtan," but emphasized that, "This decision is not the end, but the beginning."


He continued, "The rejection should not be a temporary measure or a political calculation ahead of the election," stressing that, "The issue of the large-scale logistics center in Dongtan 2 is directly related to the safety of citizens, and it is time for clear political responsibility and positions."


Candidate Lee made a public proposal specifically targeting the mayoral candidates of Hwaseong and Osan.


He stated, "Each candidate must make their position clear on whether they support or oppose the construction of the Dongtan 2 logistics center," adding, "Remaining silent or withholding one’s stance on an issue that concerns the lives and safety of citizens is not responsible politics."


He further warned, "The Dongtan 2 logistics center will cause significant harm to the daily lives and safety of Dongtan residents and Osan citizens," and expressed concern that, "If the project proceeds, Osan could turn into a 'traffic prison' with more than 10,000 cargo trucks entering the city every day."


Accordingly, candidate Lee officially proposed that mayoral candidates of Hwaseong and Osan who support the 'full cancellation' of the Dongtan 2 logistics center adopt this stance as a joint campaign pledge, in order to help voters make informed decisions.
