Han Byeong-do, the floor leader of the Democratic Party, described the recent announcement by the Lee Jae-myung administration regarding the relocation of administrative agencies as a "practical step toward local-led growth beyond the concentration in the metropolitan area."
During a National Assembly meeting on October 15, Han stated, "The Democratic Party welcomes the decision to relocate administrative agencies by the Lee Jae-myung government. We will work with the government to turn this accumulation of small and large actions into concrete results for balanced national development."
He added, "We will prioritize living conditions such as housing, education, and transportation to ensure that the relocating agencies can continue their operations smoothly. We will also expedite the passage of the amendment to the Happy City Act, which is necessary for the relocation of the Ministry of Justice and other foreign and security agencies, and secure the necessary budgets and facilities."
Han also pressured Seoul Mayor Oh Se-hoon and the People Power Party during the National Assembly's administrative safety committee meeting, urging them to cooperate on real estate supply measures in Seoul.
"Mayor Oh claims that the supply base has collapsed due to his predecessor. Instead of blaming others, he should present alternatives that can support a rapid supply of housing through discussions with the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport," Han emphasized. "The development of Yongsan Park can preserve green spaces while enabling swift housing supply. We aim to enhance the value of Yongsan Park by providing homes for young people and newlyweds."
He concluded, "The Democratic Party will review solutions during today's National Assembly meeting. We will mobilize all available legislative and policy tools to prioritize rapid housing supply. I urge the Seoul city government and the People Power Party to join forces for housing stability."
