The Democratic Party announced on September 22 that it will actively support regions that have faced disadvantages due to their proximity to the Seoul metropolitan area.
Kim Min-seok, the party leader, attended a budget policy meeting at Incheon City Hall and stated, "Incheon and the border areas of Gyeonggi and Gangwon have had to endure disadvantages because they are close to the metropolitan area. We will take an interest in correcting this paradox." He emphasized, "We have opened the era of 7 trillion won in national budget for Incheon. The party and the government will strive to provide maximum support."
Han Byeong-do, the floor leader, also remarked, "We will secure national budget to resolve various regulatory issues in the border areas of Incheon, including Ganghwa and Ongjin, and ensure that the administrative restructuring in Incheon takes root. We will actively support projects that will lead to new growth in Incheon, such as expanding the metropolitan transportation network and establishing a foundation for innovation in the marine industry."
During the budget policy meeting, Incheon Mayor Park Chan-dae, a member of the Democratic Party, requested national budget support for key projects, including the establishment of a Bio Science Technology Institute, the creation of a national base for peaceful economic development in Ganghwa, the hosting of the G20 summit in 2028, national budget support for administrative restructuring, and the transition of the Incheon M bus to a semi-public system. The party leadership emphasized that it would actively reflect Mayor Park's requests.
