Park Dong-sik, mayor of Sacheon, opposes the merger of Jinju and Sacheon.

Statement on the Integrated Proposal for Jinju City
“Unilateral Proposal ahead of the Establishment of Space Agency”, ‘A month after Mayor Cho Gyu-il of Jinju, South Gyeongsang Province, made the ‘Jinju-Sacheon administrative integration proposal,’ Mayor Park Dong-sik of Sacheon clearly expressed his opposition.’,
,
, ‘ On the 23rd, Mayor Park stated in a statement, “This proposal, made at a time when efforts are being made for the establishment of the Space Agency in Sacheon for the development of the space industry and local economy, is very inappropriate in terms of timing, procedures, and justification.” He pointed out that proposing a topic that has not even been discussed at a time when preparations are being made for a new leap with the establishment of the Space Agency is a ‘political intention’ to put a stop to it.’,
,
, ‘ Earlier, Mayor Cho proposed administrative integration at a press conference held a week before the opening of the Space Agency on the 20th of last month, emphasizing the historical significance of the two cities, identical living zones, and the expansion potential of the space industry.’,
,
, ‘ Mayor Park underscored the need for independent administrative operations and individual development strategies for the mutual growth of the two cities.’,
