1. ‘Attack on governor was wrong’
Committee opposing 2nd airport says issue should be decided at ballot box

Governor Won Hee-ryong was attacked by a protester Monday during a public debate about the construction of a second airport on the island, and the committee opposed to that project has expressed regret for the assault.

The assailant pelted Won, who is seeking re-election in June, with an egg and slapped him in the face.

The committee said all forms of violence run counter to local autonomy and democracy, and that the gubernatorial election should be decided by votes and votes alone.

Committee representatives said the attacker should be held responsible for his actions based on laws and principles but that the provincial government and the transport ministry should take the strong feelings that prompted the attack seriously.

제2공항 반대위 "폭력사태 깊은 유감"

제주 제2공항 성산읍 반대대책위원회는 보도자료를 내고 이번 원희룡 후보의 폭력사태에 대해 깊은 유감을 표명한다고 밝혔습니다.

지방자치와 민주주의를 위한 길에 그 어떤 폭력도 존재해서는 안 되며 선거는 유권자의 판단으로 이뤄지는 것이지 폭력으로 달성될 수 있는 것이 절대 아니라고 강조했습니다.

우발적인 불미스러운 일이 발생한 점에 대해 가해당사자가 마땅히 법과 원칙에 입각해 책임을 져야 하며 다만 이같은 사태 발생에 대해 제주도정과 국토부는 무겁게 받아드려야 한다고 덧붙였습니다.
