[속보] 이 대통령 “광역 행정 통합, 현실적으로 다음 지선까지 불가능”

President Lee stated that the integration of metropolitan administrative functions is realistically impossible before the next local elections. He explained that the current administrative system is not prepared for such a significant reform within the given timeframe. The President emphasized the need for thorough preparation and consensus-building before proceeding with such a large-scale administrative restructuring. This decision indicates a cautious approach to major administrative changes, prioritizing feasibility and public agreement.
