On the 29th, Rep. Song Eon-seok of the People Power Party criticized the creation of the Honam semiconductor cluster, saying, “It is not a market economy, but the idea of a dictatorial economy that will make even the military regime cry.” Rep. Song wrote on his Facebook page that day, “The Lee Jae-myung government has already established the Honam semiconductor cluster as a fait accompli and has revealed its recognition that the government will design even the flow of funds that will be formed by the future semiconductor boom.” He said, “The role of the government is not to determine the direction of money, but to create an environment in which companies can freely invest and grow.” He said, “We should not choose regions and force investments like we do now.” He then pointed out, “The bigger problem is that while pursuing national strategic projects worth hundreds of trillions of won, they are not providing objective evidence as to why it should be Honam.” Rep. Song said, “Semiconductors, which are a national strategic industry, should be decided by the market and competitiveness, not politics,” and “It should not be a means of political compensation for a specific region.” He said, “The Lee Jae-myung government is a power-oriented government.” A pushing arc
