“대전·충남 통합만 표류… 책임은 국민의힘에 있다” “가장 먼저 제안했지만 가장 뒤처져… 김태흠·이장우·장동혁 책임 커”
"어떻게 이 지경이 됐습니까?" 로 시작된 글에서 양 전 지사는 “광주·전남은 법안이 통과되고, 대구·경북은 협의에 이르렀지만 대전·충남만 방치됐다”며 “행정통합을 가장 먼저 제안하고 법안을 낸 곳이 대전·충남인데, 결과적으로 꼴찌가 됐다”고 비판했다.
양승조 전 지사는 “김태흠 지사는 자신이 제안한 통합을 ‘알맹이 없는 찐빵’이라며 뒤집었고, 이장우 대전시장은 시민을 설득해야 할 위치에서 오히려 반대에 앞장섰다”며 “보령 출신인 장동혁 국민의힘 대표 역시 무관심으로 일관했다”고 지적했다.
양 전 지사는 또 “대구·경북 의원들은 내부 찬반투표와 강력한 압박 끝에 당내 합의를 이끌어냈지만, 국민의힘 충청권 의원들은 침묵만 지켰다”며 “360만 대전·충남 시도민의 미래가 당리당략에 묻혔다”고 주장했다.
그는 이어 “이재명 정부는 4년간 20조 원 규모의 재정 지원과 대폭적인 권한 이양을 약속했었다”며 “이 기회를 외면한 것은 국민의힘이며, 김태흠 지사와 이장우 시장, 장동혁 대표가 충청의 미래를 가로막았다”고 비판했다.
양승조 전 지사는 “대전·충남 통합의 문은 반드시 다시 열어야 한다”며 “국민의힘이 지금이라도 특별법 제정에 찬성해달라. 대구·경북도 찬성한 만큼 대전·충남만 반대할 이유가 없다”고 강조했다.
그는 끝으로 “3월 3일 임시국회 종료 전까지 시간이 남아 있다. 360만 대전·충남 시민이 지켜보고 있다”고 덧붙였다.

Former South Chungcheong Province Governor Yang Seung-jo: "Only Daejeon and South Chungcheong Province Integration Adrift... Responsibility Lies with the People Power Party"
"We Were the First to Propose, but We're the Last to Propose... Kim Tae-heum, Lee Jang-woo, and Jang Dong-hyuk Are Particularly Responsible"
Former South Chungcheong Province Governor Yang Seung-jo expressed strong regret over the exclusion of the Daejeon and South Chungcheong Province Administrative Integration Special Act from the National Assembly discussion on his social media account on the evening of the 26th, directly criticizing the People Power Party leadership and figures from the Chungcheong region.
In a post beginning with "How did things get to this point?", Yang criticized, "Gwangju and South Jeolla Province passed the bill, and Daegu and North Gyeongsang Province reached an agreement, but Daejeon and South Chungcheong Province were left behind. Daejeon and South Chungcheong Province were the first to propose and submit the bill for administrative integration, yet they ended up last."
Former Governor Yang Seung-jo criticized, "Governor Kim Tae-heum overturned his proposed merger, calling it 'an empty bun,' and Daejeon Mayor Lee Jang-woo, who should have been persuading the citizens, instead spearheaded the opposition." He added, "People Power Party leader Jang Dong-hyuk, a native of Boryeong, also remained indifferent."
Yang further argued, "While Daegu and North Gyeongsang lawmakers achieved an internal agreement through internal votes and intense pressure, People Power Party lawmakers in the Chungcheong region remained silent. The future of the 3.6 million residents of Daejeon and South Chungcheong Province was buried in partisan interests."
He continued, "The Lee Jae-myung administration promised 20 trillion won in financial support and a significant devolution of authority over four years. It was the People Power Party that turned a blind eye to this opportunity. Governor Kim Tae-heum, Mayor Lee Jang-woo, and People Power Party leader Jang Dong-hyuk blocked Chungcheong's future."
Former Governor Yang Seung-jo emphasized, "The door to the integration of Daejeon and South Chungcheong Province must be reopened. I urge the People Power Party to support the enactment of the special law, even now. Since Daegu and North Gyeongsang Province have also supported it, there's no reason for Daejeon and South Chungcheong Province to oppose it alone."
He concluded, "There's still time left before the extraordinary session of the National Assembly ends on March 3rd. 3.6 million citizens of Daejeon and South Chungcheong Province are watching." <저작권자 ⓒ 브레이크뉴스대전세종충청 무단전재 및 재배포 금지>
