In addition, the Democratic Party of Korea held a large-scale rally in downtown Seoul and urged the special prosecution to accept the allegations of the alleged manipulation of state affairs by President Yoon Suk Yeol and his wife.

Representative Lee Jae-myung called for the 2016 candlelight vigil, which called for the impeachment of former President Park Geun Hye, to take action to judge unfair power.

Democrats in blue filled half the road from Seoul Station to Sungnyemun Gate.

We gathered at an outdoor rally at the party level to condemn President Yoon Suk Yeol and his wife, who have recently been embroiled in suspicions of meddling in the nomination with Myung Tae-kyun.

The party leadership on the floor poured out sharp words, including mentioning the president's resignation.

[Iron Ju / Minjoo Party of Korea Supreme Council member: President Yoon Suk Yeol, stop coming down. I can't stand it, stop coming down.]

Fairness and common sense, as well as people's livelihoods, security, and democracy, have all collapsed in three years, he said, raising his voice that the people should take direct action now.

Representative Lee Jae-myung reminded me of the candlelight vigil that triggered the impeachment of former President Park Geun Hye in 2016, saying that those who are not responsible dominate the state affairs and that reckless and magical are shaking the state affairs.

President
Yoon asked President Kim Gun-hee to accept the Special Prosecutor Act and take emergency measures for people's livelihood, and the ruling party to follow the public sentiment without paying attention to Yongsan.

The Democratic Party of Korea decided to deal with the Kim Special Counsel Act, which was proposed for the third time at the National Assembly plenary session on the 14th, and launch a signature campaign for 10 million people to carry it out.

The very next day, the first trial of Lee Jae-myung's violation of the election law is scheduled, and the political situation is expected to fall into turmoil.
