With the first trial of Lee Jae-myung, the leader of the Democratic Party of Korea, just a day away, the ruling party launched a general offensive against Lee Jae-myung.

The Democratic Party of Korea repeatedly insists that it is an unreasonable "political prosecution" by the prosecution, is confident of innocence, and plans to stage an off-the-shelf public opinion campaign.

The People's Power blasted the Democratic Party of Korea for even starting "self-inflicted marketing" ahead of the first trial of Lee Jae-myung's violation of the Public Official Election Act.

If representative Lee receives an invalid election sentence, the party will have to pay 43.4 billion won in election subsidies, but the Democratic Party of Korea is threatening the judge and misleading the people, saying that if this happens, the party will break down in the air.

[Han Dong-hoon / Representative of People's Power: There was an analysis that the return of 43.4 billion won would leave nearly 50 billion won in assets for the Democratic Party. I'd like to say that such 'self-harm marketing' doesn't work.]

Regardless of the results of the first trial, Lee said that he would agitate to destroy the constitutional order, and set the day that his sins will not disappear even if he incites public opinion.

At the same time, he pleaded guilty not only to the trial of the Public Official Election Act, but also to the perjury teacher case on the 25th, citing statistics.

[Kim Sang-hoon / Chairman of the People's Power Policy Committee: The first trial court said that only 10% of the cases charged with perjury and destruction of evidence were innocent. May there be a just judgment that will set the strict authority of the rule of law and judicial order straight....]

The Democratic Party of Korea is confident of Lee's innocence, but is paying keen attention to the outcome of the trial.

It is only a case in which the Yoon Suk Yeol regime mobilized prosecutors to prosecute politically to remove political opponents, and yet there is an atmosphere in which they are considering countermeasures after the sentence.

[Park Sung-joon / Deputy floor leader of the Democratic Party of Korea (SBS Radio's 'Kim Tae-hyun's Political Show'): Since there have been so many such talks, the party and the leadership are fully prepared for this (judgment).]

The Democratic Party is particularly focused on the "Lee Jae-myung not guilty" public opinion race.

A number of lawmakers and leadership members of the party's prosecution's anti-dictatorship committee plan to gather in front of the Seoul Central District Court before the ruling to condemn the prosecution's investigation and urge them to be acquitted.

[Han Jun-ho / Chairman of the Prosecution Dictatorship Committee of the Democratic Party of Korea (13th): I hope that the court will make the right judgment and withdraw from the prosecution's manipulation of cases and abuse of prosecution rights. As a fair judgment, falsehood can never beat the truth....]

In particular, the Democratic Innovation Conference, the largest pro-life organization, held a large-scale rally in front of the court,
On Saturday, the day after the ruling, the Democratic Party of Korea plans to seek a third round of out-of-the-way struggles to condemn President Yoon Suk Yeol and his wife.

Within the Democratic Party, the prevailing mood is that the "Lee Jae-myung solo system" will not be shaken much by any ruling.

However, if there is a "fine of more than 1 million won" that will deprive the party of the right to run for election when the Supreme Court is confirmed, it is also expected to have a significant impact on the political world as a whole.
