The People's Power continued its general offensive against the Democratic Party of Korea, which pushed ahead with the outdoor rally on the day after the first trial of Lee Jae-myung, saying it was the worst reason for aggravating sentencing.
CEO Han Dong-hoon reiterated that the red light was on Lee's presidential ticket, saying, "It doesn't make any difference even if it takes time."

The day after Lee Jae-myung, the leader of the Democratic Party, was sentenced to be deprived of his right to vote, Han Dong-hoon, the leader of the People's Power, reminded him of a piece he wrote in June.
It was written that representative Lee regards the election of the president as a way out of prison, but the trial will not be stopped even if he becomes president,
This time, he added, 'It doesn't change if you forcefully drag your time'.Representative
told YTN that the Democratic Party would like to hold a presidential election before the results of Lee's various trials are confirmed, but he also stressed that his eligibility to run will disappear and be invalidated even if he continues to win the election.
The ruling party seems to expect a heavier sentence in the case of Lee's perjury teacher, which is scheduled to be sentenced in the first trial on the 25th.
In last year's arrest examination, there was a judgment that the perjury teacher charge would be cleared, and the Democratic Party's off-the-shelf rally was considered a threat to the judge, which would serve as the worst reason for aggravating sentencing.
[Kim Hye-ran / People's Power Spokesperson: If you pressure the judiciary by leading the intimidating demonstration of the judge, a heavy sentence is inevitable for the court as it cannot be found even after washing its eyes]Representative
went one step further, saying that it is possible to be arrested in court without the consent of the National Assembly because the contents of perjury teachers were included when the motion for Lee's arrest was passed by the National Assembly in the past.
[Han Dong-hoon / Then Minister of Justice (September last year): This perjury was not just perjury, but perjury that could change the outcome of the trial directly related to the outcome of the trial, and as a result, Governor Lee Jae-myung was able to run for president after safely finishing his term as governor of Gyeonggi Province.]
Amid calls from within the ruling party for Lee to resign, the legislative process is also speeding up to pressure the Democratic Party to return 43.4 billion won in presidential election expenses.
The purpose is to make bills before Representative Lee's conviction, so that the cost of returning it due to a satellite party or a political party split is not taken away.
The ruling party, which took the opportunity to fight back as a result of Lee's first trial, expects to continue the momentum to maintain the single team even when the special prosecutor Kim Gun-hee's law is re-voted, which is expected to be on the 28th.
However, Rep. Lee Joon-seok of the New Reform Party, who was the leader of the People's Power Party, is expected to act as a variable in his argument to support the president and his wife's alleged involvement in the nomination.
