Lee Jae-myung, the leader of the Democratic Party of Korea, who was indicted for the sixth time on charges of misappropriating corporate cards, criticized the prosecution for handing him over to trial without evidence.

The Democratic Party of Korea has started a turnaround with a rental offensive, highlighting various suspicions surrounding Myung Tae-kyun.

Representative Lee Jae-myung pointed out that the prosecution's logic is that the governor must have known about the use of corporate cards used by the front-line department when he was governor of Gyeonggi Province.

In the end, he mentioned Brazil's president, Lula, who was arrested on bribery charges after leaving office and was acquitted and won a third term, saying he was prosecuted only by possibility, although there is no evidence.

The party's supreme council warned that abuse of power would not be forgiven, but the party's leadership also set the day as a mad political retaliation by the prosecution's dictatorship.

The Democratic Party of Korea is struggling to re-establish the momentum for the special prosecution law for Kim Gun-hee, who passed the National Assembly, ahead of Lee's additional trial.

After the recording of the phone call between President Yoon Suk Yeol and Myung Tae-kyun was released, Yoon Han-hong, a member of the People's Power, who is considered the "original Yoon nuclear officer," launched a wave of attacks, saying that it was revealed that he had cajoled Myung.Through an acquaintance of

, the president asked for the release of additional recordings saying he would get angry or cut ties with Myung.

Suspicions are spreading that Myung was involved in Changwon City's business in nomination transactions and public opinion manipulation, but the prosecution's investigation repeatedly pressured the special prosecutor to accept it, saying it was unreliable.

The Democratic Party is also considering raising a bill to impeach the prosecution's command, which cleared Kim of the alleged manipulation of the stock price, at the plenary session on the 28th, when the special prosecution law is expected to be re-voted.

Lee Jae-myung's strategy seems to be to break through the atmosphere of confusion due to judicial risks, and public opinion is expected to fluctuate once again depending on the results of the first trial on the 25th.
