Two days before the first trial of the perjury teacher case of Lee Jae-myung, chairman of the Democratic Party of Korea, the Democratic Party of Korea will launch its fourth outdoor rally to denounce the regime.
The People's Power urged Lee to stop the court intimidation protest if he truly trusts the judiciary.
I'm connecting you with a reporter from the National Assembly. Reporter Lim Sungjae!
Chairman Lee Jae-myung will also attend the Democratic Party's rally, right?
[Reporter]
Representative Lee Jae-myung will attend a rally in Gwanghwamun, Seoul at 5:30 p.m. to condemn the regime and urge the special prosecution.
This is the Democratic Party's fourth outdoor rally after the 2nd, 9th, and 16th.
The party leadership will participate, but Lee will not speak separately.
This seems to be a judgment that two days before the first trial of perjury teachers, they will be conscious of public opinion and refrain from unnecessary stimulation of the judiciary.
In fact, in his public remarks at the leadership meeting yesterday, Lee said that while he could criticize the ruling, it was not advisable to hold the entire judiciary together and condemn it.
At the same time, he said he believed in the judiciary of the Republic of Korea, which has protected democracy and human rights in accordance with the Constitution, and also called for a thorough guarantee of independence of the judiciary.
At today's rally, it was reported that the party decided to refrain from wearing blue clothes, the party's symbolic color, as much as possible, which is also read in the same context.
The party leaders plan to join the civic march organized by a group of progressive civic groups in a personal capacity after the rally ends.

The People's Power criticized the Democratic Party's outdoor rally yesterday with Chairman Lee Jae-myung's remarks that he believes in the judiciary.
In a commentary, floor spokesman Jo Ji-yeon urged Lee to immediately stop the court intimidation protests if he truly trusts the judiciary.
Just changing the outer packaging of the protest does not change the nature of the "court intimidation" for Lee's bulletproof body.
It also listed the so-called "crime of law distortion," "crime of prohibiting targeted investigations" and "impeachment of prosecutors" that the Democratic Party has pushed for, and demanded that Lee himself stop the Democratic Party's attempts to neutralize the judicial system.
Party leaders, including Chairman Han Dong-hoon, seem to be closely watching the situation on the weekend ahead of Lee's upcoming first trial sentence, without setting any public schedules.
However, internal strife over the controversy over the "party member bulletin board" that criticized President Yoon and his wife in the name of representative Han and his family remains.Rep. Kim Ki-hyun, who is considered a "pro-yoon" of
, repeatedly urged him to end the issue before the first trial of Lee's perjury teacher ruling, saying on his SNS, "How can Han lead the change and reform of the party only when he is not confident?"
