<Reporter> Lee Jae-
myung, the representative of the Democratic Party, visited Incheon with the leadership.
He emphasized public livelihood and security by mentioning the situation of the Yoon Seok-yeol government, but criticism of the prosecution's investigation was not missing.
[Lee Jae-myeong/Democratic Party Representative (Yesterday): I will not give in to the violent distortion and manipulation attempts of the prosecution regime.
I will confidently and resolutely crush their attempts to destroy the opposition and destroy democracy.] In
the afternoon, the level of speech in front of supporters rose higher.
[Lee Jae-myeong/Democratic Party representative (yesterday): If you use public authority for private revenge, is this a thief or a public official, everyone!
Did you create a case that didn't exist and gave him the power to eliminate the political opponents!]
Representative Lee is known to highlight the aspect of an alternative party that emphasizes people's livelihood at a New Year's press conference this morning.
It is a move to dispel his so-called judicial risk and dig into the public sentiment of the middle class along with rallying supporters.
At the party level, along with a visit to the Supreme Prosecutor's Office, we are also considering holding a general meeting of lawmakers in front of the presidential office or Seongnam branch office.
The power of the people criticized the Democratic Party for degenerating into a bulletproof party.
[Jeong Jin-seok/Chairman of the People's Power Emergency Response Committee: Did you see Lee Jae-myung's representative appearing at the prosecution?
What kind of independence fighter are you, a democracy fighter?
This is the reality of today's disastrous first opposition party.]
As the possibility of additional summons for Lee is being discussed, a battle of criticism from the opposition parties over the prosecution's investigation is expected to continue.
