In response to the first trial conviction of Democratic Party Chairman Lee Jae-myung, he said that the power of the people is "a death knell" and pays homage to the judiciary's decision.

Representative Lee Jae-myung has expressed his intention to appeal first, but there is a clear atmosphere in the party that he is embarrassed that it is not believed.

I'm connecting you with a reporter from the National Assembly. Reporter PARK JEONG HYUN!

Please tell us about the political reaction.

Yes, right after the sentence, CEO Lee Jae-myung said today that this scene will also be a scene that will remain in Korean history and that he will appeal.

It is a difficult conclusion to accept, and I think the people will be able to reach a conclusion if they judge based on common sense and justice.

In fact, it seems that it is difficult to accept the first trial ruling.

There are no Democratic Party-level comments or messages yet.

Members of the party posted on social media after the sentence, and all at once took cover for Lee.

However, the party is also somewhat shocked by the guilty, especially the suspended sentence of prison sentence, as it was confident of innocence.

Chung Chung-rae, a lawmaker, posted a criticism on his SNS, saying, "I can't believe it, and I'm afraid of the public sentiment."

Representative Kim Yong-min said, "There is no way to refrain from being disastrous about the absurd outcome of the trial," and criticized the prosecution and the court that they should be prepared for the judgment of the people.

Rep. Kang Deuk-gu said, "I don't know how to accept the sentencing results, but I still believe in history and citizens, so please join me in tomorrow's presidential condemnation convention."

If the higher court confirms the penalty of more than 1 million won as this ruling is, Lee will be unable to run for president due to the deprivation of his right to run for election,

The Democratic Party is also in a position to return 43.4 billion won, which is the cost of the presidential election, to the NEC.

It is difficult for both Lee Jae-myung and the Democratic Party to avoid a blow, but as it is still the first trial, many predict that there will be no immediate impact, such as the shaking of Lee's one-party system as a result of today.

All of them say that the power of the people is attributable to all efforts.

CEO Han Dong-hoon posted a message on social media immediately after the sentence, saying he respects and respects the judiciary's decision to make a judgment according to the law despite the judge's intimidation and show of force.

Floor leader Choo Kyung-ho also met with reporters and demanded an apology, saying that no matter how many layers of the banks of BTS are stacked with the power of the giant opposition party, they will not be able to prevent the river of justice.

He also stressed to the judiciary to conclude the trial as soon as possible as the sentence of the first trial was delayed.

Senior spokesman Shin Dong-wook also issued a comment and urged Lee, who had been lying, to humbly accept the ruling and apologize.

At the same time, he established a day that other suspicions and irregularities surrounding CEO Lee would also result in a private inheritance.

Rep. Kim Ki-hyun also won the public sentiment and the rule of law won. Representative Na Kyung-won also raised her voice against Representative Lee Jae-myung not to hold people's livelihoods and politics as a hostage to Lee Jae-myung's innocence.

The aftermath of today's sentence is expected to have a big impact on the political situation in the future, and the first trial of Lee's perjury teacher case is also set to be sentenced 10 days later.
