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 launched its fourth outdoor rally condemning the regime.

The People's Power urged Lee to stop the court intimidation protest if he truly trusts the judiciary.

The Democratic Party's rally has begun, right?

[Reporter]
A little while ago, the Democratic Party of Korea held a rally in Gwanghwamun, Seoul, to condemn the regime and urge the special prosecution.

This is the Democratic Party's fourth outdoor rally after the 2nd, 9th, and 16th.

With party leaders, including floor leader Park Chan-dae, on the stage of the rally, Lee Jae-myung was not seen at the beginning of the event.

Floor leader Park Chan-dae, who gave a speech, stressed that Kim Gun-hee should be investigated and punished in the same way as ordinary people.

Representative Lee did not speak in person, which seems to be a judgment that he will be conscious of public opinion and refrain from unnecessary provocation of the judiciary two days before the first trial of perjury.

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.

Spokesperson Song Young-hoon also said that all three previous rallies by the Democratic Party have failed, urging them not to deceive the people with lies and false production and to return to the path of people's livelihood.

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?"
