With the "early presidential election" on the lips due to the impact of Yoon Suk Yeol's martial law, the ruling party has not forgotten the check against the Democratic Party.

Some even said that Lee Jae-myung would do something worse than martial law, but analysts say there is a growing sense of crisis within the ruling party that it should not be pushed back by the Democratic Party.

"People with common sense would agree that Lee Jae-myung, the leader of the Democratic Party, is a person who would do something worse than martial law.""

This is an SNS post posted by Park Jung-hoon, a member of the People's Power Party, saying how many lives were sacrificed due to Lee's fault.

Following the high-level remarks, Representative Lee's trial leak, which had been buried under the impeachment, was also summoned again.

Representative Joo Jin-woo, chairman of the party's legal advisory committee, raised suspicions of a "delay in trial tricks," saying that representative Lee has not appointed a lawyer for nearly a month after the first trial was sentenced.

It is intended to deliberately delay receiving notice of receipt of litigation records so that the case does not start, but he also emphasized that there have been cases in which Democratic Party lawmakers have held trials for nearly two months in this way.

[Joo Jin-woo / People's Power: It's hard to say that he's not receiving it because he doesn't have a place to receive it as the leader of the opposition party or because he doesn't know he's on trial in the court.]

Analysts say that the ruling party's re-emergence of the weaknesses of representative Lee, who receives five trials, despite being on the defensive in the aftermath of martial law has triggered a sense of crisis that it cannot give up the government after failing to attack properly.

The opposition party should prevent the early presidential election from flowing in the Democratic Party's favor, as the opposition party has been on the impeachment offensive day after day and there are talks of resignation within the ruling party.

Some pointed out that the ruling party taking the lead in talking about the special prosecutor's early resignation would only undermine the negotiating power against the opposition party.

[Jang Dong-hyuk / People's Power: If we share the direction of how to solve this situation while solving this problem with a sense of speed and stability without dividing the public opinion....]

The ruling party, which shrank a week after martial law, is also trying to stretch again.

However, there is a consensus that the counterattack towards the Democratic Party cannot be the only way out, and public sentiment is getting worse after the martial law, so the leadership's struggles are deepening.
