[HAN DONG HUN / Representative of the People's Power]
Put down the leadership of the People's Power Party. The resignation of the supreme council members caused the collapse of the supreme council, making it impossible to carry out normal duties as party leader anymore. I sincerely apologize to all the people suffering from this emergency martial law incident. Martial law in 2024 for Korea, an advanced country. How angry and disappointed you must have been. I'm very sorry to our supporters who are heartbroken by impeachment. With that in mind, I tried everything to find a better way to this country, not impeachment, but in the end, I couldn't. It's all because I'm not good enough. I'm sorry. Ladies and gentlemen, on the night of December 3rd, party leaders and lawmakers were the first to take the lead in preventing illegal martial law by the president produced by our party. I kept the Constitution and democracy. I think that's the real spirit of conservatism. I think it's the spirit of the people's power that I love.

If we sympathize with extremists like rigged election conspiracy theorists, extreme YouTubers, or are eroded by the horrors they produce commercially, there will be no future for conservatives. If martial law had not been lifted that night, bloodshed could have taken place between our citizens and our young soldiers who had taken to the streets since the next morning. That night, I was so afraid that I wouldn't be able to stop it. No matter how much the president produced by our party is misunderstood as if we are advocating illegal martial law with the military, betraying the spirit of conservatism and the brilliant achievements of our party to this great country and its people who have achieved industrialization and democratization at the same time.

When I was asked to resign at the general meeting of the National Assembly on the day before yesterday, a young reporter asked if I regret the approval of impeachment, which was the reason why I was expelled from the party leader. A lot of thoughts, and a lot of scenes in my life, were stroked for a second. It's very painful to think of our heartbroken supporters, but I still don't regret it. Because I promised not to betray the Republic of Korea and the sovereign people no matter what.

However, just because martial law is wrong does not justify the charges of runaway and crimes by the Democratic Party and its representative Lee Jae-myung. The timer for Lee Jae-myung's trial is going on without stopping. There aren't many left. Thank you to the people. I would also like to thank the people for their criticism. I would also like to thank my party comrades and our party officials. I hope the country goes well. Thank you.
