The Democratic Party strongly opposed the prosecution's recent indictment, calling it 'forced and absurd' and 'despicable political oppression.'

They emphasized that the police investigation had revealed no wrongdoing by Representative Lee Jae-myung.

Representative Lee Jae-myung, who attended an internal event related to people's livelihood, mentioned harmony and coexistence.

The Democratic Party expressed its intention to support with a legal team for Representative Lee's appeal regarding the election law violation.

[Jo Seoung-lae/Democratic Party Spokesperson: "We will proceed with possible combinations or support in areas that can be examined, such as directly coming up with a legal team."]

They reiterated their commitment to enforcing the special prosecutor law regarding Kim Keon-hee and focused on pressuring the ruling party.

[Park Chan-dae/Democratic Party Floor Leader: "If you refuse the special prosecutor, it will only hasten the downfall of the Yoon Suk Yeol administration. The public will not give up, and the Democratic Party will also push until it is enforced."]

The Democratic Party made it clear that if President Yoon requests reconsideration, they will re-vote in the plenary session on Nov. 28.

Members of the party, in addition to one-person protests, will begin a tent assembly and plan another outdoor rally this weekend with like-minded opposition parties and civic groups.
