[LEAD]
With the Supreme Court's decision, tensions have erupted across the political arena.
The Democratic Party fiercely denounced the Supreme Court's decision, calling it an unjust intervention in the presidential election.

Democratic Party presidential candidate Lee Jae-myung heard that his election law violation case was remanded while on his campaign trail.

The law is also agreed on by the public. So, the will of the people is most important and that's what I will follow.

The DP convened an emergency general assembly.

The opposition party members denounced the ruling as a political trial in which the Supreme Court took away people's choice by interfering with the presidential election.

It's been revealed that they have impure intentions to snare and shackle the promising presidential candidate with overwhelming support.

Meanwhile, the People Power Party welcomed the court's decision as a ruling led by common sense and the restoration of justice.

The court confirmed that Lee distorted people's decision by sharing false information. That is enough to disqualify him as a presidential candidate.

Other presidential hopefuls joined the attack on Lee.

I urge him to realize the strictness and severity of the law and step down.

It's clear that Lee won't give up. I will defeat him by a large margin.

It's generally projected that the final verdict for Lee is unlikely to be delivered before the presidential election.

But the political circle is expected to remain chaotic until the election.
