As the ruling on President Yoon Suk-yeol’s impeachment trial is reportedly being delayed longer than expected, the People Power Party is closely monitoring developments at the Constitutional Court.
Within the party, there is growing optimism about the possibility of the impeachment being dismissed or rejected. Let’s listen to the remarks made by Kwon Young-se, the emergency response committee chairman, during today’s leadership meeting.

He made extremely provocative remarks, telling others to watch their backs as if he’s a gangster. Given the series of mysterious deaths around Representative Lee Jae-myung already, such chilling comments cannot simply be dismissed as jokes. Representative Lee declared himself a judge by issuing a “Lee Jae-myung-style arrest warrant,” saying the acting president Choi Sang-mok could be detained for neglect of duty. He also proclaimed himself chief of police, claiming anyone could arrest people and even ordered his supporters, referred to as “gae-daughters,” to mobilize. Democratic Party lawmakers have attacked acting president Choi on social media, accusing him of neglecting his duties and egging on their extreme supporters, claiming they’ve arrested police multiple times at events. Isn’t this incitement of insurrection and promoting terrorism?
According to that logic, isn’t Lee Jae-myung, who faces 12 charges in 8 cases and who has now committed intimidation, the prime candidate for an on-the-spot arrest? The Republic of Korea in the 21st century has turned from a civilized country into a “Jae-myung nation.” The legislative, judicial, and executive branches are overshadowed by the Democratic Party, and Lee Jae-myung stands above all power, forming a “Gaeddal Republic.” This is truly lamentable. If any misfortune arises from someone following Lee Jae-myung’s provocations, he must take full political and legal responsibility. Furthermore, the Democratic Party aims to impeach Acting President Choi Sang-mok as well. This would mark the 30th impeachment and create an unprecedented scenario of impeachment deputies. How is this conceivable unless their intent is to completely destroy the Republic of Korea? The reason the Democratic Party is committing such outrageous actions is clear.
The essence of their incitement of insurrection would be revealed through the presidential impeachment trial, and realizing they could not achieve their desired results, they inserted Ma Eun-hyuk, a member of judicial associations with leftist inklings, to somehow alter the outcome. As both the presidential impeachment trial and Lee Jae-myung’s own second trial approach, the intent is to oppose the impeachment trial result and gather grounds to resist his own trial results, seeking excuses for street protests. Lee Jae-myung is arguing that the impeachment trial is being delayed without sufficient reason.
However, what is being delayed without sufficient cause is not the impeachment trial but rather the five trials Lee Jae-myung is involved in. The Democratic Party’s envelope money case, which involves over 20 party lawmakers, has also been delayed for nearly two years due to organized refusals to attend court and cooperate with investigations. These individuals lead the charge on constant impeachments and have even targeted the president. The public clearly sees who is destroying the rule of law and abusing the constitution in the Republic of Korea. The People Power Party will safeguard Korean democracy and the rule of law against the Democratic Party’s governmental collapse. Together with the public, we will combat the illegal constitutional actions by the Lee Jae-myung Democratic Party, which abuses legislative power to exploit the judiciary and control the administration for a pseudo-dictatorial governance.
Representative Lee Jae-myung must apologize sincerely to the public for his inflammatory remarks inciting terrorism and immediately cease threats against Acting President Choi Sang-mok and the Constitutional Court. The reality of a leftist judiciary cartel led by the Democratic Party is also being exposed. It has been confirmed that Democratic Party fees flowed to lawyers defending Lee Jae-myung in his criminal cases. In the last general elections, in their bid to grant parliamentary badges to the so-called “Daekangdong lawyers,” there was even push for untimely deaths; now, they are distributing party members’ contributions to lawyers handling Lee Jae-myung’s own cases.
They say Lee Jae-myung is the Democratic Party’s father, and it seems fitting, seeing him use party fees as he pleases. Moreover, it has been revealed that the Democratic Party made concentrated service contracts with lawyers involved in the National Assembly’s impeachment representation. This is a project to solidify the judiciary cartel on the left. It is now evident why they initiated impeachment attempts 29 times, knowing full well they would be rejected. Politically, their aim was to paralyze state affairs and undermine the presidency; economically, it was about sharing interests with allied lawyers. This could well be termed “impeachment-driven growth.” Greater creativity in governmental collapse and securing interests would be challenging. The public will no longer tolerate it. The public will sternly judge the Democratic Party’s constitutional destruction and governmental undermining through the leftist judiciary cartel. The People Power Party will break the vicious cycle of impeachment politics. Alongside the public, we will continue to stand against the Democratic Party’s legal desecration to the end.
