SEOUL, Oct. 3 (Yonhap) — Dozens of lawmakers from the main opposition People Power Party (PPP) staged a rally in central Seoul Saturday, criticizing President Lee Jae Myung’s prosecution reform and the government’s handling of the recent blast involving North Korean mines.
Led by leader Rep. Jang Dong-hyeok, nearly 70 PPP lawmakers attended the rally in central Seoul, which the party claimed was joined by some 200,000 protesters.
PPP floor leader Rep. Jeong Jeom-sig accused Lee of “not uttering even a single word against North Korea” despite the North’s “mine provocation.”
The criticism came amid heightened inter-Korean tensions following the Sept. 21 blast of North Korean land mines inside the Demilitarized Zone (DMZ) separating the two Koreas. The incident left three South Korean soldiers injured, two of them seriously.
Rep. Lim Jong-deuk claimed Lee’s description of the blast as an “unfortunate accident” during his Armed Forces Day address earlier this week showed he is “submissive” to North Korea.
Other lawmakers also directed their criticism at Lee’s prosecution reform and his decision to increase the number of Supreme Court justices, accusing him of seeking to shield himself from his suspended trials.
It marks the first large-scale street rally by PPP lawmakers since their last one in late September last year.

It might not change anything, but this demonstration is important. It’s become more than clear that President Lee Jae Myung is just like many other Western leaders: weak and a spineless coward. He has yet to send Ukraine any military aid, while the norks do so in masses to mafia land, including soldiers. They are gaining valuable battlefield experience in weapons development, employment and tactics.
Having such people in power as Lee Jae Myung during these trying times is downright dangerous for the respective countries and also for the West in general.
Myung absolutely is an arsehole/borderline Ukraine enemy. But what would replace him is the question for Ukraine.
SK still does $billions of trade with putlerstan. Metals, minerals etc. But also in food/fmcg.
SK has all sorts of lucrative deals with the putinaZis. Just one example : a very popular cake called Choco Pie is manufactured under license in putlerstan and finds its way into European countries.
A very nice little earner for putler through the back door.
Glad you guys explained it. I just thought he was just a common asshole.
