Liberation Day Weekend: Large-Scale Rallies Shake the Nation with Calls for Suffrage Restoration and Government Condemnation

Last Liberation Day weekend, huge crowds gathered in various parts of the country, including Gwanghwamun, Gangnam, and Olympic Park. They raised their voices to demand the restoration of suffrage, the restoration of democracy, and the condemnation of the Lee Jae-myung administration.

At the scene, citizens' voluntary participation stood out. Voluntary service activities continued, such as helping with restroom guidance and operating free sharing booths.

People Power Party Assemblyman Joo Jin-woo conducted a signature campaign for a collective constitutional appeal against the 'People's Mouth-Covering Law' at the scene. Many young people participated in the signing, showing interest.

Citizens showed solidarity by operating booths that offered free ramen and hotdogs. Diverse citizens' voluntary participation was noticeable, including those accompanied by their pets.

Witness K appeared wearing a T-shirt with a poster message from the time of the Hong Kong Polytechnic University protest. This T-shirt's design originated from words someone wrote on a wall just before being arrested, during a siege-like situation at Hong Kong Polytechnic University where tear gas and Molotov cocktails were exploding.

This message contains a warning about the CCP (Chinese Communist Party). It states that the CCP attempts to manipulate and control people's political will and corporate economic activities by interfering with ideology and economic power.

The core of the warning is, 'If you are not awake now, then you are next after Hong Kong.' This message warns that the tragic situation in Hong Kong could happen to other societies.

Witness K explained that this message is not just a slogan but holds significant meaning to face reality and be vigilant.

Protest songs with lyrics resonating with election issues received a great response at the scene. Participants in the rally sang along together, adding to the fervor.

During the street march, residents of Woosung Apartments actively responded, lending strength to the struggle. Such marches are an important way to inform everyday citizens about the content of the struggle and gain their empathy.

At the rally, simple and repetitive slogans like 'We want, we want, we want a re-election, we want, we want, we want a re-election, we want' were used. This slogan, with its easy melody, became catchy and had the effect of increasing the unity of participants.

Such protest slogans clearly convey the core demand for a re-election and play an important role in helping to maintain the essence of the struggle.

The opinion was raised that rather than sticking to one specific type of struggle, diverse creative methods should be accepted by different entities. This is important for attracting more people's participation.

It is emphasized that while the ultimate goal remains the same—re-election and reform of the National Election Commission—participating in the struggle in one's own way can increase the movement's extensibility.

At the rally site, the voluntary service and dedication of young people stood out. Two young people brought an enormous amount of ice water to share with participants, and offered rides in their vehicles, among other volunteer activities.

While the passion of these activists becomes the driving force of the struggle, it can also lead to physical exhaustion. Nevertheless, their dedication greatly contributes to the success of the rally.

The structure of the special prosecutor appointment proved to be a conundrum for Representative Lee Jae-myung. This is because the bill dictates that if a special prosecutor is not appointed within 3 days, the eldest candidate is automatically appointed.

Representative Lee Jae-myung had to choose between two candidates but appeared to be struggling with the decision, unable to make an appointment for 3 days. This suggests it was a very difficult decision for him.

This situation created an atmosphere of victory for the protesting forces, serving as an opportunity to further secure momentum for the struggle.

It was argued that the importance of action should be realized through the Olympic Park incident. This message warns against falling into defeatism without taking action.

It emphasized confidence that 'we can do it if we gather' and underscored the practical effectiveness of directly participating on-site.

It was repeatedly emphasized that party members are the owners of the party. It was argued that it is not right for the owners to leave their home, and that party members should actively participate in party activities.

Voices were raised, stating that they would stick with the policies to the end and that it is time to raise the banner of a member-sovereign party even higher.

Appeals continued for fighting from within the party rather than defecting. It was pointed out that leaving the party is not the solution, stating, 'Even the Democratic Party guys know, and even the pro-North Korean leftists know, that if you leave, you're out.'

It was emphasized that just as Han Dong-hoon even opposes defection, to reflect the will of party members and expand influence, one must operate from within the party. It was counter-argued, asking why everyone else is joining while only some are leaving, underscoring the importance of internal struggle.

At the Liberation Day rally site, many cute dogs joined the crowds. These so-called 'patriotic dogs' accompanied the rally, drawing the attention of citizens.

It was mentioned that there will be many moments to take to the streets in the future without losing the momentum of the protests, and continuous participation was requested. It was emphasized that if the enthusiasm shown at the August 15th Liberation Day rally can be maintained, many people on-site will gain strength.

It was added that on-site participation itself provides great strength, which will bring a positive synergistic effect to the entire struggle.
