Constitutional complaint previewed to repeal 'mouth-shut law'
He said he aims to reach 70,000, 80,000, and ultimately 100,000 signatures, and argued the law should be abolished through a constitutional lawsuit.
Rally attendees criticized Lee Jae-myung's constitutional amendment push, stressing the need to expose election commission irregularities and to use lawmakers' immunity from arrest.
He said he aims to reach 70,000, 80,000, and ultimately 100,000 signatures, and argued the law should be abolished through a constitutional lawsuit.
He argued that the Democratic Party harbors this intent.
Joo Jin-woo said that even if the Democratic Party files 100 or 200 complaints against him, he will file lawsuits in his own name to fight the 'mouth-shut law.' He stressed that he and the rally participants will absolutely block this law.
He argued that one cannot fight with that mindset.
He stressed that this is not something done with good intentions.
He added that the black version mourns the state of voting rights having been contaminated.
The People Power Party clearly opposed the constitutional amendment pushed by the Democratic Party, saying it is not for the people. It warned against the Democratic Party's scheme to amend the constitution and said that if it secures more than 200 seats in the next general election, it will pursue a constitutional amendment for a free Republic of Korea.
The speaker pointed out that the Democratic Party's persecution of prosecutor Park Sang-yong is also meant to conceal wrongdoing and avoid trial.
He said he will gather as many signatures as possible at today's rally, reaching just short of 100,000. He also urged colleagues and family to sign, explaining that little personal information beyond the resident registration number is needed. He stressed that he and patriotic lawyers will carry this lawsuit through to the end and certainly win.
Questions were raised about Rep. Yoon Sang-hyun calling for reform before exposing the irregularities, with the point made that changing the system without revealing the wrongdoing is pointless. Participants stressed the need to seize this opportunity to protect a free Republic of Korea.
Citing that ordinary citizens fight while facing charges and arrest, the speaker raised their voice, saying that if lawmakers with privileges granted by the people still refuse to fight, they should give up their National Assembly badges.
The speaker also criticized an attempt to remove ballot boxes at Olympic Park, warning that even if they were removed, public anger would only burn hotter.
Criticism was raised that not a single properly hung Taegukgi was seen at the Liberation Day event. The speaker also mentioned that a children's song festival in Gwangju praising Jung Yul-sung, who composed a People's Liberation Army march, was held, with a video showing songs of Chinese origin and military marches sung openly. He added that this is not the fault of Gwangju citizens.
The demand is to properly disclose the nationalities of commenters, such as American, Japanese, British, or Chinese. However, the speaker pointed out that the Democratic Party opposes this as 'anti-China rhetoric.' The speaker asked whether the Democratic Party opposes it because it knows many comments come from Chinese users, and stressed that citizens have a right not to be cursed out by Chinese people.
Stressing that the amendment is the most important fork in the road for whether South Korea becomes a dictatorship, the speaker explained that although the system is heavily damaged, citizens' high level of awareness supports it. The speaker argued that if even the constitution is shaken, Korea will be hard to protect, so the only task for People Power Party lawmakers is to block the amendment, which is the people's command and a historical mission.
It was argued that China is openly carrying out espionage while disregarding Korea. Even though it eavesdrops near U.S. military bases and steals military secrets, the speaker criticized that a man said to be the older brother of former Defense Minister Kim Min-seok is leading anti-American movements and calling for the withdrawal of U.S. forces in Korea, which makes no sense. The speaker reminded that the Korean War was won through the Korea-U.S. alliance.
He asked why they would try to hide the gathering if they were not afraid of it, and stressed that the citizens' fervent desire for freedom will continue to be made known even without broadcast coverage.
A North Korean defector called Han Dong-hoon a 'traitor-scum' and argued that he should be removed.
