“Jaemyung Lee will never die”
Lee Jae-myeong, leader of the Democratic Party of Korea, spoke publicly for the first time since the first trial ruling in which he was sentenced to one year in prison and two years of probation for violating the Public Official Election Act.
On the 16th, representative Lee appeared on stage at the National Action Day rally held by the five opposition parties, including the Democratic Party of Korea, the Fatherland Innovation Party, the Progressive Party, the Basic Income Party, and the Social Democratic Party, in the Gwanghwamun area of Seoul. “Let’s never give up or get frustrated, let’s hold both hands together and fight together for a proper world and a proper country,” he said.
Representative Lee continued his remarks by defining the current situation as a ‘confrontation between democracy and anti-democracy.’
Representative Lee said, “At some point, I wonder if the owners of this country changed to Yoon Seok-yeol, Kim Geon-hee, Myung Tae-gyun, etc.” and “Even if there are shortcomings and even if there are complaints, we must overcome the small differences and join hands to fight together against the bigger enemy.” “Why don’t you do it?” he shouted.
Looking back on his beginnings in politics, he also pointed out his relationship with former President Roh Moo-hyun.
Representative Lee, who started politics in July 2004, looked back on his beginnings and said, “At that time, politics was an era in which people swore loyalty to those with vested interests and pledged loyalty to get nominated, spent a huge amount of money, took the path of a thief if elected, and became a beggar if they failed.” He said.
He continued, “Former President Roh Moo-hyun was the one who opened the way for anyone in such dark times to run for office and become a public official with the support of the people and party members,” and added, “I have followed the path opened by President Roh Moo-hyun. “From that time on, I hoped that he would be useful as a faithful tool for the people of this country, not as an individual Lee Jae-myung, and I hoped for nothing more.”

He then took aim at the Yoon Seok-yeol regime, saying, “Let’s clearly show that even the money they spend happily playing emperor’s golf is money earned by us going out on a packed bus early in the morning and sweating blood.” Lee Jae-myung will not die. Democracy doesn’t die either. “The future of this country will not die,” he emphasized.
