The Gwangju Metropolitan City Party of the Democratic Party of Korea will hold a 'Condemnation Rally against the Yoon Seok-yeol Regime's Opposition Suppression and Prosecutor Dictatorship' at 3 p.m. on the 11th at the 5·18 Democracy Square (the square in front of the old provincial government building).

More than 1,000 people are expected to participate in the condemnation rally, including Gwangju citizens, Lee Byung-hoon, Chairman of the Gwangju City Party (Member of the National Assembly for Dong-gu Nam-gu Eul), party leadership, regional committee chairpersons, elected officials affiliated with the party, and core party members.

This condemnation rally is planned to denounce the Yoon Seok-yeol regime's suppression of the opposition and prosecutor dictatorship, and to condemn President Yoon Seok-yeol's distorted historical view and humiliating pro-Japanese diplomacy revealed in his March 1st Independence Movement Day speech and the solution to forced labor during the Japanese colonial period. The event will include speeches condemning the Yoon Seok-yeol regime, calls for a special investigation into Kim Geon-hee's stock manipulation and the 5 billion won club, as well as a placard performance.

Chairman Lee Byung-hoon stated, "The Yoon Seok-yeol regime is deteriorating into the worst administration in history," and added, "Following the people's mandate, party members and elected officials affiliated with the party will unite with one heart in Gwangju, the heart of democracy, to resolutely stand against the Yoon Seok-yeol regime's tyranny."

Meanwhile, the Gwangju Metropolitan City Party of the Democratic Party of Korea plans to continue activities condemning the Yoon Seok-yeol regime through a tent party office and one-person placard protests starting from the 12th after the condemnation rally.
