South Korea’s conservatives are going to need much more than a 20,000 person protest to stop President Moon’s pro-North Korea policies. By Korean standards this is a small to medium size protest. If they get over a 100,000 than I think they would really send a message to the Blue House:
The main opposition Liberty Korea Party (LKP) on Saturday held a massive rally in Seoul to protest President Moon Jae-in’s personnel appointments.
In the rally held at Gwanghwamun Square in central Seoul, LKP lawmakers and party members also strongly criticized the Moon government’s major economic and diplomatic policies.
LKP Chairman Hwang Kyo-ahn and Floor Leader Na Kyung-won blasted the Moon government’s North Korea policies, calling Moon a spokesman of North Korean leader Kim Jong-un and Moon’s government a pro-North Korea government.
The party chief then declared a war against the Moon government to stop its leftist dictatorship.
The party estimated about 20-thousand people participated in the rally.
Since they are left wing activists I would be surprised if anything significant happens to them for forcibly occupying the office of a prominent Korean opposition lawmaker:
Police on Saturday requested arrest warrants for two members of a progressive collegiate association for trespassing.
The two had occupied Liberty Korea Party Floor Leader Na Kyung-won’s office as part of a protest, Yeongdeungpo Police Station said Sunday. They are reportedly college students.
They were among 22 members of the group who had occupied Rep. Na’s office at around 10 a.m. Friday to stage a protest demanding Na and Liberty Korea Party chief Hwang Kyo-ahn step down from their positions.
The members are calling for Na and Hwang to resign based on claims that Na made an inappropriate remark on Korean history and Hwang tried to cover up Kim Hak-eui’s sex bribery scandal and hindered attempts to find the truth regarding the Sewol Ferry tragedy.
During the 40-minute protest, the members chanted and carried placards. They also formed a scrummage by lying down on the ground when the National Assembly’s security staff tried to stop them.
The members were dragged outside of the building some 50 minutes after the protest began. Police took the members to the police station after they continued their protest in front of the building.
