Oh Se-hoon, the Seoul mayor, said the Democratic Party of Korea is intimidating the judiciary to erase President Lee Jae-myung's criminal allegations, adding that the martyrs of April 19 would weep. The April 19 Revolution marks its 66th anniversary on this day.
Oh wrote on Facebook on the 19th, "The ruling party intimidates and mocks the judiciary to erase the president's criminal allegations, yet feels no shame before the public," adding, "The runaway push in the National Assembly to cancel the indictment is being broadcast live to the entire nation."
He continued, "Even the president does not hesitate to make the far-fetched claim that the opposition stole the presidential election result, so the president's close associates strut about confidently even when they face criminal allegations," and added, "If the martyrs who defended democracy were to witness the outrageous trampling of the constitutional order unfolding now, it would truly be cause for lament."
He added, "A society where law and principle are respected without exception, and where freedom and justice are common sense—that is the path to carrying on the spirit of April 19."
