He also argued that the fourth outdoor rally organized by the Democratic Party the previous day did not attract public attention because it made Lee's judicial risk visible.
Han Ji-ah, the Democratic Party's chief spokesperson, said in a commentary on the same day, "The Democratic Party held its fourth outdoor rally yesterday, and it was a
There was no response from ordinary citizens. Wise Koreans clearly understand the fact that this is just a 'Lee Jae-myung bulletproof rally.'"
"In anticipation of the first trial verdict on the charges of instigating perjury, they are trying to spread the idea that Lee Jae-myung is innocent,"
"Although they may have had ulterior motives, the public's indifference is nothing more than a signal flare that Lee is facing serious legal risk," he emphasized.
Spokesperson Heo Jun-seok also commented on the first-instance ruling on Lee's incitement to perjury, saying, "The court has decided based on legal principles and evidence.
"I am confident that the ruling will be fair based on the evidence," he said. In addition, the Democratic Party of Korea's pro-Lee Jae-myung group, the Democratic National Reform Council, held a press conference at the Seoul courthouse on the 25th, the day of the first trial ruling.
Regarding the teaser for a "political prosecution rally" in Seocho-dong, Seocho-gu, Seoul, he demanded, "The Democratic Party of Korea must immediately stop all attempts to intimidate the rule of law and put pressure on the judiciary."
Some within the People's Power Party have predicted that Lee will be sentenced to prison in the first trial on the incitement to perjury case. Supreme Committee member Jang Dong-hyuk said at a luncheon meeting, "There is a high possibility that he will be detained in court.
The sentence is expected to be two years in prison. The crime is serious, and the perjury party (Kim Jin Seo, former secretary to Kim Byung-ryong, former mayor of Seongnam) has admitted to perjury.
Rep. Park Jeong-hoon also told Feisbook, "Instigating perjury will be punishable by two years in prison," and said that the evidence of the crime is clear and that Chairman Lee has not admitted to any wrongdoing.
He added, "I hope that the judiciary will punish these shameless criminals severely so that they will not try to cover up their crimes with a political protective membrane."
