[Asia Economy Intern Reporter Kim Sung-yeol] Former Liberty Korea Party leader Hong Joon-pyo urged the opposition to take action, saying, "Even if impeachment through the National Assembly is no longer possible, it is time to forcibly proceed with a popular impeachment process. This is the opposition's last chance to break through in the general election."

In a post on his Facebook on the morning of the 7th, former leader Hong said, "The public's anger is soaring due to the incompetent response to the Wuhan pneumonia quarantine. Although it is late, the opposition must now make a strong effort."

Former leader Hong stated, "A week ago, through TV Hongkacola (YouTube channel), I presented clear legal grounds for the impeachment of President Moon Jae-in."

He added, "Looking at the morning newspapers today, the media is belatedly echoing the same argument."

Former leader Hong gave two reasons, saying, "One person was at the top of the 'Druking' presidential election opinion manipulation case," and "the other person was President Moon Jae-in, who was at the top of the fraudulent election to make the mayor of Ulsan in the last local election."

He claimed, "These two incidents are serious events comparable to the March 15 fraudulent election that led to President Rhee Syng-man's resignation."

He continued, "However, the opposition is unable to make these issues a point of contention and is being dragged along," and "Moreover, the Minister of Justice and some senior court officials are waging an all-out battle to prevent the public from learning about this enormous fraud, so proper measures are not being taken."

He also stated, "If such serious criminal allegations against the president have come to light ahead of the general election, the opposition must win overwhelmingly in this election."

Former leader Hong said, "However, it is truly regrettable that the opposition is floundering without finding its center, and that the entire opposition is sinking into a quagmire due to the opposition leader's own issues."
