Kim Jin-tae and Min Kyung-wook Propose "Drive-Thru" for National Foundation Day Rally
[Asia Economy Reporter Kang Joo-hee] A proposal has emerged in the political sphere to hold the October 3rd Gwanghwamun National Foundation Day rally, which some conservative groups are planning, in a 'drive-thru' format.
This appears to be in response to the police notifying the ban on the National Foundation Day rally, and calls for restraint from not only the government and quarantine authorities but also opposition parties such as the People Power Party and the People's Party.
Former People Power Party lawmaker Kim Jin-tae suggested on his Facebook on the 22nd, "It would be good to hold the October 3rd Gwanghwamun rally in a drive-thru format," adding, "How about everyone coming out in their cars that day?"
He continued, "Since the administration is blaming the patriotic forces in Gwanghwamun for the failure of quarantine measures, there is no need to insist on the previous method and become prey again," and said, "Sun Tzu's Art of War also states that one should fight where and when they want."
He added, "I am alone inside my car, so it has nothing to do with COVID-19," and said, "If this is also banned, it would be a comedy."
Earlier, former lawmaker Min Kyung-wook also advocated for a drive-thru rally, saying, "No dictatorship in the world blocks drive-thru events."
On the 20th, Min shared an article titled 'Police do not block tractor and truck protests' on his Facebook, saying, "You haven't forgotten that this was the plan, have you? This is a bad administration. Truly a bad administration."

He also criticized the police's restriction on vehicle protests to 'no more than 10 vehicles,' saying, "Does the coronavirus penetrate glass windows and steel plates and instantly pass through the space between cars? Tell me what the basis is for saying no more than nine vehicles can protest in cars," and pointed out, "Why not ban parking more than nine cars in parking lots altogether?"
