[Asia Economy Reporter Naju-seok] On the 25th, the Democratic Party of Korea condemned the prosecution's search and seizure of the Democratic Research Institute as a "surprise raid on the opposition party headquarters" and decided to hold a protest rally in front of the Yongsan Presidential Office. The National Assembly inspection will reconvene after holding a party meeting in the afternoon to decide whether to resume.

Oh Young-hwan, the Democratic Party floor spokesperson, said, "Today is the last day of the National Assembly inspection. The prosecution's surprise raid on the opposition party headquarters, which obstructs normal proceedings and induces disruption, is seen as an intention to crush the opposition party a day before the president's policy speech," adding, "Democratic Party members will move to the Yongsan Presidential Office at 11:30 a.m. to hold a press conference condemning the prosecution's dictatorship and new security governance."

Regarding the return to the inspection after the recess for the party meeting, he explained, "We will hold a party meeting at 2 p.m. to discuss future plans," and asked to understand that the inspection is not suspended but postponed.

Regarding the situation at the party headquarters, Spokesperson Oh said, "Some members of the floor leadership are monitoring the execution of the search and seizure," and "the majority of the leadership will hold a press conference in front of the Yongsan Presidential Office."
