Text and Phone Harassment Targeting Lawmakers Absent from Impeachment Vote

As calls for the impeachment of President Yoon Seok-yeol, who declared martial law, intensify, the headquarters of the People Power Party's Gyeongnam Provincial Office, along with lawmakers' offices and city councils that opposed the impeachment, are struggling.

Signs reading "Power of Rebellion" and "Gyeongnam Regional Rebellion Research Institute" were posted on the entrance door of the People Power Party's Gyeongnam Provincial Office, while impeachment approval slogans were attached to each lawmaker's office, and condolence wreaths were delivered.

Daily rallies demanding the dissolution of the People Power Party and participation in the impeachment approval were held in front of the provincial office. During these events, some individuals tore the People Power Party flags and tied people wearing masks of President Yoon and People Power Party lawmakers from the Gyeongnam region with ropes and dragged them.

As the all-out offensive against President Yoon and the People Power Party continues, attention is focused on the outcome of the presidential impeachment motion re-vote scheduled to take place around 4 p.m. on the 14th at the National Assembly plenary session.
