Jeollanam-do and the Association of Mayors and County Governors held a meeting at Boseong Botjae Hall on the 19th, attended by Jeollanam-do Governor Kim Youngrok and the heads of 22 cities and counties in Jeollanam-do. During the meeting, they pledged their resolve to urge the Constitutional Court to uphold the impeachment and removal of President Yoon Sukyeol, who attempted to control the National Assembly and arrest and detain politicians based on an unconstitutional martial law.

Governor Kim Youngrok stated, "The impeachment of President Yoon Sukyeol, who trampled on constitutional order and caused a national crisis through illegal emergency martial law, must be upheld and he must be removed from office," adding, "It has become clear that the emergency martial law was a serious, unconstitutional criminal act."

He further emphasized, "Yoon Sukyeol, the ringleader of insurrection, has continued to make false excuses and outrageous remarks throughout the impeachment trial, shifting responsibility to his subordinates and showing no sign of remorse," and added, "History has never seen injustice prevail. Our people have proven through the April 19 Revolution, the June Democratic Uprising, and the May 18 Gwangju Democratization Movement that justice triumphs in the history of democracy."

The mayors and county governors attending the meeting also spoke in unison, saying, "Now it is the turn of the Constitutional Court. We strongly urge the court to defend democracy and open the path to national normalization by unanimously upholding the impeachment and removal of the president at the stern judgment of history."
