Kim Dong-yeon, after solo protest at Gwanggyo Jungang Station, says "Talking about presidential election before impeachment is inappropriate"

Gyeonggi Province Governor Kim Dong-yeon stated that it is inappropriate to talk about his early presidential primary candidacy before the Constitutional Court issues a ruling on President Yoon Seok-yeol's impeachment. He also emphasized that the impeachment ruling should be made as soon as possible. Furthermore, he said that the acquittal of Lee Jae-myung, leader of the Democratic Party of Korea, in the second trial is a natural outcome.

On the 27th, after finishing a solo picket protest at Gwanggyo Jungang Station in Suwon, Governor Kim told reporters, "I think it is inappropriate to talk about the presidential election when there has been no decision yet from the Constitutional Court regarding the impeachment ruling." He added, "For now, I believe it is time for all of us to unite our efforts for the swift approval of the impeachment to remove political uncertainty and rebuild the economy."

He continued, "My consistent view is that the most urgent and important task for overcoming the current difficulties in South Korea and rebuilding the economy is for President Yoon's impeachment to be approved quickly."

He also said, "Yesterday, on my way to the solo protest, I visited the fire department headquarters to offer encouragement and give instructions for further support, as there is a national crisis due to wildfires occurring nationwide, and the Gyeonggi Fire Headquarters has been actively responding. As of yesterday, there have been 24 wildfires of various sizes in Gyeonggi Province."

Finally, regarding Lee Jae-myung's acquittal in the second trial, Governor Kim said, "I believe justice has been served. I am relieved that the prosecution's excessive indictment has now been corrected."
