The People Power Party is ramping up its criticism of the government ahead of the national audit. On October 1, a day before the launch of the Serious Crimes Investigation Agency, the party held an on-site meeting and announced plans for a large-scale rally in downtown Seoul on October 3. The aim is to consolidate momentum for their efforts outside the National Assembly and carry it into the audit.
During the meeting in front of the Serious Crimes Investigation Agency, the party labeled its launch as a 'hasty establishment' and raised concerns about potential gaps in investigations and public safety. Party leader Jang Dong-hyuk criticized the agency, stating, "The head of the Serious Crimes Investigation Agency and its staff have not been fully appointed, making it a 'hollow agency.'"
After the meeting, Jang attempted to enter the building and observed the ongoing work in the lobby. He remarked, "I couldn't get in because they wouldn't let me in under such unprepared circumstances," adding, "Even from the outside, it is clear that they are not ready."
Floor leader Jeong Beom-sik pointed out, "It is concerning that a government agency is renting office space in a private building while internal construction is still ongoing. This reflects the reality of public safety in South Korea."
The People Power Party plans to expand its criticism beyond the criminal justice system to include issues related to people's livelihoods, the economy, and national security. On September 22, the party held a 'Public Report on the Failures of the Lee Jae-myung Administration' in front of the National Assembly, condemning the government's failures in various sectors, including the economy and foreign policy.
This ongoing campaign against the government is expected to culminate in a large-scale rally in downtown Seoul on National Foundation Day (October 3). The People Power Party will hold its first rally in nearly a year since September 28 of last year.
Jang stated the day before, "From the recent landmine explosion incident to the comprehensive survey of farmland, issues like the single-item leveraged exchange-traded funds (ETFs) and real estate problems, as well as the abolition of the prosecution, are numerous. We have no choice but to fight alongside the people against the various actions of the Lee Jae-myung administration that disregard the public."
Through the protests on October 1 and 3, the People Power Party aims to gather momentum for their campaign leading into the national audit starting on October 6. Senior spokesperson Park Chung-kwon explained on YTN Radio's 'Jang Seong-cheol's News Myungdang' that "party members and citizens will gather to condemn the Lee Jae-myung government and convey our voices, and we will carry that energy into the national audit."
