韩国最大在野党首尔集会喊话弹劾李在明：党首张东赫称「弹劾是唯一答案」
首尔—韩国最大在野党国民力量党11月7日下午在位于韩国首尔市钟路区的景福宫站前举行「国民大会」，谴责执政党共同民主党6日在国会强行通过涉总统李在明审判的特检法案。该党称，这部法案意在撤销对李在明的起诉、取消其正在进行的审判。
国民力量党代表（党首）张东赫在集会上说，李在明「欺骗了全体国民」，「已经不再是大韩民国总统」，并说：「如今唯一的答案就是弹劾。难道不应该立即弹劾、把他拉下台吗？」他还敦促包括大法院院长赵熙大在内的司法界：「不要犹豫，立即恢复李在明的审判。」
国民力量党院内代表当天在集会上表示，共同民主党6日强行通过的是一部意在撤销起诉、取消总统审判的特检法。该党要求李在明对法案行使否决权，并暗示可能把对该法案的回应与预算案审议挂钩。
据韩联社报道，约70名国民力量党议员与大批院外地区支部负责人参加了集会；国民力量党方面称参加人数为15万，警方估算约6000人。
国民力量党计划9日与10日分别在青瓦台前举行现场最高委员会议与议员总会，把反对该特检法的场外斗争继续下去。
共同民主党方面回应说，在野党应停止误导国民；如果确信当年的调查正当，应当先推荐特检候选人，而不是搞场外斗争。

South Korea's Main Opposition Rallies in Seoul Demanding Lee Jae Myung's Impeachment: Party Leader Jang Dong-hyuk Says 'Impeachment Is the Only Answer'
SEOUL — South Korea's main opposition People Power Party held a "national rally" in front of Gyeongbokgung Station in Seoul's Jongno District on the afternoon of November 7, condemning the ruling Democratic Party for ramming a special counsel bill tied to President Lee Jae Myung's trials through the National Assembly on November 6. The party says the bill is meant to withdraw the indictment against Lee and cancel his trials.
People Power Party leader Jang Dong-hyuk told the rally that Lee had "defrauded the entire nation" and was "no longer the president of the Republic of Korea," adding: "Impeachment is now the only answer. Shouldn't we impeach him immediately and drag him down?" He also urged the judiciary, including Supreme Court Chief Justice Jo Hee-de, not to hesitate and to resume Lee's trial immediately.
The party's floor leader told the rally that the bill the Democratic Party forced through on November 6 was a special counsel bill designed to cancel the indictment and the president's trial. The party pressed Lee to veto the bill and hinted it could link its response to deliberations on the budget.
About 70 People Power Party lawmakers, along with a large number of district chapter chiefs from outside parliament, attended the rally, according to Yonhap News Agency; the party put turnout at 150,000, while police estimated about 6,000.
The party plans to hold an on-site supreme council meeting and a general assembly of its lawmakers in front of the Blue House on November 9 and 10, continuing its street campaign against the bill.
The Democratic Party responded that the opposition should stop misleading the public, and that if it was convinced the original investigations were legitimate, it should recommend a special prosecutor candidate first instead of taking its fight outside the Assembly.
