Give up, Park Geun-hye!
The third all-people action was launched on a large scale across south Korea on Nov. 12 to oust Park Geun-hye from office.
Nearly
1.1 million people from all walks of life turned out in the action to
demonstrate their will to bring Park Geun-hye to justice of history.
The
participants from the trade unions under the Korean Confederation of
Trade Unions, student and pupil groups, and religious bodies gathered at
Seoul Square to hold the 2016 people's all-out rally.
Speeches were made at the rally.
They
noted that Park is no more the president as she has been deserted by
the people and added that they would continue action until she is
withdrawn from her office,
Students
from one hundred universities said that they have stood in the van of
epochal opportunity such as the April 19 revolution, the May 18 Gwangju
popular uprising and the June resistance, adding that this time decides
progress or retrogression of democracy.
They
said that we will punish those who are worse than dog and pig and Park
should not make fun of the people any longer and get out of office.
The participants made public a declaration.
It
said that the essence of the "Park Geun-hye scandal" is a crystal of
corruption and incompetence and the people's resentment is an expression
of the will not to remain a passive onlooker to the abnormal society
any longer.
The people will oust Park from the presidency and make the future of people’s triumph, the declaration stressed.
Then
the participants, divided into five directions, started a citizens
grand march along major roads to encircle Cheongwadae with slogan board
reading "Park Geun-hye, resign" in their hands.
The
south Korean security authorities committed the largest-scale riot
police to the venue of rally and its vicinity and set up fence of bus on
the passage and the access road to Cheongwadae to repress them.
Some of them shouldered a bier descriptive of Cheongwadae and raised a wail of sorrow.
The infuriated people’s candlelight frightened Park.
Enraged at the police's whisking off demonstrators, the participants waged a fierce fight with the police.
There took place a strike outside Chongwadae. Then the participants held a candlelight rally again.
They staged over-night strike, expressing their resentment at Park who plunged the people’s livelihood into an abyss of ruin.
It has been recorded as the largest rally unprecedented in history as the rally was sponsored by 1 500 civic organizations.
On the same day, actions of the people for punishing Park were held in Busan and across south Korea simultaneously.
They demanded an impartial investigation of Choi Soon-sil Gate and stern punishment of those responsible for the scandal.
On
the same day, overseas Koreans held rallies in demand of Park’s
resignation and dissolution of the Saenuri Party in 30 cities of ten
countries including the US, Japan, the UK, Germany and France.
The
2016 Headquarters for People's All-out Action noted that Park should
make an apology before the people and they will continue the action
until Park accepts the people’s demand and stated that it would launch
the fourth and fifth all-people action on Nov. 19 and 26.
On
Nov. 13, about ninety lawmakers of the Saenuri Party convened an
emergency meeting at which they asserted the immediate resignation of
Park and dissolution of the ruling party.
Park, who has bent herself to traitorous politics, is on the verge of bankruptcy by the pent-up wrath of the people.
