Lee afirma que el movimiento prodemocracia de 1980 renació al frustrar la ley marcial de 2024

El presidente Lee Jae Myung señaló que la solidaridad demostrada en el movimiento prodemocracia de Gwangju de 1980 revivió cuando el público frustró el intento de ley marcial de 2024.

El presidente Lee Jae Myung declaró en una ceremonia en Gwangju que la solidaridad mostrada durante el movimiento prodemocracia de 1980 revivió cuando los ciudadanos bloquearon el intento de ley marcial de 2024.

"Una gran República de Corea detuvo a las fuerzas armadas de la ley marcial con sus manos desnudas en 2024, tal como lo hicieron los ciudadanos de Gwangju en mayo de 1980", afirmó Lee. Agregó que el espíritu de Gwangju renació como "la revolución de la luz" en 2024 para salvaguardar la democracia.

Lee prometió consagrar el espíritu del movimiento del 18 de mayo en la Constitución y pidió cooperación bipartidista. También prometió convertir el antiguo emplazamiento del gobierno provincial de Jeolla del Sur en un destino turístico que rinda homenaje a la democratización.

Alrededor de 3.000 personas asistieron al evento, al que Lee acudió con su esposa, Kim Hea Kyung, por primera vez como presidente.
