In the puppet ROK, people from all walks of life are now intensifying the candlelight resistance to condemn the U.S., Japan and the ROK for strengthening their war alliance and staging joint military drills, and to impeach the puppet Yoon Suk Yeol for unhesitatingly committing an extremely dangerous act of bringing the crisis of a nuclear war as a war servant and shock brigade of foreign forces.

The 101st candlelight rally and demonstration was held in Seoul on Aug. 3 under the sponsorship of the Candlelight Action.

Attending there were a lot of people from all walks of life, including workers, farmers and university students. At the rally, they lashed out at the puppet Yoon for desperately promoting the ROK-U.S.-Japan military alliance, taking pro-Japanese action and wrecking the people’s living.

The speakers said that the last option of Yoon, who has been driven into the worst ruling crisis, is a war, adding that the ongoing ROK-U.S. joint military drill and ROK-U.S.-Japan joint military drill are escalating the danger of a nuclear war.

Then the participants staged a demonstration in Seoul, chanting slogans "Stop the ROK-U.S.-Japan military cooperation calling for war!" and "Impeach Yoon Suk Yeol, a pro-Japanese traitor!" with large placards and posters in their hands

Meanwhile, the Confederation of Trade Unions launched a struggle to oppose war, withdraw U.S. forces and impeach Yoon on Aug. 3 amid the intensified anti-U.S., anti-war, anti-Yoon Suk Yeol struggle of civic organizations.

The organization, which held a ceremony of declaring its action before the office building of the Pusan City Committee of the "People Power Party", denounced the U.S. for increasing the danger of war to prevent its hegemony from collapsing and Yoon for getting hell-bent on war drills with the U.S. and Japan as a war shock brigade

The organization expressed the will to more dynamically wage an anti-U.S., anti-war struggle and the struggle to impeach Yoon and disorganize the "People Power Party".

That day, university students, too, held a rally for forming a large march group, at which they declared the struggle to stop strengthening the ROK-U.S.-Japan war alliance and waging the joint military drills and to impeach the puppet Yoon.
