PPP protests special counsel bill outside Blue House

The main opposition People Power Party (PPP) has intensified protests against a special counsel bill passed by the National Assembly last week, which calls for an investigation into alleged fabricated indictments under former President Yoon Suk Yeol. On Monday, PPP leaders gathered outside Cheong Wa Dae to protest the bill, and the party has also launched an outdoor protest campaign and boycotted judiciary committee proceedings, according to Yonhap and KBS World reports. The bill, introduced by the ruling Democratic Party, aims to probe whether indictments were fabricated targeting President Lee Jae Myung and others. The special counsel team has already searched two ballot counting machine companies over suspected collusion, led by special counsel Lee Tae-han. Korean reactions are split along partisan lines, with the ruling party supporting the probe and the PPP arguing it could influence ongoing criminal cases against the president, deepening the political rift.
