The fervor of the anti-fraudulent election struggle at Jamsil Olympic Park, the 'sacred ground of true democracy,' is burning even hotter.

Neither the heatwave exceeding 30℃, nor the fierce winds and downpours can extinguish the passion of the 'true democratic citizens' who shout, "Re-election for fraudulent elections, same-day voting and manual counting!"

Why are they so passionate? Anyone who learns about fraudulent elections cannot act against their conscience. This is because fraudulent elections are the biggest and worst offense against democracy.

It is said that over 80% of middle and high school students are aware of fraudulent elections. This is what the middle and high school students met at 'Ol-gong' (Olympic Park) say in unison. For now, they are participating after school, but with the start of the full summer vacation, more middle and high school students are expected to join.

On weekends, you can see office workers bringing strollers and participating with their families at Olympic Park. It is highly likely that they will substitute summer vacation with patriotic activities at Olympic Park. If they know about fraudulent elections, it is difficult to enjoy a relaxed vacation.

Furthermore, the older generation, who have long struggled, intuitively know that this is their last chance and are actively participating. While young people mainly guard Olympic Park at night and in the early morning, the older generation participates during the day, naturally dividing roles and continuing the passion with substantial and material support.

There is no generation gap there. Everyone is a comrade, respecting and encouraging each other. If anyone refuses to say, "Re-election for fraudulent elections, same-day voting and manual counting!", then they are anti-state forces and criminals. Who is refusing? The fraudulent election forces, including the 'fake president,' are refusing.

They are the perpetrators of the largest and worst fraudulent elections in history. Although they may act nonchalant on the outside, they cannot be unaware that their end is near.

There is a proverb, "What can be stopped with a hoe should not wait until it needs a spade."

Lee Jae-myung must declare the invalidity of the 6·3 local elections and call for a re-election immediately. Otherwise, all ballots from Songpa District, located in the Handball Stadium, must be re-counted live. That is the only way to quell the passion of patriotic citizens.

All evidence of the fraudulent elections is there. They are now caught in a checkmate, unable to move forward or backward. Therefore, Lee Jae-myung's swift resignation is the only solution to the problem.
