The People Power Party criticized the prosecution's decision to drop its appeal against former lawmaker Noh Woong-rae as an act that undermines the rule of law. Park Sung-hoon, senior spokesperson, argued that President Lee Jae-myung's remarks influenced the prosecution's judgment and criticized the prosecution for complying with the orders of power. The People Power Party urged that such behavior be stopped immediately, claiming that the government and ruling party are trying to use the prosecution as a shield for the regime. It also emphasized that the people will not tolerate this 'power-type amnesty cartel'.
