Strong conservative and far-right groups that spearheaded the Gwanghwamun rally on 8/15 Liberation Day, when the novel coronavirus (Corona 19) infection outbreak occurred, reported that they would also hold a mass demonstration with tens of thousands of people on October 3. While self-employed sales were badly hit by “social distancing,” there are concerns that a large-scale infection will reoccur at an urban rally where tens of thousands of people are gathering. In particular, some organizations even posted “cell phone off” signs to make it difficult to track in case of infection.

According to the police on the 6th, the 10 million innocent people liberation headquarters and Free Solidarity, President Park Geun-hye’s Lifeguard Federation, the Liberation Movement Headquarters and the Taegeukgi National Revolutionary Movement Headquarters reported about a demonstration in Gwanghwamun, Seoul.

The 10 Million Innocent Liberation Movement headquarters reported that there were 30,000 people in the assembly near Sejong-ro and the Hyoja Security Center. According to reports, Free Solidarity reported that thousands of people gathered at the Ulji-ro entrance area, near the Gwanghwamun and KT buildings, Gyeongbokgung station and the headquarters of the Taegeukgi National Revolutionary Movement.

It is not known if mounting will be allowed. Due to the large-scale spread of infectious diseases in the metropolitan area, the order to ban the assembly from the 30th of last month has been extended until the 13th of this month. If the number of confirmed cases continues to rise, the assembly’s immobilization order may be extended further. In fact, the city of Seoul has issued an order equivalent to the third step of social distancing for no more than 10 people to gather for a demonstration in the city center.

However, if the assembly is rejected, there is the possibility that conservative groups will denounce the assembly in which only a small number of people attend, and thousands of people gather on the day of the first day. The August 15 rally, led by Pastor Jeon Kwang-hoon Sarangjeil Church, was allowed to host a small number of less than 100 people, but thousands of people gathered that day.

The problem is that, in the event of a group infection at the New Year’s Eve rally, an additional hit for 6 million freelancers is inevitable. Sales have declined due to a total suspension or contraction of the business due to social distancing, but the self-employed continue to lose their rental and labor costs and are pushed into a closure crisis.

From the first, 1,363 ads were posted in Naver’s larger community, ‘I’m sick because I’m the boss,’ where the freelancers rallied. This is five times the number of sales in August last year (264). Even in June and July, when the spread of Corona 19 was not as rapid as it is now, around 1,000 stores were sold, but since the 15th of last month, as the quiet has accelerated, it is judged that it is difficult to bear more . do.

Most of the stores for sale are in the food industry, such as chicken and pizza restaurants, and Korean and Chinese food. Bars, clothing stores, karaoke rooms and computer rooms have also appeared for sale here. In particular, not a few stores sold out quickly, offering unprecedented benefits such as no duty payment, rent discount and free share transfer.

The government and opposition parties seriously acknowledge the situation of the self-employment crisis and plan to support them by preparing a fourth supplementary bill soon. However, if the group infection spreads to large-scale urban gatherings, social distancing continues and there is a limit to spending money on people. The reproliferation of infectious diseases could also neutralize the extrapolation.

It is also the key issue for members of the conservative People’s Power party to attend. Even within the conservative camp, controversy continues over whether to draw a line or embrace conservative supporters who took to the streets. Ho-young Joo emphasized, “We are different from far-right actors,” and drew a line that said, “You can ignore it,” said the chairman of the emergency response committee, Kim Jong-in.

However, independent lawmaker Hong Joon-pyo, a prominent conservative leader, pointed out that “far right is a term that refers to nationalism, totalitarianism and racism” and that “they are only people who are against Moon Jae’s regime- in “.

It is expected that it will be difficult for current and former legislators to at least assist the power of the people. In September, a party audit is scheduled for the chairman of the party council. If you attend a rally and are criticized by public opinion, you will inevitably receive a negative evaluation from the party’s affairs audit.
