Pyongyang, July 2 (KCNA) -- Massive resistance is escalating in the puppet ROK to impeach the puppet Yoon Suk Yeol who is inciting nuclear war hysterics by resorting to the strengthening of war alliance with the U.S. and Japan and driving the society to ruin with fascist dictatorship and arbitrary practices.

Notably, a petition drive for proposing impeachment of Yoon Suk Yeol has been launched and people from all walks of life are actively joining it.

The co-representative of the candlelight action posted an article on internet to launch the national petition drive for proposing impeachment of the puppet Yoon Suk Yeol and the number of petitioners was more than 630 000 as of June 29.

As regards the fact, the puppet media said that the national petition drive won more than 630 000 petitioners within 10 days from its launch and if this goes on, the number will exceed one million to reach 5 million and 10 million, adding that this shows the pubic mindset for the impeachment of Yoon has exploded and the final number of petitioners on July 20 when the petition is over is drawing attention.

Amid the elevated national petition drive demanding the impeachment of Yoon, the 96th candlelight rally and demonstration took place in Seoul on June 29 under the theme of "Let us impeach Yoon Suk Yeol with strong will and firm spirit!"

Speakers said at the rally that the public mindset for the impeachment is erupting through the national petition drive and that people have launched practical action to impeach Yoon. They also said that the petition drive demanding impeachment of Yoon will lead to all-people resistance for impeachment and many people will turn out in the drive in the future.

The participants heard an appeal titled "We can never pardon you" amid the shouts of "Our goal is the immediate impeachment of Yoon Suk Yeol!" and "Dissolve the People Power Party which commits outrage at the National Assembly and shields Yoon!"

Then the participants staged a demonstration, chanting slogans and holding such placards and propaganda literature as "Down with Yoon Suk Yeol fostering war crisis!", "Impeach Yoon Suk Yeol, incompetent to ensure security and disrupting peace!" and "Impeachment is peace!"

Meanwhile, organizations of various circles carried on struggle every day demanding the impeachment of Yoon who is escalating the danger of war through frantic military drills as stooges of the U.S. and Japan.

The participants in the struggle expressed concern over the present situation in which the military tension has increased more than ever before due to the ROK-U.S.-Japan joint military drill Freedom Edge, which may lead to a war any moment.

They stressed that all the people desirous of peace would join a common struggle to denounce the U.S. and its war stooge Yoon Suk Yeol that bring a nuclear war. -0-
