G7 trip.

President Yoon Suk-yeol pointed out that "traffic in downtown Seoul was paralyzed last week due to a massive rally by the Minh Workers' Party."

"Our Constitution guarantees freedom of assembly and demonstration, and as President, I have respected that," he said, stressing that "guaranteeing freedom of assembly and demonstration does not mean that it justifies violating the freedom and fundamental rights of others or even disrupting public order."

[President Yoon Suk-yeol: It will be difficult for the people to tolerate the KCTU's rally behavior, which violated people's freedoms and basic rights and disrupted public order.]

"This is the result of the government's de facto abandonment of law enforcement against illegal assemblies and demonstrations in the past," he said, adding, "We will not tolerate or ignore any illegal acts in the future."

[President Yoon Suk-yeol: If the law is not obeyed, good citizens and the socially disadvantaged will suffer.

After an official dinner with EU leaders last night (22nd), President Yoon concluded his G7-related itinerary by saying, "All the G7 countries condemned North Korea's illegal actions with one voice," and said that "efforts for Ukraine are also legitimate measures."

Emphasizing our contribution and responsibility to the global agenda, he referred to the decarbonized energy transition, in which President Yoon said, "As long as it is scientifically and safely utilized, nuclear power is the most powerful and efficient green energy."
