영하의 날씨에도 광화문 앞은 사람들로 가득 찼습니다. 두꺼운 겉옷에 모자를 뒤집어 쓴 채, 윤석열 대통령에 대한 내란죄 수사를 촉구했습니다.
["체포하라, 체포하라."]
[이희성/서울시 서초구 : "혼란을 막는 가장 빠른 방법은 빠른 탄핵입니다. 그래서 이번 겨울 안에는 꼭 대통령의 탄핵 인용까지…."] 저녁이 되자 응원봉이 등장했고, 명동역 일대까지 행진이 이어졌습니다.
["탄핵 무효! (탄핵 무효.)"] 탄핵 촉구 집회로부터 약 1km 떨어진 곳에선, 윤 대통령 탄핵 반대 집회가 열렸습니다. 참가자들은 태극기와 성조기를 흔들고 비상계엄이 합법적이었다며 탄핵 무효를 주장했습니다.
두 집회 참가자 간의 충돌에 대비해 광화문 곳곳엔 경찰이 배치됐습니다. 오는 31일에도 경복궁역 일대에 거리 행진이 예고 되는 등 당분간 탄핵 관련 집회가 계속 예고되자, 정부는 안전 관리에 나섰습니다.
정부는 주말마다 광화문역과 안국역에 안전 요원을 배치해 위험 요소를 감시하고 사고에 대비하기로 했습니다.
Despite the subzero weather, Gwanghwamun Square was packed with people.
Wearing thick outerwear and hats pulled down tight, participants called for an investigation into President Yoon Suk-yeol on charges of treason.
["Arrest him, arrest him."]
[Lee Hee-seong / Seocho District, Seoul: "The quickest way to prevent chaos is a swift impeachment. That’s why it’s essential to ensure the impeachment of the president is upheld this winter."]
As evening fell, light sticks appeared, and the march continued to the Myeongdong Station area.
["Invalid impeachment! (Invalid impeachment!)"]
About 1 kilometer away from the rally calling for impeachment, a protest opposing President Yoon's impeachment was held.
Participants waved Korean and American flags, arguing that the declaration of martial law was legitimate and insisting the impeachment should be nullified.
To prepare for clashes between participants from both rallies, police were stationed throughout Gwanghwamun.
With another march scheduled around Gyeongbokgung Station on the 31st and continued impeachment-related protests expected for the foreseeable future, the government has taken steps to ensure safety.
The government plans to deploy safety personnel at Gwanghwamun and Anguk stations every weekend to monitor risks and prevent accidents.
