SEOUL, November 30 (AJP) - Thousands of citizens marched through central Seoul Saturday evening to protest President Yoon Suk Yeol's repeated use of veto power.

The march, organized by civic groups under the banner "Reject the Veto Power," came after the president's third veto of a special counsel bill to investigate first lady Kim Keon Hee.

Protesters braved rain and cold weather, carrying candles and signs demanding democratic accountability, as opposition party leaders joined the demonstration near Gwanghwamun Square in central Seoul.
