One hour into the rally, the participants had filled Tamar Park.

The organizer, Leo, interrupted the speech and asked whether the reporter of "Hong Kong 01" was present, saying that he had been interviewed earlier, but found that the theme of the rally was distorted as "five major demands" after reporting the street, and criticized the media. It would be unprofessional to misbehave, and people present booed.

However, after reviewing the entire related report, "Hong Kong 01" never described that the rally theme was related to the "five major appeals", but only pointed out that there was a socialist and socialist strike strike conference in Edinburgh Place, Central, which included the "five major appeals". The allegations are wrong and out of context.
