KöMaL problem A, 2020

Geometry Difficulty 8.0 Shortlist Prove it Hungary

Let ω\omega denote the incircle of triangle ABCABC, which is tangent to side BCBC at point DD. Let GG denote the second intersection of line ADAD and circle ω\omega. The tangent to ω\omega at point GG intersects sides ABAB and ACAC at points EE and FF. The circumscribed circle of DEFDEF intersects ω\omega at points DD and MM. The circumscribed circle of BCGBCG intersects ω\omega at point GG and NN. Prove that lines ADAD and MNMN are parallel.
