With the execution of Yoon Suk Yeol's presidential arrest warrant set in, the Democratic Party urged the president and the bodyguard to cooperate, saying there should be no exceptions to law enforcement.
The power of the people has not made a separate position, and is closely watching the execution of the warrant.
I'm connecting you with a reporter from the National Assembly. Reporter Park Jung-hyun, shall we hear from the Democratic Party first?
[Reporter]
Yes, the Democratic Party of Korea said that strict Korean law enforcement against suspected insurrectionists should not be hindered no matter what, and President Yoon himself walked out of his official residence and demanded that the execution of the warrant be smooth.
He also pointed out to the Presidential Security Service that the warrant should be followed by the enforcement of the law as much as it has been issued, and that unfair orders should be firmly rejected.
In particular, Acting President Choi Sang-mok urged all state agencies, including the Security Service, to issue orders to cooperate with the execution of warrants.
The Democratic Party also asked the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit and the police, which conduct the execution of the warrant, to make every effort to manage safety as there is a possibility of physical conflict with protesters.
The Democratic Party decided not to visit the warrant execution site separately at the party level, judging that it is important to reduce risk factors along with field variables.
In addition, while watching the execution of the arrest warrant, it is expected to coordinate the timing of the resolution of the independent counsel for the independent counsel and Kim, who returned to the National Assembly due to the exercise of Choi's right to demand reconsideration.

Please also tell us about the situation of the ruling party.
[Reporter]
The power of the people has not yet made a separate official position.
First of all, it is to watch the execution of the warrant, but attention is being paid to whether the leadership will express its position at the floor meeting to be held shortly.
However, it is also evident that the ruling party is reticent in the unprecedented situation of executing an incumbent presidential warrant.A leadership official who
said in a phone call with YTN, "Isn't it difficult for the party to have a position in the current situation?" but expressed concern that there should be no physical conflict.
The power of the people has only expressed a somewhat fundamental position that "everyone should be equal before the law,"
But the members of the Judiciary Committee emphasized the high possibility of illegality, saying that President Yoon's warrant excluded the application of the criminal procedure law.
The provisions of the law say, "Places that require military secrets cannot be seized and searched without the consent of the person in charge." Except for the application of this clause, it is interpreted that it is illegal for the security service to prevent the execution of the warrant.
