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 people's power is claimed to be an unreasonable attempt to execute the warrant, and the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit, which does not have the right to investigate the rebellion, responded that the case should be handed over to the police.
I'm connecting you with a reporter from the National Assembly. Reporter PARK JEONG HYUN!
Let's hear from the Democratic Party.
[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 raised his voice to comply with the execution of the warrant.
Representative Lee Jae-myung pointed out that the law is equal to everyone, and that the whole should not be sacrificed for the benefit of someone's nous and specific groups.
It's interpreted as a roundabout criticism, so let's listen to it firsthand.
[Lee Jae-myung / Minjoo Party leader: The law is equal for everyone. The economy lives only in a predictable society. The whole should not be sacrificed for the special interests of someone's abode, of any group.
Park Chan-dae, the floor leader of the party, also defined President Yoon as a "civil war monster" and criticized him for still refusing to comply with the investigation by watching far-right YouTube at his official residence even though martial law has already been a month.
He warned that anyone who interferes with the execution of the warrant will be punished as an insurrectionist, saying that prompt arrest is essential and arrest is inevitable.
There are also calls within the Democratic Party for Acting President Choi Sang-mok to issue an order to all state agencies, including security agencies, to cooperate with the execution of warrants.
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.
At the same time, he asked the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit and the police, which are conducting the execution of the warrant, to make every effort to manage safety as there is a possibility of physical conflict with protesters.
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]
People's power called for restraint from trying to arrest the incumbent president too much.
At the morning meeting, floor leader Kwon Sung-dong strongly opposed the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit, aiming at the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit, saying, "Why are you working like this?" It seems that the level of speech has been raised somewhat from the cautious standpoint that the investigation is up to the president.
[Kwon Seong-dong / People's Power Floor Leader: No one in the field should be injured. The Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit should not try to forcefully execute the warrant, but rather try to fight the people. It's a matter that depends on the national prestige of the Republic of Korea.
He also pointed out that it is not appropriate for the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit, which has controversy over whether to investigate the rebellion, to continue the investigation at a time when social conflicts persist due to the pros and cons of impeachment, and that the case should be handed over to the police.
In particular, he pointed out that it is a convenient "judge shopping," citing one point in the Western District Court, not the Seoul Central District Court, where the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit has usually requested a warrant.
The court then arbitrarily judged whether or not to apply the law by specifying the exclusion of the criminal procedure law in the arrest warrant of President Yoon, setting the day that it was no different from the judge standing above the 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.Floor leader
argued that the judge needs to be excluded from his duties, and earlier, members of the party's Judiciary Committee have argued for impeachment of the judge.
Yoon Sang-hyun, a member of the People's Power, is known to be inside the residence, which is currently facing confrontation due to arrest attempts, and Yoon previously opposed the president's arrest at an anti-impeachment rally in front of the residence.
