Citizens who oppose impeachment are also gathered near the official residence, right?
[Reporter]
Yes, supporters of President Yoon have gathered near the entrance to the official residence since the day.
Earlier, when news broke that Cho Dong-bon would stop executing the warrant and withdraw, he cheered, saying he won.
However, there is an atmosphere that you can't relax because you don't know when you'll try to execute the warrant again.
Supporters claim that the execution of arrest warrants by the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit and the police is invalid, and President Yoon is raising his voice to protect it.
In the midst of this, some rally participants threw raw eggs at reporters.
As the warrant is valid until the 6th, it is expected to continue the rally by guarding the site.There is also a risk of conflict as the pros and cons of impeachment
gather in front of the official residence.
Although they are continuing their rallies in different places, the police are controlling the scene in case of a possible situation, as they often scuffle whenever they encounter each other because they are already in a raging atmosphere.
