Politicians are also watching the situation closely as the deadline for the arrest warrant of the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit for President Yoon Suk Yeol is just a day away.
The Democratic Party pressed the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit to re-execute the warrant without hesitation and fulfill its responsibilities, and the People's Power criticized the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit's order to the acting president.

The Democratic Party of Korea held a general meeting of lawmakers on holidays and demanded that the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit re-execute the arrest warrant for President Yoon as soon as possible.
Park Chan-dae, the floor leader of the National Assembly, said in his public statement that it is disappointing to see the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit passing away, and pressed him not to hesitate to fulfill his responsibilities.
He also pointed out that no disciplinary action was taken against the president even after a month of martial law, and accused the ruling party of being unable to avoid criticism of accomplices.
Spokesperson Han Min-soo also told President Yoon in a written briefing that no former president in any previous government has refused to execute court-issued warrants and that he should comply with them.
On the other hand, the power of the people is that the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit and the court are working outside their authority.
The Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit does not have the right to investigate allegations of rebellion, and it is unfair for the court to specify exceptions to the Criminal Procedure Act in the warrant.
Floor spokesman Seo Ji-young said at a National Assembly press conference that the military and police rejected the presidential security agency's request, and that the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit asked the acting president to cooperate in executing the warrant, which is a downbeat.
He said the collapse of the hierarchy was due to the indiscriminate impeachment of the Democratic Party of Korea, and urged the Constitutional Court to quickly make a judgment on the impeachment of former acting Han Deok-soo to prevent disorder.

Please organize this week's National Assembly schedule as well.
[Reporter]
The opposition party is determined to quickly re-vote the so-called Bilateral Special Prosecutors Act this week.
We are asking the National Assembly Speaker's Office for cooperation to present the re-vote agenda to the plenary session as early as the day after tomorrow.
Even if the two bills are rejected, they are determined to reissue them immediately.
As the investigation into the alleged rebellion, including the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit, has been put on hold, the investigation should be accelerated by launching a special prosecutor as soon as possible.
On the other hand, both the independent counsel and the independent counsel Kim are confronting each other, calling it unconstitutional and illegal.
Analysts say that if the special prosecution is passed, an all-round investigation is expected in the ruling camp, which reflects concerns that unilateral public opinion could be created and the camp could collapse.
Some argue that rather than sticking to the rejection, it is necessary to present an amendment that adjusts the method of recommending the special prosecutor candidate and the scope of the investigation.
However, the ruling party left the possibility open, but explained that discussions with the Democratic Party have not yet taken place.
In the meantime, the second meeting of the Special Committee on the National Assembly's investigation into the civil war is expected to be held the day after tomorrow, and on the 8th, questions about pending issues of the National Assembly's steering committee are expected to be held against the president's office, and similarly, a clash between the ruling and opposition parties is expected.
