The news that the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit appointed the police to execute the arrest warrant for President Yoon Suk Yeol has also begun a battle in the political circles of the ruling and opposition parties.
The People's Power urged President Yoon to conduct a "arbitrary investigation" without "compulsion," and the Democratic Party of Korea demanded that the police immediately arrest him.
I'll connect you to the National Assembly and find out more. Reporter Lee Junyeop!
First, please tell the ruling party's reaction.
[Reporter]
Kwon Young-se, the emergency committee chairman of the People's Power, stressed that President Yoon should be subjected to a "arbitrary investigation" in accordance with the principle of the Criminal Procedure Act.
Democratic Party Chairman Lee Jae-myung and former lawmaker Cho Kuk of the Cho Kuk Innovation Party were also investigated without detention earlier, so President Yoon, who has only been suspended from his duties, should be treated the same way.
The ruling party is continuing to argue that the arrest warrant is unconstitutional and illegal because the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit does not have the authority to investigate rebellion.
The Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit said it did "warrant shopping," and yesterday the court rejected the appeal of the arrest warrant and repeated the logic that it did not accept.
In addition, about 30 ruling party lawmakers visited the presidential residence in Hannam-dong, Seoul, and administrative committee members visited the National Police Agency, and the people's power was taken to prevent arrest.

What is the opposition's position?

The Democratic Party also strongly criticized the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit, saying it would not overlook its behavior, which was the opposite reason.
Floor leader Park Chan-dae stood up for his incompetence and indecision in front of numerous people who stayed up all night calling for the arrest of President Yoon,
The
party is also discussing the possibility of impeachment of Acting President Choi Sang-mok, who has the authority to command the security service.
Park Won-dae said Choi should immediately remove the head of the security and head of the headquarters, and said he would take reasonable measures if nothing was done.
Democratic Party members are also calling for the execution of warrants today, such as visiting the National Police Agency, to firmly establish the principle that no one can avoid law enforcement.

The ruling party is also on the offensive over the change of the impeachment bill, and controversy is brewing, right?
[Reporter]
Senior members of the People's Power will visit National Assembly Speaker Woo Won-sik this afternoon to demand a re-decision by the National Assembly to change the impeachment motion.
The National Assembly's impeachment investigation team criticized the withdrawal of the rebellion, saying that it was trying to advance the impeachment trial to avoid the "judicial risk" of representative Lee Jae-myung.
A key party official said in a call with YTN that there was no reason for impeachment except for the crime of rebellion, and argued that the impeachment bill would not be passed if it was re-voted.
On the other hand, the Democratic Party of Korea refuted the claim by saying that the impeachment bill was adjusted to suit the purpose of the constitutional trial, not criminal trial.
The opposition impeachment commissioner explained to YTN that the "crime" against him was only changed to "action," and that the judgment on the act would be made in the Constitutional Court.
He added that floor leader Kwon Sung-dong also did it during the impeachment trial of former President Park Geun Hye in the past, and that he thought it was a natural judgment.
So far, I've delivered it to you by the National Assembly.
