As Airborne Minister Oh Dong-woon said he would execute the arrest warrant for President Yoon in principle, the ruling and opposition parties are also paying attention to whether the warrant is actually executed.

The power of the people is the president's responsibility to investigate and trial, but the Democratic Party has repeatedly urged the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit to execute the warrant immediately.

Let's connect to the National Assembly and listen to the details.

Reporter Son Hyo-jung, please tell us the movement of the ruling and opposition parties in detail today!

[Reporter]
Yes, as the execution of President Yoon's arrest warrant has emerged as a top-notch concern, tensions in the ruling camp are also rising.

Kwon Young-se, chairman of the emergency committee, and other ruling party leaders held a private meeting at the headquarters after paying tribute to the Memorial on New Year's Day.

In addition to various pending issues, if the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit attempts to execute an arrest warrant, it seems that the party continues to struggle with its response and level.Chairman of the emergency committee

met with reporters after a closed meeting and said he would properly talk to the police and other related agencies to prevent any casualties during the execution of the arrest warrant.

However, if the forced investigation of the president becomes a reality, there may be a voice within the party that it should distance itself from the president.

The Democratic Party is also closely watching the investigation of President Yoon.As President

Yoon repeatedly avoided the summons, the issuance of an arrest warrant was inevitable, and urged the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit to execute it quickly.

To the Presidential Security Service, he stressed that what the Security Service should protect is the president who protects the Constitution, not the rebellion that violates the Constitution.

In a written briefing, Kang Yoo-jung, a spokesman for the floor, pressed Acting President Choi Sang-mok to order the Security Agency to cooperate in the execution of arrest warrants.

The appointment of constitutional judges and the bilateral special prosecution law remain the detonator of the conflict between the ruling and opposition parties, so please tell us the political outlook!

[Reporter]
In response to Acting President Choi Sang-mok's decision to appoint two of the three candidates for the Constitutional Court recommended by the National Assembly, National Assembly Speaker Woo Won-sik is considering calling for a competition trial.

It is an unconstitutional decision that violates the legislature's right to elect a constitutional judge for the National Assembly, and it is expected to make a detailed position as early as this week.

Democratic opposition is also strong.

Park Sung-joon, the deputy floor leader, said in an interview with MBC radio that it was a submissive decision and pointed out that he did not give Choi the authority to demand an agreement between the ruling and opposition parties, but it was not in line with the constitutional order.

The People's Power is also protesting the acting president's decision, but criticizes the appointment itself, saying that the acting president has exceeded the scope of his authority.

Floor leader Kwon Sung-dong told reporters at the headquarters today that he has no plans to consult with the opposition on the pending candidate for constitutional justice.

The "insurrection independent counsel" and "Kim Gun-hee's independent counsel law", which were vetoed yesterday, are also expected to return to the National Assembly and vote again soon.

Although it is said that the power of the people should be rejected in the re-vote, the contents of the special prosecution law, which considers the toxic clause, indicated that it can be negotiated with the opposition party.

However, some analysts say that the purpose of the special prosecutor's re-vote is to crack down on intra-party departure votes and maintain a single rejection,
The
Democratic Party also has doubts about the ruling party's willingness to negotiate.

A party official said in a call with YTN that if the ruling party is really willing to negotiate, it can propose an amendment to the Special Counsel Act.

In the end, negotiations between the ruling and opposition parties over the two independent counsel laws are expected to be outlined only after the plenary session's re-vote.

So far, I've delivered it to you by the National Assembly.
