Amid the imminent execution of the arrest warrant for Yoon Suk Yeol's president, criticism has also been heard within the ruling party over President Yoon's message to some supporters last night.

The opposition party criticized President Yoon as a mobilization order issued to far-right forces and demanded that the investigation be conducted confidently.

I'm connecting you with a reporter from the National Assembly. Reporter Hong Min Gi!

[Reporter]
Yes, it's the National Assembly.)

Yes, what is the reaction from the ruling party to President Yoon's message last night?

[Reporter]
Yes, Shin Dong-wook, a senior spokesman for the People's Power, met with reporters after a leadership meeting in the morning.

We drew the line for now that we believe President Yoon's message is not a matter of making an official position of the party.

However, many people said they were preventing them from having problems issuing arrest warrants, and they were concerned that conflicts could occur with investigative agencies.

Let's listen to it for ourselves.

[Shin Dong-wook / Senior spokesman for People's Power: We hope that many people will exercise their self-restraint to prevent that from happening]Asked whether President Yoon should comply with the execution of an arrest warrant,

, he declined to say, saying, "It's not what we have to say."

However, there are not many critical views within the ruling party.

Representative Kim Sang-wook criticized President Yoon in a CBS radio interview, saying, "I hope you stop making ridiculous excuses, playing with words, and acting like a legal crane."

In a phone call with YTN, a floor official also pointed out that it does not help the party as a whole, saying, "It will only work for the strong supporters."

The opposition party, which immediately commented after President Yoon's message came out last night, raised the level of criticism again today.

This morning, members of the parliament have also been issued an emergency standby order in preparation for emergency situations.

Park Sung-joon, the deputy floor leader, said in a radio interview that he had ordered far-right forces to unite and protect themselves, adding that it could lead to an extreme situation.

Floor leader Park Chan-dae also urged the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit to execute an arrest warrant today at a morning meeting.

I also issued a warning to the presidential security service, so let's hear the morning meeting remarks firsthand.

The Democratic Party plans to hold an emergency meeting later today to discuss future measures.

Yes, please also tell us what remarks came out at the first morning meeting of the ruling and opposition parties of the new year.

[Reporter]
Yes, at the first morning meeting in 2025, the leaders of the ruling and opposition parties began the meeting with New Year's greetings and condolences for the victims of the plane disaster.

After that, it led to a workshop for each other.

First, the People's Power brought up the judicial risks of Lee Jae-myung, the leader of the Democratic Party.

Kwon Sung-dong, the floor leader, urged Lee to issue a second ruling on the Public Official Election Act by the middle of next month, saying that the judiciary has been giving Lee a particularly generous ruling.

He then pointed out that confidence in the fairness of the judiciary will inevitably falter if the review of President Yoon's warrant is expedited and the representative Lee's ruling is delayed.

On the other hand, Park Chan-dae, the floor leader of the Democratic Party, said that the people's power is openly opposing impeachment and ignoring the constitution and laws because they are not enough to defend the rebellion.

He also urged the acting president Choi Sang-mok to immediately approve the nomination of a candidate for constitutional judge, which was put on hold, and to immediately request the recommendation of a permanent special prosecutor for civil war.

[Anchor]
Yes, please explain what will happen to the "Both Special Prosecutors Act" that Acting Chief Choi Sang-mok exercised his veto power.

[Reporter]
Yes, earlier, Acting President Choi Sang-mok exercised the right to request reconsideration, or veto, the independent counsel for the rebellion and the independent counsel for Kim Gun-hee.

The Democratic Party, which led the passage of the bill, is considering how and when to re-decide.

In particular, the independent counsel for the rebellion believes that it is urgently necessary to re-decide, and is also considering a plan to separate it from the Kim Special Counsel Act and put it to a re-decision.

On the other hand, the ruling party has opposed the provision that gives only the opposition party the right to recommend the independent counsel is unconstitutional.

However, it has left open the possibility that the independent counsel, whose unconstitutionality has been removed, can be discussed as much as possible, but the strategy is to discard it by voting down the independent counsel law.

We cannot rule out the possibility of a plenary session for a vote as early as this week.
