Politics on. The execution of an arrest warrant for the president of Yoon Suk Yeol is imminent. The tension is rising. If the security agency prevents it, conflicts with the police will be inevitable now. "Politics On," which looks into the outside and inside of politics, today we will analyze it with Yoon Ki-chan, vice chairman of the People's Power Law Committee, and Cho Ki-yeon, vice chairman of the Democratic Party of Korea's Law Committee. Please come in. Hello, there is speculation that the arrest warrant for President Yoon Suk Yeol is imminent. Tensions are also rising in the political world. We will listen to the reaction of the ruling and opposition parties.

We will first deliver the breaking news that just came in and continue the conversation. Now, in front of the official residence, there is a rally of supporters supporting President Yoon Suk Yeol. This is the screen you're looking at right now. It's a news report that some supporters in front of the official residence invaded the road. This is a breaking news that the police have ordered the dissolution accordingly. I'll tell you again. It is a news report that the police ordered the dissolution of some supporters protesting in front of the presidential residence in Yoon Suk Yeol as they invaded the road. News reports that they are lying on the road and refusing to disperse at the police's order to enter the sidewalk. News reports that some supporters of the president have also been taken to hospital for health problems. Amid the news that the execution of the warrant by the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit is imminent, the rally of supporters continues in front of the official residence. It is a news report that some supporters occupied the road and ordered the police to enter the sidewalk and to disband. Supporters are refusing the order to disband. We will deliver the relevant breaking news as soon as it comes in. Both of you are former vice chairman of the legal committee. First, we started counting the execution of the arrest warrant for the incumbent president. President Yoon's side and the president's side are strongly protesting right now. It's a claim that the warrant itself is wrong.

[Yoon Ki-chan]
According to the Corruption Investigations Unit Act, the agency that requests a warrant itself is the agency that receives the warrant. The court was actually a central district court, but in law. Of course, you can supplement your address, that is, the court that has jurisdiction over the address of the suspect, but you have never filed a claim with the Western District Court. Let's just say that's the case. However, after looking at the contents of the warrant, it plays a role in further misunderstanding why it was requested to the Western District Court. For example, if you look at the warrant, under the Criminal Law, when we confiscate a place that requires military confidentiality, or search for items related to confidentiality, we need to obtain approval from the supervisor or person in charge.

But there is a phrase to the effect that you don't need to receive it. This is a big problem in terms of the fact that the warrant judge excluded the application of the law as if legislating something that was not actually in his authority. Therefore, it is a serious violation of the law whether only this part will be invalidated separately or the entire warrant will be invalid because this part is inextricably related. There is this claim of people's power, and the president is making that claim. Personally, if you look at our Constitution or laws, it can only be enforced by warrants issued under the Constitution and laws, but I have never given a warrant judge the authority to do this in the law or the Constitution. For example, there's something like this. Before sunrise, after sunset, you can't execute a warrant at this time. However, according to the law, it is possible if it is stated in the warrant so that the warrant can be executed even at that time.

If there is a law like this, then the judge in charge of the warrant is authorized to write it there. However, Articles 11 and 111, 110 not to apply the Criminal Code, and nevertheless, there is a reason why the president made such a request to the Western District Court, which was mentioned earlier. #There is some aspect that has further raised misunderstanding about this.

[Anchor]
It's a position of people's power. The Democratic Party's position is different. The Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit asked for three attendances. It is argued that not responding to those three requests for attendance and specifying that the court's warrant applies exceptions to Articles 110 and 111 of the Criminal Procedure Act can be the basis for arresting the warrant.

[Early Delayed]
I'm even taking issue with the court's arrest warrant. It's a claim that can't be established by law. The reason why Articles 110 and 111 were mentioned was to clarify legal uncertainty because they were expected to use this part of the interpretation and to oppose the execution of the warrant. This is a confirmation statement. Articles 110 and 111 say that in normal, military, or official, confidentiality can be prioritized, the search warrant can be approved, and if the state's significant interests are contrary, the approval cannot be denied. So, if you are subject to investigation as a suspect in this case and do not comply with three summons requests, the laws that Articles 110 and 111 of the Criminal Procedure Act try to protect have nothing to do with military secrets or official secrets. It's a warrant to secure the president's personal life. Since an arrest warrant was issued along with a search warrant to the extent necessary, there is no room for the original Article 110 or 111 Criminal Procedure Act. Because the judge continued to take issue with it, he wrote it to confirm it, and because this part will not cause new controversy, President Yoon Suk Yeol and the people's power side are unconditionally rejecting court-issued warrants while making claims that cannot be established by law. As the position of the people's power came out, no one has a justification to reject the court's arrest warrant. Of course, we have to work on it and I don't think we should interfere with the execution of the arrest warrant.

[Yoon Ki-chan]
However, it is good for us to develop different logic depending on the camp, but this is not an area of interpretation of the law. Because there was a book that the judges of the court read called the Court Practice Review before. If you look at it, it's written. Then, in the Presidential Criminal Procedure Act, the current Supreme Court Justice Roh Tae-ak is also included in the book. For example, the same question was raised during the special prosecution in 2017. At that time, I even made a provisional disposition to the court because there was a problem with the non-acceptance disposition of the consent. But what the court said was that this is a matter to be solved through legislation.

This is because the court cannot order the person to accept the obligation to say yes to you. While interpreting it like that, they said it was a problem to be solved through legislation, so you can bring a law to see if the judge in charge of warrants has the authority to do this. But there's nothing like that in the statute.
If the Democratic Party has a problem with this, we need to change the law, I understand this. However, the judge who interprets and applies the current law has written it down and says there is no problem with it. I think this is beyond the realm of interpretation.

[Anchor]
Are you saying you're out of the judiciary's scope?

[Yoon Ki-chan]
That's how you look at it.

[Anchor]
That's the argument.

[Early Delayed]
There is an interpretation of the court's practice for Articles 110 and 111. It is intended that the investigation should not be conducted even by harming the interests of military secrets or official secrets in relation to ordinary criminal investigations. It applies to general cases. Now, the president is a suspect in rebellion. And you are excluded from the privilege of fluoridation. Therefore, it is not an example to which the existing interpretation of Articles 110 and 11 is applied. There may be several interpretive theories. There is no exception to this. Article 110 or 111 is not applicable to this issue.

[Anchor]
I see. First of all, the warrant has been issued. It will be effective until the 6th of this month. It looks like he's going to execute the warrant. It's the execution of an arrest warrant. You're looking at the scene right now. At this time, in front of Hannam-dong's official residence, a rally of supporters supporting President Yoon Suk Yeol is underway. As I told you earlier in the news, you shouldn't occupy the road, but I think you're occupying the road now. So the police ordered the dissolution. However, supporters are refusing the order to disband. In the meantime, there are reports that the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit will execute the warrant as early as today. The Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit also decided to inform reporters immediately when executing a warrant. Journalists are guarding the scene right now. So far, such an atmosphere has not been read. What do you guys expect? Do you think the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit will execute the warrant as early as today?

[Yoon Ki-chan]
It's today and tomorrow, but on holidays, more people, more people are coming together, so there's a greater chance of bloodshed between those who execute and block warrants. So I don't think it's a holiday, but it's today and tomorrow, but if you look at it at 2 o'clock tomorrow, there's a preparation date for impeachment by the Constitutional Court. Is it really right to secure recruits by executing an arrest warrant before the preparation date? I personally think it will be tomorrow because there may be various stinging eyes that may hinder the progress of the impeachment trial date. I thought it would be after 2 o'clock tomorrow, so I came to think about it.

[Anchor]
Do you think it will be after 2 p.m. tomorrow?

[Yoon Ki-chan]
Because I have a preparation date at 2 o'clock.

[Anchor]
It's the second anniversary of the Constitutional Court's trial. The referee's preparation date is tomorrow. You expected it around 2 p.m. What do you think of Cho Ki-yeon, chairman of the legal committee?

[Early Delayed]
The Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit will not consider an impeachment trial date. Looking at the enforcement conditions and the current situation, it seems that they are considering situations and times that can be executed without conflict as much as possible. Today, it is also possible at any time because the arrest warrant specifies that it can be executed after sunset. So, considering minimizing conflicts with protesters and conflicts with security agencies, it seems that it can be executed today if possible.

[Anchor]
If the execution of the arrest warrant is prevented, can the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit appoint a security guard on charges of abuse of authority and obstruction of the execution of special public affairs?

[Early Delayed]
That's right. An arrest warrant was issued by the court. There's no legal basis for the bodyguard to stop this now. If you physically block this, of course, it will interfere with the execution of special public affairs. Because it is clear that it will be prevented by the power of the group, if the security service collectively blocks it, it may be arrested immediately on charges of abuse of authority for obstructing special public affairs meetings and giving such instructions. The Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit's position is said to be firm, but if it stops physical conflict during the execution process, there is no legal problem even if it notifies the site that it is the current crime of obstruction of special public affairs or abuse of authority and initiates immediate action.

[Anchor]
How do you think the bodyguard will respond?

[Yoon Ki-chan]
There are two laws that apply to security. One is that there is a basic law on security, and it relates to Articles 110 and 111 of the Criminal Law, which we discussed just now. It may be judged that there is a problem with the application of the warrant here. The other thing is not the statute. Let's say that's the law because it's on the warrant. The rest have the Military Facility Protection Act. According to the Military Facility Protection Act, the official residence is designated as a military protection facility. From October 2022. So, when you enter a military protection facility, you are required to enter with the permission of the unit commander. Then, if you enter without the permission of the unit commander, you are subject to punishment.

So, if the security service or the 55th Guard stops them, this is also their legitimate execution of official duties. The execution of public affairs on both sides of
was met. Another thing is that the security service actually has the status of judicial police officers. They can also be arrested if they become aware of the crime. So it's possible to arrest each other.

[Anchor]
Then, in the case of the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit, the police task force can also be mobilized.

[Yoon Ki-chan]
The police task force cannot be together when arresting or investigating. It is to maintain order in that part, and there are two legal grounds for our request for a police mobilization, and one can request cooperation in the investigation according to the Corruption Investigations Unit Act. The cooperation is only that much. Another thing is the police cheer. Cheering means that we're helping you, not what kind of support you have. The range of support when you make a request for support is also to maintain order. Since it is to maintain public well-being, it cannot be directly mobilized for investigation and arrest or search.

Therefore, it seems that the police, knowing that there is such a legal problem, will not go beyond their mobile unit or mobilization of troops. Therefore, this is an open area for interpretation, so I think the Director of Airborne considers it in case. Then, look carefully at the laws and regulations again because this arrest is for subpoena, and subpoena is for investigation. Then, since lawyers such as lawyer Yoon Gap-geun are designated as to how to investigate the case, it is up to discuss and decide with them, but why do you execute such a controversial warrant? I don't think it's correct.

[Anchor]
The president's position is that if the task force comes out, it can be arrested by the security service?

[Early Delayed]
First of all, the part that is subject to permission under the Military Facility Protection Act. As this is open to interpretation, the power of the presidential office or the people is claimed, but not at all. There is a controlled protection area in the military facility protection area. There is a restricted reserve. In the case of the presidential office, it was notified as a restricted protected area. Here, in the case of an arrest warrant, it is not permission from the commander of the unit. There is no such regulation. I'm just claiming the parts that are not open to interpretation as if they are subject to permission by diverting the regulations.

Second, regarding the task force, it is also argued that there is room for interpretation and is not clearly defined in the law, but Article 17 of the Public Offices Act can ask the head of the agency for cooperation in the investigation into the authority and scope of duties of the head of the Public Offices. According to the operation rules of the task force, investigation work under the National Police or Local Police Act is to be supported. If you look at Article 3 of the National Police Act, the investigation work is specified. Therefore, even if the task force supports, there is no problem in the law, so we only need to examine the legal system. However, judicial police and judicial police officers are making such claims and creating controversy by listening to parts that are not controversial under the actual law.

[Yoon Ki-chan]
But one thing is clear: the task force is not a judicial police officer. The task force is a police force that maintains order like our police force in the past, and they do not have the right to investigate. How do you mobilize them to seek cooperation in the investigation?

[Anchor]
I see. Wait a minute. We are broadcasting the road conditions in front of Hannam-dong's official residence live. Some supporters in front of the official residence have invaded the road. The police ordered the dissolution, but they are not responding. Some supporters were told to lie on the road when they were ordered to enter the sidewalk. He refused to disband. Please show me the screen on the left. I've just barricaded myself. The police have blocked the road from being occupied anymore. You can see it. If you block the road like that, the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit could execute an arrest warrant as early as today. Isn't it difficult to execute an arrest warrant if you occupy the road like that? How do you see it?

[Early Delayed]
First of all, the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit or the Public Servant Corruption Investigations Unit should carefully judge this situation. I think the issue of enforcement so that armed conflict does not occur should be premised. Even in that situation, I think there is still a possibility of enforcement considering other methods, entry paths, various methods, and time. Apart from other matters, I have said that the President of Yoon Suk Yeol takes legal and political responsibility through a public statement.
The legal claim can be claimed as the right of the suspect, so shouldn't we claim it while attending and being investigated? The
court has issued an arrest warrant.

And it's a warrant issued because I refused to attend three times. If you attend now and respond to the investigation by making the legal claim, you can exercise your rights later by claiming an illegal investigation, whether at the trial stage or before the prosecution stage. However, the fact that the legal argument is actually responding to the situation by appealing to supporters in that way while making claims that are not legal is not at all compatible with what he said, and that it is creating a very irresponsible and dangerous situation in that it is causing conflicts with the people. You can only look at it like this.

[Anchor]
President Yoon Suk Yeol said he would take political and legal responsibility. And doesn't refusing to comply with an arrest warrant also break the law and order in a way?

[Yoon Ki-chan]
However, there is some aspect that the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit provided an excuse. Because we've talked about it from the beginning, but the police have the right to investigate the crime of rebellion. Because of the convenience of the warrant, the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit is what should be done in the special police book. The reason why the situation has progressed so far is that the police originally apply for a warrant to the prosecution, and the prosecution requests a warrant and executes it. However, the police wanted to apply for a warrant through the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit due to the relationship with the prosecution. However, in the case of an assignment warrant or a seizure and search warrant, the police can apply and the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit can request it. However, in the case of personal warrants and arrest warrants, the police cannot apply. The Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit has to do it alone. As a result, the case was transferred to the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit. Therefore, if you look at the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit, the same thing that happened to the prosecution before. Whether they have the right to investigate the crime of rebellion was raised. For example, people like former Minister Kim Yong-hyun can recognize the crime of rebellion while investigating the crime of abuse of authority. Because the crime of abuse of authority is obligated to be investigated. However, it seems strange that the president recognizes the crime of rebellion while investigating the crime of abuse of authority because of the privilege of fluoridation. The Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit claims that they could not investigate the crime of abuse of authority, but they recognized the crime of rebellion while investigating it. That's why there's a problem from there, and there can be various controversies.

But since then, there has been a strange thing like me in the warrant issued by the Western District Court, so the arrested party has provided an excuse to raise the question of whether there is a problem with the warrant. Another thing is that the president is prohibited from leaving the country and is not going to run away. Then, it was necessary to coordinate a little more regarding the method of investigation. Nevertheless, you issued an arrest warrant right away. Then, in the case of CEO Lee Jae-myung, he did not come out several times related to the card before, and he was prosecuted right away. Despite the fact that there is a next step in this way, an arrest warrant is issued and the contents of the arrest warrant are strange and attempted to execute it like this. Of course, I think we'll try to enforce it. However, I don't think it will make several enforcement attempts. If execution is not smooth after attempting to execute, I think it will move on to the next stage.

[Anchor]
Lawyer Cho Ki-yeon, what do you think of this argument of people's power?

[Early Delayed]
Immediately after the outbreak of the emergency martial law civil war on December 3, prosecutors and police competitively launched an investigation. At that time, the first argument from the president and the people's power side was that the prosecution did not have the right to investigate rebellion. When he was transferred to the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit and investigated, he made the same claim now, but he said it is illegal to investigate the crime of rebellion by abusing his authority.
The court decided by requesting a warrant with it. The court judged that it was not illegal. This is also said to be invalid. I wonder how the impeachment proceedings will come out. In conclusion, if we gather all these situations together, we don't recognize any of the current constitution, criminal procedure law, and criminal law systems. It denies the current legal system as well as the judicial system itself, and in the end, does the interpretation of Korea's legal system mean that the president should rely solely on interpretation now? In the end, it completely ignores the current legal system.

It's kind of open for interpretation and arguing as if it's open for dispute, but it's not like that at all. If you are going to make that claim, you can do it in response to the investigation and in accordance with the impeachment trial procedure. They did not respond to anything and submitted any data to the impeachment proceedings. It's already been about a month. As anyone can see now, President Yoon Suk Yeol has no strategy to overcome this crisis through supporters like me, regardless of whether it is an impeachment trial or an investigation, so I would like to reiterate that the legal investigation is illegal or that the impeachment process is illegal because it contradicts everything he said.

[Yoon Ki-chan]
However, if you don't comply with this investigation, the disadvantage will eventually be received by the suspect. If you don't comply with the impeachment trial process, the disadvantage is that the respondent to the impeachment trial will receive. Why is this not an obligation? For example, you are responding to impeachment proceedings. That's something you do on your own. As CEO Lee Jae-myung said in the past, if the investigation process is strange, wouldn't he argue that the investigation process is strange? Isn't this an issue that the prosecutor even impeached for being illegal? I'm arguing the same thing. The same goes for this. For example, if a judge is a judge in charge of a warrant, then can we prevent the application of the law like that from our point of view? That's not it. You can make the evaluation of that clear. It's something you can weigh. There is one question of whether it is necessary to hedge this kind of issue in advance, and the other is that from the president's point of view, there are issues related to security given by various presidential positions. There is room for interpretation because it relates to places or objects that can be applied to these things under the Security Act, the Military Facility Protection Act of the official residence, or under Articles 110 and 111 of the Penal Code. So the court will decide later on what claims to be open to that interpretation.

[Anchor]
I see. You are looking at the screen in front of the Hannam-dong residence at this time. As early as today, the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit could execute an arrest warrant. At this time, in front of the Hannam-dong residence, supporters continue to rally in support of President Yoon Suk Yeol. As I told you earlier on the news, some supporters have invaded the road. The police ordered the dissolution, but they are refusing to disband. If the police launch an arrest warrant at this time, they will have no choice but to use the road in front of that residence. Supporters have occupied the road in front of the official residence, so you are also seeing a situation where traffic in front of Hannam-dong is blocked. You're saying there's a possibility of a warrant being executed as early as tonight and again tonight, right?

[Early Delayed]
That's right. It is unlikely that the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit will attempt to win at least the cause of the arrest or the support of public opinion. It seems that they are actually considering how the arrest warrant can be executed. If you say that in front of your residence, it may be difficult to enter, so you have no choice but to consider the time and various situations of the assembly, and as I said earlier, there is a possibility that you may respond by looking at the situation at night or by looking at the situation in the future.

[Yoon Ki-chan]
But the truth is, it's not impossible to execute the warrant itself. It's not possible because they're taking the troops, but if they're wearing plain clothes, who'll notice how many people the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit is going? So I think it's impossible to do it because you're trying to mobilize troops to execute a compulsory warrant. As before, the execution procedure that one or two people go and copy the warrant is usually possible. However, due to concerns about a physical conflict, it is impossible to attempt to execute such a warrant using a police task force.

[Anchor]
At this time, when tensions are rising ahead of the execution of the first presidential arrest warrant in constitutional history, we are delivering a live broadcast in front of our official residence. In the midst of this, it was last night. President Yoon Suk Yeol sent a message directly to his supporters. Strong criticism came from the Democratic Party. Let's listen to the voices of Rep. Jung Sung-ho and Rep. Kim Yong-tae.

[Anchor]
Let's continue our conversation in a moment about the reason why President Yoon Suk Yeol sent the letter. This is the news that just came in. Lee Jae-myung, the leader of the Democratic Party of Korea, has a news report that it will begin on the 23rd of the appeals court in the election law case. In the first trial of the election law, he was sentenced to one year in prison and two years of probation. There is a news report that the second trial will begin on the 23rd. It's been two months since the first trial was sentenced. Earlier this morning, floor leader Kwon Sung-dong insisted that a second trial ruling of the Public Official Election Act should be made within February 15. Lee Jae-myung's election law appeal trial begins on the 23rd. It's been two months since the first trial. The sentence of the first trial was one year in prison and two years of probation. In the case of Lee Jae-myung's election law appeal trial, the second trial must be held in three months in accordance with the 6th, 3rd, and 3rd principles of the election law, so isn't it bound to be delayed if it starts on the 23rd?

[Yoon Ki-chan]
It's a little late. Because it was sentenced on November 15th, time is compulsory from the time of delivery until it is actually served. If you issue an appeal within 20 days, for example, from the time of delivery, you will be dismissed.
So I remember that the starting point on the 20th was almost delivered to the office on December 28th. So, I have to submit an appeal within 20 days from that day, and I have to submit a reason for appeal, and I decide the date after receiving the reason, but I think I set the date first.

I will be calculated by the deadline for submitting the reason for appeal from this week to early next week, but coincidentally, the deadline has been set after floor leader Kwon Sung-dong said that, so there is no room for misunderstanding in the political circle that the judiciary should also urge it to proceed quickly. So the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court also said that that part is six, three, and three according to principle. I hope that it will proceed quickly afterwards because they told me to apply it quickly in accordance with the purpose of the mandatory regulations.

[Anchor]
That's right. This morning, CEO Kwon Sung-dong said, "The judiciary should proceed with the trial quickly and strictly. He said that the second trial decision should be made within February 25, but the date for the start of the second trial's appeal came out immediately. Appeals will begin on the 23rd.

[Early Delayed]
I don't think the court will have decided after hearing CEO Kwon Sung-dong's words. It's a normal procedure. It was only a few days late in the delivery process. It is almost the same as the usual criminal case appeal schedule. February 15th is just mechanically claiming 6, 3, 3. The judiciary and the appeals court will probably proceed according to the schedule planned by the court. The court will proceed with the case if it deliberately delays when that time will be. It's a political issue. I think the court will proceed according to the usual procedure.

[Anchor]
I see. I just talked about the letter from the President of Yoon Suk Yeol. In the case of the Democratic Party of Korea, it was interpreted as an extreme right mobilization ordinance.

[Early Delayed]
That's the only way to look at it. Isn't the result leading to the situation in front of Hannam-dong's official residence right now?
I was surprised to see the contents of the letter. He said he would fight to the end to protect the liberal democratic system. And they also mentioned the forces of sovereignty, the forces of the anti-state. It's not a legal response. Anyone can see that this is a statement instigating the supporters. So, as Rep. Jung Sung-ho said, this is not to give a political position to the supporters and ask them to do it together, but to instigate extreme actions. In fact, today, we are inundated with reports of explosives installation. Of course, there is a possibility that it is a false report, but the police are dispatched to check it.
In fact, the president is creating this situation so that we can't rule out the possibility that this will lead to extreme behavior. It completely contradicts what I said. The way to take legal responsibility is simple. Respond to an arrest warrant, get investigated, respond quickly to the impeachment proceedings, write an answer and fight. The investigative agency can claim that it is a legally illegal investigation. If emergency martial law is not unconstitutional, you can attend the Constitutional Court through an agent or yourself. Let's do nothing and fight against our supporters against the encroaching forces of sovereignty and anti-state forces. Isn't it what you said in anticipation of this situation?

[Anchor]
However, regarding President Yoon Suk Yeol's letter, the leadership of the People's Power did not take any particular position today. Some MPs have taken a rather critical stance.

[Yoon Ki-chan]
I can read in a political message. It's a political message about the impeachment trial. I think I'm sending a message because I didn't have the purpose of the national constitution, and I'm sending a message that I've been working hard to protect the liberal democratic system. So, I would like the people to think about things related to the National Assembly and the system of protecting liberal democracy rather than justification for their actions. I think there is a hidden message that the National Assembly has legislated and impeached through various resolutions within the National Assembly, but those parts have also affected the breakdown of the liberal democratic system we have achieved to some extent. The other thing is that the president only has this.

I wonder what it would have been like for the people in there to put a message together not to interfere with the execution of public affairs, especially from their point of view, among the messages from some lawyers, the task force can arrest bodyguards and citizens. So those parts are quite inappropriate. These parts can be misunderstood by some in the political circle as if they were inciting an arrest, so I think it would be right for the lawyers to send a message that they should never get involved in the execution of official duties and step back so that they don't get hurt, and I want to say something about these messages.

I want to ask the Democratic Party of Korea to label it as a rebellion party against the power of the people from the Democratic Party's point of view. a political party for incitement of civil war Wouldn't this be the case with reports of explosives? So, I personally hope that you refrain from expressing these extreme expressions. If anyone incited a civil war and was involved in it, wouldn't they be punished according to the relevant laws? So I don't know if some of those people will be punished later, but there could be cases of those things. However, I think that the entire power of the people is a rebellion party, and that labeling it like this can be mistaken by taking coordinates, so I think it would be good to purify such language as well.

[Anchor]
I see. The Presidential Security Service said it would take security measures in accordance with due process. The Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit, a situation where they say they will execute a warrant as early as today At this time, supporters are protesting in front of the Hannam-dong residence. Some supporters have occupied the road. The police have ordered the dissolution, but they are not responding to the dissolution order. As early as today, the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit could execute the warrant, but supporters of President Yoon holding the Taegeukgi currently occupy the road. There is also a news report that more police personnel are expected to be mobilized to the scene as there is a concern of conflict when executing a warrant. Vice Chairman Yoon Ki-chan expected the execution of the warrant as early as today and tomorrow. If the execution of the warrant begins, is there a possibility of conflict with the security service? How do you see it?

[Yoon Ki-chan]
There could be a number of cases for me. Personally, I don't think the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit will carry out such a will to execute the execution. Because the expression of right and wrong varies depending on each point of view, but the legal issue of the warrant is now raised and there is controversy over the application of various laws, so the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit will try to execute the warrant. But there are no troops at the airlift.
As you said earlier, the rest of the police should support you, but there will be a limit to the support of the police because there are also various legal problems in the support of the police. If so, from the perspective of the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit, I think that if it is impossible to execute it without going to a conflict such as bloodshed, measures will continue as soon as possible.
