With the deadline for the arrest warrant of the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit for President Yoon Suk Yeol just a day away, political repercussions are also continuing.

The Democratic Party of Korea has decided to hold a general meeting of lawmakers to discuss countermeasures today, a holiday following yesterday (4th), and the people's power is urging them to refrain from executing warrants.

I'm connecting with the reporter. Reporter Jeong Inyong!

Please tell us the moves of the ruling and opposition parties.

[Reporter]
Yes, the Democratic Party of Korea is demanding that the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit re-enforce the arrest warrant for President Yoon as soon as possible.

First of all, the Democratic Party decided to hold an emergency general meeting today (5th), following yesterday (4th) when lawmakers criticized the failure of the warrant.

As the warrant deadline is just a day away, we will gather opinions from lawmakers as much as possible to pressure the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit.

Yesterday, the National Assembly even said that the security office that blocked law enforcement should be dismantled, and there are expected to be related comments.

The Cho Kuk Innovation Party plans to submit a petition to the Ministry of Justice demanding a request for an unconstitutional dissolution trial, saying that the power of the people is defending President Yoon.

On the other hand, the power of the people is that the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit and the court are exercising their authority.

It is unfair to arbitrarily state in the warrant that the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit does not have the right to investigate allegations of rebellion, and that the court makes an exception to the application of the Criminal Procedure Act, which states that "the agency needs permission to search for secret places for military ideology and public affairs."

As the execution is pursued amid such controversy, conflicts with citizens and security agencies are inevitable, pointing out that the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit should refrain from executing arrests for safety.

In addition, they are confronting that it is necessary to watch it as they have filed an injunction for suspension of validity and an objection to the arrest warrant issued.

The People's Power dismissed the issue as inappropriate, saying that it is a matter for the security chief to decide even after the Airborne Division sent an official letter to Acting President Choi Sang-mok demanding that he direct the security agency to cooperate.

Regarding the schedule of the National Assembly, the opposition party is said to be pushing for a re-vote of the so-called "Both Special Prosecutors Act," including the independent counsel for civil war and the independent counsel for Kim Gun-hee, but the ruling party opposes it, right?

[Reporter]
Yes, the opposition party is in a position to quickly re-vote the so-called Bilateral Special Prosecution Act this week.

As early as the day after tomorrow (7th), we are asking the National Assembly Speaker's Office to cooperate to present the re-vote agenda for the twin special prosecution law to the plenary session.

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, it is necessary to speed up the investigation by launching a special prosecutor quickly.

On the other hand, both the independent counsel and the independent counsel Kim are confronting each other, calling it unconstitutional and illegal.

This is due to concerns that the camp could collapse and give up the regime, as an all-round investigation into ruling party figures is expected if the special prosecution is passed.

However, some people argue that rather than sticking to the rejection of the double special prosecution law, a revision that adjusted the method of recommending special prosecutors and the scope of the investigation should be presented.

If the size of the ruling party's departure vote is not small in the re-vote, the possibility of the ruling and opposition parties consulting on the actual amendment cannot be ruled out.

This is YTN Jeong Yong-yong in the National Assembly so far.
