As the execution of the first arrest warrant for Yoon Suk Yeol's president has failed, the ruling and opposition parties are raising the level of pressure on the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit amid different calculations.

The People's Power repeatedly pointed out the issue of the investigative power of the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit, and the Democratic Party urged President Yoon to be arrested as soon as possible.

Director of Airborne Oh Dong-woon said he was sorry for not executing the arrest warrant properly, which is a report by reporter Park Ki-wan.

The National Assembly's Legislation and Judiciary Committee, which was attended by Oh Dong-woon, the head of the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit, was followed by the blame for the failure to execute the arrest warrant for President Yoon.

When the opposition party criticized him for stepping down because it was afraid of pressure from the security service without proper preparation, Minister Oh apologized to the public, saying he felt responsible.

[Jeong Chung-rae / Chairman of the Legislative and Judiciary Committee of the National Assembly (Democratic Party of Korea): I didn't know that the security service would come out like that, didn't you really know? You should have prepared, prepared, planned, and thoroughly entered....]

[O Dong-woon / Senior Civil Servant Crime Investigation Director: I am very sad and sorry to the public that the arrest warrant was not properly executed and the rule of law was undermined]

On the other hand, the People's Power pointed out the past cases in which the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit was investigated and acquitted, and undermined the investigation authority as well as the competence of the investigation.

[Kwak Kyu-taek / National People's Power: You've described the alleged accusation as the biggest achievement of the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit, right? But he was acquitted at the second trial. Because he keeps thinking about such achievements, he keeps trying to investigate the president's rebellion, which has no investigative power.]

The leaders of the ruling and opposition parties also targeted the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit.

The purpose of each party was very different, but the ruling party repeatedly questioned the investigative power of the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit and demanded that the police transfer the case, saying the arrest warrant was also illegal.

[Kwon Seong-dong / People's Power Floor Leader: Does it make sense to lead the execution with such a fake warrant? What's the difference between buying things with counterfeit bills?]

The Democratic Party of Korea has pushed for the rapid arrest of President Yoon through the execution of a second warrant to resolve economic uncertainty as soon as possible.

[Park Chan-dae / Minjoo Party floor leader: Make full preparations with the police and make sure to arrest the Yoon Suk Yeol of the Insurrection Monster. Anyone who interferes with law enforcement should be immediately arrested as a red-handed offender.]

{President Yoon's arrest is considered the biggest watershed that will determine the direction of the political situation before the Constitutional Court concludes its impeachment trial.

In particular, as the ruling party that produced President Yoon and the Democratic Party that led to the creation of the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit, the confrontation between the ruling and opposition parties over the arrest warrant is intensifying.
