As the re-execution of the arrest warrant for Yoon Suk Yeol's president is on the countdown, the confrontation between the ruling and opposition parties is also sharpening.

The Democratic Party of Korea pressed the Joint Investigation Headquarters to execute the warrant with the determination to retire, and the power of the people set the day, saying that the Joint Chiefs of Staff is actually showing internal communication with the opposition party.

I'm connecting with the National Assembly reporter, reporter Lim Sung-jae!

Ahead of the second round of warrant execution, please tell us more about the Democratic Party's position!

[Reporter]
The Democratic Party of Korea, which calls for the early execution of an arrest warrant for President Yoon, called on the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit and the police to come forward with the determination to retire from the war.

Recalling that President Yoon's first arrest attempt failed on the 3rd, he pointed out that the same should not be seen this time.

Park Chan-dae, the floor leader of the party, stressed at a meeting of the top committee that the joint investigation headquarters should mobilize all available personnel and equipment to pull President Yoon out of his official residence.

Let's hear the related remarks.

[Park Chan-dae / Minjoo Party floor leader: We need to get Yoon Suk Yeol out of the official residence. We need to straighten up the authority of the collapsed public power and firmly establish the principle that anyone who commits a crime will be punished.]

He warned the presidential security service to cooperate with the execution of the warrant, saying that any acts that interfere with law enforcement will be punished and not to follow the unjust instructions of his superiors.

It is argued that the only way to achieve national normalization is to arrest a rebellion leader.

Party officials said in a phone call with YTN that the only way out for the current political situation is to arrest President Yoon, adding to this logic.

Representative Lee Jae-myung called for Choi Sang-mok's cooperation in executing the warrant, saying that the acting president, who can be said to be the first responsibility to maintain the national legal order, should not tell law enforcement that he does not know.

National Assembly Speaker Woo Won-sik, a former Democratic Party member, urged President Yoon not to confuse the country anymore and to take responsible legal proceedings.

What is the reaction of the people's power?

[Reporter]
The People's Power criticized the Democratic Party and the National Investigation Headquarters of the National Police Agency, saying that it was revealed that the Democratic Party and the investigative agency had actually engaged in illegal communication.He took issue with Lee Sang-sik of the Democratic Party of Korea, who posted an SNS post saying that

acted as a messenger between the party and the National Assembly.

Floor leader Kwon Sung-dong pointed out at a general meeting of lawmakers that the Democratic Party of Korea is actually leading the national investigation and that if it planned to execute the arrest warrant, it would be a serious violation of the constitution.

Let's hear the related remarks.

[Kwon Seong-dong / People's Power Floor Leader: Doesn't it mean that the Democratic Party is openly leading the national investigation? Is Rep. Lee Sang-sik a contact to the police to order 'Yeo-do Emperor' Lee Jae-myung's instructions?]

Senior spokesman Shin Dong-wook also issued a comment, saying that the National Assembly's appearance is the same as that of the Democratic Party's investigation headquarters, and demanded that the attempt to arrest President Yoon was actually made with the Democratic Party's instructions and guidelines.

Although not at the party leadership level, as the execution of the warrant is counting down again, the movement of ruling party lawmakers toward the presidential residence is also drawing attention.

First of all, it is understood that lawmaker Yoon Sang-hyun has visited the front of his official residence again today, and the party is also wary of such a scene.

Kim Jae-seop, vice president of the organization, who is considered to be the younger faction, stressed in an interview with CBS radio that the party should not give the impression of defending the president or jumping into the square.

In response, some analysts say that President Yoon is showing a division at the center, and a key party official explained in a call with YTN that there are various positions rather than differentiation.

A first-term lawmaker from the Yeongnam region, who visited the residence earlier, drew a line on the analysis of the party division, saying that there is only a consensus in the party that "Ban" and "Jeol" should never be represented by Lee Jae-myung.

The independent counsel for civil war and the independent counsel for Mrs. Kim, which were re-voted at the National Assembly, were rejected, so please summarize the results.

[Reporter]
At the plenary session, the National Assembly re-voted eight bills, including the Bilateral Special Prosecution Act, the Agriculture Act, and the National Assembly Act.These bills were exercised under the acting system after the impeachment of President

Yoon. As a result of the vote attended by all 300 lawmakers, the Independent Counsel for Insurrection Act was 198 votes in favor and the Special Counsel for First Lady Kim was 196 votes in favor, falling short of the requirement for a re-decision of 200 people in favor, and all six other bills were rejected.

Assuming the approval of all 192 members of the pan-opposition party, it is analyzed that at least six people voted in favor of the independent counsel law for the rebellion and at least four in the ruling party for the independent counsel law for Kim.

First of all, the power of the people who agreed to maintain the "no-decision" party theory at the general meeting of the lawmakers before the plenary session succeeded in blocking the special prosecution law according to this result.

However, as there are voices within the ruling party that the independent counsel for the rebellion should consider revising the alternative except for the toxic clause, the government plans to continue related discussions at the general meeting of lawmakers.

In the case of the Democratic Party of Korea, opposition to the independent counsel law is no different from rebellion, and it is also worth noting whether it will first propose amendments such as a third-party independent counsel to talk with the ruling party.

Some say that there are only a few "revision opinions" within the ruling party, so it will be difficult for the two parties to reach satisfactory results.

So far, I'm YTN Lim Sungjae in the National Assembly.
