The people's strength in facing the arrest of the first sitting president in the constitutional history was also tightening the offensive against Representative Lee Jae-myung, saying that the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit and the police are the supporters of the Democratic Party.
The Democratic Party responded by saying that the rule of law has been realized due to the arrest of the president, and that an investigation that does not leave a single suspicion is needed in the future.
I'm connecting with the National Assembly reporter, reporter Son Hyo-jung!
First, please tell us about the power situation of the people.
[Reporter]
The people's power takes issue with the issuance and execution of arrest warrants and consistently defines the investigation of President Yoon as illegal.
In a morning meeting, Kwon Young-se, chairman of the emergency committee, accused the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit and the police of ignoring the investigation process and effectively causing a judicial coup.
The level of attacks on judicial risks, including the trial of the Public Official Election Act by Lee Jae-myung, the leader of the Democratic Party, has also increased.
[Kwon Young-se / People's Power Emergency Management Committee Chairman: Judicial proceedings against the president are proceeding on a KTX-class basis, and some people are sitting on the slow train of judicial proceedings. Representative Lee Jae-myung's strategy of delaying the trial should no longer be tolerated.]
{President Yoon's forced investigation has become a reality, and the ruling party seems to have launched a large-scale offensive at the same time, claiming the unfairness of the investigation.
However, there are also voices of dissatisfaction with the party line, which does not clearly draw a line against President Yoon, centered on the non-margin system.
There are concerns that the entire party could be seen as defending martial law and blindly defending the president.
In a phone call with YTN, a first-term lawmaker said the "illegal investigation debate of the Airborne Office" is difficult to persuade the public, and stressed that the party should work on the basin offensive and renovation, leaving the response to the investigation up to the president.

Then, what is the atmosphere of the opposition party that has been calling for the arrest of the president?
[Reporter]
The Democratic Party of Korea evaluated that the arrest of President Yoon would signal the restoration of constitutional order and democracy and the realization of the rule of law.
He also emphasized that since he has secured the president's whereabouts, suspicions surrounding the emergency martial law situation should be investigated through a thorough investigation.
[Park Chan-dae / Floor Leader of the Democratic Party of Korea: We need to immediately arrest the Yoon Suk Yeol and thoroughly investigate the whole December 3 civil war. We will do our best to wipe out the remnants of the civil war, stabilize people's livelihoods, and normalize the country.]
However, there is also a sense within the Democratic Party of Korea that it should emphasize its role as an alternative party rather than a direct criticism of the president.
At the morning meeting, policy committee chairman Jin Sung-joon urged the ruling party to cooperate in discussing the extra budget, saying that the government should stabilize the national turmoil that triggered the civil war and focus on reviving people's livelihoods and the economy.
Lee Jae-myung's key official also said he is sorry for the tragedy of the arrest of the incumbent president, and that he will focus his capabilities on the economy, diplomacy and security at a time when people's livelihoods are difficult.
Unlike the ruling party's approval rating, which has recently recovered to pre-martial law levels, the Democratic Party's approval rating is still considered to be conscious of the stagnant situation.
A party official analyzed that conservatives gathered in the face of the president's arrest, which some supporters said would protect the president, but reflected the response of "anti-Lee Jae-myung, anti-Democratic" forces.

In this situation, the Democratic Party of Korea is vowing to deal with the Insurrection Special Prosecutor Act, and has the position of the people's power been settled?
[Reporter]
After nearly two hours of a general meeting of lawmakers, the People's Power decided to propose its own "Emergency Special Counsel Act" under the name of all 108 members.
Floor leader Kwon Sung-dong met with reporters after the parliamentary assembly and said he would not receive a bill by the opposition special prosecutor, which is full of toxic provisions, including foreign exchange crimes, and would propose the party with only the necessary parts.
At the general meeting of lawmakers, there were many negative voices against the special prosecution, saying that it was not effective when the president was arrested, but it is interpreted as a result of the reality that the Democratic Party's bill should be prevented from passing.
The People's Power expects the timing of the proposed independent counsel bill to be tomorrow, but it is unclear whether the Democratic Party will negotiate to pass the independent counsel bill within this week.
The Democratic Party believes that the public's proposal to come up with its own proposal is aimed at delaying the passage of the special prosecution law.
Although the ruling party has said that there is a possibility of discussion as long as it proposes the bill, there are observations that negotiations on the independent counsel law will be difficult as they doubt the sincerity of the independent counsel's handling.
So far, I'm Son Hyo-jung of YTN in the National Assembly.
