The People's Power criticized the high-ranking government official's criminal investigation agency's request for an arrest warrant for a current president who has no fear of destroying evidence or fleeing from Yoon Suk Yeol.

Kwon Young-se, chairman of the emergency committee, said on social media that it is more urgent to guarantee defense rights as the principle is to investigate without detention and the impeachment trial is underway in addition to criminal cases. Nevertheless, issuing a warrant is not fair and must be rejected.

Floor leader Kwon Sung-dong also told reporters at the National Assembly that the presumption of innocence and the principle of investigation without detention should be respected, saying that the evidence is not a reason for arrest under the Criminal Procedure Act because the investigation into those involved in the martial law has already been secured.

Senior spokesman Shin Dong-wook held a press conference and claimed that the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit filed an arrest warrant with the Seoul Western District Court, not the jurisdiction court, and that it is a trick that cannot be done without believing in the back of the Democratic Party.
