People's Power "Yoon, the decision to attend the court despite difficult conditions"
" No fear of destroying or fleeing evidence...Investigation should be conducted without detention "
" The same standard as when dismissing the arrest warrant for Lee Jae-myung should be applied."
The People's Power urged the court to dismiss the arrest warrant, saying that President Yoon Suk Yeol showed his willingness to go directly to the hearing of the arrest warrant even under difficult conditions.
The Democratic Party argued that arrest is inevitable, saying that releasing the suspect at the head of the rebellion will make the country more unstable.
This time, I'm connecting to the National Assembly. Reporter Na Hye-in, the ruling and opposition parties are also watching the review of President Yoon's warrant today, right?

Yes, first, the People's Power emphasizes that there is no fear of destroying evidence and fleeing, which is the reason for the arrest of President Yoon, and argues that an investigation without detention is necessary.
In a phone call with YTN, spokesperson Park Min-young praised President Yoon, who was admitted to the detention center, for showing his willingness to go to the court and express his opinion even in difficult conditions.
The court insisted that the same standard should be applied to President Yoon, just as the arrest warrant for Lee Jae-myung of the Democratic Party was rejected in the past, saying that the incumbent president has no fear of running away and there is no evidence to remove it.
Representative Yoon Sang-hyun also said that President Yoon was initially thinking of going to the court or the Constitutional Court to plead if conditions allowed him.
On the other hand, the opposition party responded cynically, asking if it is necessary to evaluate the serious crime suspects to follow the procedures set by the law.
A key Democratic Party official said in a phone call with YTN that President Yoon's decision to appear was intended to show his supporters, saying it was unfair for the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit to request a warrant from the Seoul Western District Court.
The Democratic Party believes that the arrest of President Yoon is inevitable as the charges he receives are so heavy.
Spokesman Kim Sung-hoe said that President Yoon is refusing to investigate the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit, rather than reflecting on the alleged rebellion, and continues to spread the delusion of fraudulent elections, claiming that the country will be more confused if he is released.

The National Assembly passed the National Assembly's plenary session late last night, but will the investigation of President Yoon be transferred to the independent counsel?
[Reporter]
We still have to wait and see.
The Democratic Party of Korea passed an amendment yesterday to remove foreign exchange charges and reduce the size and investigation period of the independent counsel team, but the ruling party immediately asked Acting President Choi Sang-mok to exercise his right to demand reconsideration, saying the toxic clause remains.
If acting Choi accepts this and sends the bill back to the National Assembly, and if there are no more than eight votes from the ruling party in the re-vote, the bill will be discarded again.
People's Power is protesting that the Democratic Party of Korea has accepted the ruling party's demand to narrow the scope of the investigation, but it has left a separate room for investigation by leaving "criminal charges recognized during the investigation" in the bill.
On the other hand, the Democratic Party of Korea says that the ruling party is trying to create a scarecrow special investigation law to protect President Yoon, and that all the suspicions raised should be identified in order to quickly end the "civil war."
Some analysts say that the two major parties' unyielding confrontation over the independent counsel takes into account the fact that if President Yoon's impeachment is cited, it will affect the early presidential election phase.
So far, I've delivered it to you by the National Assembly.
