[Anchor]
Political reactions are mixed with the arrest of the first sitting president in constitutional history.

The People's Power Emergency Committee expressed regret over the court's judgment in an emergency meeting, comparing it to opposition politicians, and the Democratic Party strongly criticized the court raid by President Yoon's supporters, saying it was a common-sense judgment.

I'm connecting with a reporter, reporter Jeong In-yong.

How do the people accept the issuance of arrest warrants after claiming the unfairness of the investigation into the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit against the President?

[Reporter]
The People's Power Emergency Response Committee held an emergency meeting a little while ago regarding the arrest of President Yoon.

Kwon Young-se, chairman of the emergency committee, expressed regret over the court's judgment, saying, "All suspects should be investigated without detention, but the principle has collapsed."

In particular, President Yoon emphasized the urgent need to guarantee defense rights as he is also being impeached by the Constitutional Court apart from the investigation.

In addition, the court rejected the warrant, saying Lee Jae-myung, the leader of the Democratic Party of Korea, is the leader of the main opposition party, and Cho Kuk, the former leader of the Cho Kuk Innovation Party, also criticized it as a rubber band standard, saying he did not arrest him in court even after being sentenced to prison in the second trial.

However, regarding the attack on the Western District Court by President Yoon's supporters, he asked for restraint, saying that illegal acts of violence do not help anyone.

Kwon Sung-dong, the floor leader, also appealed to the president's supporters that no matter what, violence should not occur, even though the fairness and credibility of the judiciary have fallen to the ground.

Earlier, the People's Power issued a short statement saying that it was very sorry for the court's judgment at the party level after the arrest of President Yoon Suk Yeol.

It is questionable whether the impact of the arrest of the incumbent president has been fully considered at a time when various controversies such as the existence of the right to investigate the rebellion by the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit and various illegal acts continue.

He then urged the judicial process to proceed fairly and carefully without any controversy or flaws.

The opposition party expressed its position that it is natural to issue an arrest warrant for President Yoon.

Kim Sung-hoe, a spokesman for the Democratic Party of Korea, emphasized in a written briefing that the court's judgment was made on the instigator of the rebellion crime, which the whole nation witnessed in real time.President Yun

refused to execute legitimate arrest warrants, encouraging conflicts with public authorities, and dividing the public opinion by raising the theory of fraudulent elections.and

He stressed that the issuance of arrest warrants will be a cornerstone for correcting the collapsed constitutional order.

The Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit again asked for a strict and thorough investigation to ensure that reasonable punishment is made to the rebellion leader who refuses to investigate.Shortly after President Yoon's arrest,

Yoon said, "There is no precedent for the attack on the Western District Court by supporters," urging the police to enforce the law firmly to prevent further disturbances.

The Democratic Party decided to discuss the situation related to the attack on the Western District Court at a closed Supreme Council meeting and an emergency meeting at 2 p.m.

Cho Seung-rae, a senior spokesman, said in a phone call with YTN that the attack on the Western District Court was nothing short of a martial law army storming the National Assembly and pointed out that it was a very serious issue.

The Democratic Party asked Acting President Choi Sang-mok to quickly re-approve the Insurrection Special Counsel Act,
The
emergency meeting is expected to discuss the direction of future political operations, including the independent counsel.

This is YTN Jeong Yong-yong in the National Assembly so far.
