The People's Power Emergency Response Committee held an emergency meeting to discuss measures when President Yoon was arrested early this morning.
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 raid on the 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 power of the people was once again questioned by the investigation process of the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit in a short position at the party level after President Yoon's arrest.
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.

In addition, the Democratic Party of Korea's representative Lee Jae-myung expressed his position himself, but the focus was on the court rampage?

In a press conference after a closed Supreme Council meeting, Lee Jae-myung pointed out that the court rampage is an unacceptable act.
He strongly criticized it as an act of destroying the judicial system for maintaining the order of the national community and as an act of destroying the basic order of the democratic republic.
He emphasized that he will overcome the current confusion with the power of the great people and move forward to a hopeful world.
Senior spokesman Cho Seung-rae told reporters that there is a need to strengthen security and security for other agencies such as the Constitutional Court and the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit over the court rampage.
Earlier, the Democratic Party of Korea made a position that it is natural to issue an arrest warrant for President Yoon,
In a written briefing, spokesman Kim Sung-hoe said, "The court's judgment was common sense to the perpetrator of the rebellion crime, which was witnessed in real time by the whole nation."
He then mentioned that the issuance of 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.
The Democratic Party also asked Acting President Choi Sang-mok to re-approve the Insurrection Special Counsel Act as soon as possible.
At the general meeting of emergency lawmakers scheduled for 2 p.m. on
, discussions are expected to take place with the independent counsel on the rebellion attack.
