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

The people's power compared to opposition politicians and expressed regret over the court's judgment, and the Democratic Party criticized the attack on the court by President Yoon's supporters, saying it was a common sense judgment.

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

The People's Power leadership held an emergency meeting in the emergency of the president's arrest?

[Reporter]
The People's Power Emergency Response Committee held an emergency meeting at 10 a.m. 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 Democratic Party Chairman Lee Jae-myung is the leader of the main opposition party, and Cho Kuk, former chairman of the Cho Kuk Innovation Party, also criticized the judiciary, saying he did not arrest him in court even after he was sentenced to prison in the second trial.

[Kwon Young-se / People's Power Emergency Committee Chairman: Judicial proceedings should be carried out carefully and fairly and without any controversy or flaws. It shouldn't be a rubber band standard.

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, representative Lee Jae-myung of the Democratic Party of Korea also expressed his position, right?

[Reporter]
In a press conference after a closed-door Supreme Council meeting, Lee Jae-myung pointed out that the court rampage that took place early this morning is an unacceptable act.

It is an act of destroying the judicial system to maintain the order of the national community, and an act of destroying the basic order of the democratic republic.

He also stressed that this confusion will be a painstaking effort for a new start and that it will be overcome with the power of the people.

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 President Yoon, who refuses to investigate, to investigate strictly and thoroughly so that reasonable punishment can be made.

The Democratic Party also asked Acting President Choi Sang-mok to re-approve the independent counsel law against the rebellion as soon as possible.

At the general meeting of emergency lawmakers, which began a little while ago, it is expected to focus on countermeasures against the court attack along with the independent counsel on the rebellion.
