The ruling and opposition parties continued to denounce the disturbance caused by strong supporters who protested the arrest of President Yoon Suk Yeol at the Seoul Western District Court.
However, the Democratic Party of Korea pointed out that President Yoon and the ruling party are largely responsible, while the police and opposition parties are not responsible for the cause of the incident.
I'm connecting you with a reporter from the National Assembly. Reporter Park Kiwan!
Please tell us in detail the ruling and opposition parties' positions at the party's meeting this morning about the unprecedented attack on the Western District Court.
[Reporter]
Yes, the ruling and opposition parties shared one voice over the attack on the Seoul Western District Court that violence cannot be justified.
However, there was a sharp disagreement between the cause and the subsequent measures.
First of all, Kwon Young-se, chairman of the emergency committee, said in a morning meeting of the emergency committee that he is well aware of why the people are angry, but pointed out that using violent methods weakens legitimacy and only adds to social chaos.
At the same time, he appealed for support, asking for help as the people's power will take the lead in asking for issues.
However, I questioned the fairness of police response, so let's listen to it firsthand.
[Kwon Young-se / People's Power Emergency Committee Chairman: They ordered that even citizens who were caught outside without entering the court never be released. If it were a protester of the Korean Confederation of Trade Unions, wouldn't it have been released in a long time?]
An official of People's Power asked back, "The Democratic Party has nothing to reflect on," in a phone call with YTN.
It is pointed out that encouraging the court and the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit to investigate and arrest President Yoon as soon as possible was the beginning of the incident.
At the same time, he repeatedly questioned the fairness of the investigation, mentioning the arrest of former lawmaker Cho Kuk and representative Lee Jae-myung.

What position did the Democratic Party take?
[Reporter]
The Democratic Party also continued its offensive against the ruling party, criticizing the Western District Court's disturbance.
Park Chan-dae, the floor leader of the party, urged all the people behind the incident and the agitators to root out the situation, and said that the power of the people continues to deny the judiciary's judgment and drive it illegal.
At the same time, he proposed to deal with a resolution condemning the riot together.
[Park Chan-dae / Minjoo Party floor leader: Our National Assembly should restore the rule of law by condemning the riot. I urge the people's power to actively cooperate in the adoption of a bill to condemn the riot.]
{Park}The floor leader also proposed to Acting President Choi Sang-mok an interview to deal with the situation and normalize state affairs.Regarding Rep. Yoon Sang-hyun, who has been at the center of controversy by saying, 'Those who crossed the ∀
will soon be disbarred,' he said he would submit a proposal to the National Assembly to expel his parliamentary seat by the end of the day.
At the same time, he pressured President Yoon to be expelled from the party immediately if the people's power is not advocating riots.Regarding the arrest of President
Yoon, President Lee Jae-myung refuted the allegation of "dismissal", which is mentioned as being discarded, and President Yoon refuted that he could not be compared, saying that his sentencing was a suspect of "crime of rebellion", which is the death penalty.
Separately, the ruling party requested that Acting President Choi Sang-mok exercise his right to request reconsideration in the "third party recommendation" independent counsel law passed last week.
The
Democratic Party demanded that the acting president Choi accept the special prosecutor law and that the request for a permanent special prosecutor recommendation should also be completed.

A standing committee was also held today in connection with the situation, right?
[Reporter]
Yes, today, the National Assembly Legislation and Judiciary Committee, which is in charge of the prosecution, the court, and the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit, and the National Assembly Administration and Security Committee, which is in charge of the police, are conducting pending questions.
The Legislation and Judiciary Committee has been in progress since 10 a.m. and from 2 a.m. just now.
The ruling and opposition parties plan to check the damage caused by the disturbance and see if there were any problems with dealing with the controversial police.
In the Judiciary Committee, which has been going on since the morning, Chun Dae-yup, the head of the court administration, reported the contents of the Supreme Court's meeting and voiced unusually strong criticism.
Minister Cheon said that if extreme acts that ignore the rule of law become commonplace, Korea cannot exist, and urged all constitutional workers to send a message that violence cannot succeed.
The ruling and opposition parties argued.
When the ruling party criticized why the court and the police did not foresee this situation and why they did not prepare,
In the
Democratic Party, Chun Doo-hwan did not enter the court either, but lawmaker Yoon Sang-hyun responded by saying that he instigated the incident.
