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!

[Reporter]
Yes, it's the National Assembly.

Please tell us about the situation of the ruling and opposition parties today in 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, the emergency committee chairman, 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, the equity of police response has been questioned, so let's listen to it firsthand.

[Interview: Kwon Young-se / Chairman of the People's Power Emergency Response Committee]
It is said that he ordered that even citizens who were caught outside without entering the
court should 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 from People's Power said in a phone call with YTN, "The Democratic Party has nothing to reflect on," and pointed out that encouraging early investigation and arrest of the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit was the beginning of the incident.

What position did the Democratic Party take?

[Reporter]
The Democratic Party defined the attack on the Western District Court as a "riot" and continued its offensive against the ruling party.

Park Chan-dae, the floor leader, urged all the forces behind the incident and the demagoguery to root out.

The power of the people also continued to deny the judiciary's judgment and drive it illegal, inciting the supporters.

At the same time, we have proposed that we deal with a resolution condemning the riots together, so let's continue to hear.


[Park Chan-dae / Floor Leader of the Democratic Party of Korea]: Our National Assembly should restore the rule of law by condemning the riot. I urge the people's power to actively cooperate in adopting a resolution to condemn the January 19 riot.]

{Park}The floor leader also proposed to Acting President Choi Sang-mok an interview to deal with the situation and normalize state affairs.

The Democratic Party of Korea also said that Yoon Sang-hyun, who caused controversy by saying, "Those who crossed the wall will soon be disbarred," actually incited a court raid, adding that he will submit a proposal to the National Assembly to expel his parliamentary seat by the end of the day.

There was also a battle over the independent counsel law.

The ruling party asked Acting President Choi Sang-mok to 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, what is going on?

[Reporter]
Yes, 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 Public Administration and Security Committee, which is in charge of the police, are conducting current questions.

In particular, we are checking the extent of the damage and examining whether there were any problems with dealing with the controversial police.

Let's point out that the ruling party has aggravated the situation with the wrong handling of the court and the police,
In the
Democratic Party, Chun Doo-hwan also said he did not enter the court, calling for an investigation into the agitators with lawmaker Yoon Sang-hyun.

Let's listen to the next song.

"Look at this. They're opening the driveway. Shouldn't the police stop you until the end? You put up the shutter and made way for me.The mob "

" broke down the furniture and entered the office. Blame the riot, blame the police?"The tension between the ruling and opposition parties over the arrest of President

yoon and the security of the detention center continued.

I'm Park Ki-wan of YTN in the National Assembly.
