President Yoon appears at the Constitutional Court...Ruling party 'Careful' and opposition party 'concerned'

Politicians also watched the impeachment trial of the Constitutional Court, which was attended by President Yoon Suk Yeol himself.

The people's power was cautious, refraining from official responses, and the Democratic Party of Korea was concerned about possible supporters' agitation.

I'm connecting with the National Assembly reporter, reporter Lim Sung-jae!

Please tell us the atmosphere of the ruling and opposition parties in detail!

The People's Power did not officially respond to President Yoon's attendance at the Constitutional Court, but there was an atmosphere in the party that watched President Yoon in tension, which would be reflected in the media.

A key party official told YTN that the attendance was viewed as a defense of President Yoon's personal rights, but he watched the impact on the inside and outside the party.

Kim Yong-tae, a member of the emergency committee, said in a radio interview that he seemed to express his opinion confidently, as he said he would fulfill his legal and political responsibilities.

At the party level, he focused on the attempt by the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit to recruit President Yoon and criticism targeting the Constitutional Court.

Floor leader Kwon Sung-dong argued in the morning meeting that if the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit is forced to seek arrest while President Yoon attends the Constitutional Court, it will interfere with the impeachment trial.

In addition, Moon Hyung-bae, the acting chief justice of the Constitutional Court, and Lee Jae-myung, the representative of the Democratic Party of Korea, are said to be close enough to be "friendly," and asked if Moon would be qualified to handle the impeachment trial.

The National Assembly's impeachment investigation team, led by the Democratic Party, took issue with President Yoon's mention of "unfair elections" in his defense.

Rep. Lee Chun-seok of the Democratic Party told reporters at the Constitutional Court that President Yoon mainly talks about rigged elections,

He criticized that he was trying to lead the act of incitement against those who followed him by the attendance of the Constitutional Court.

Earlier, the Democratic Party of Korea warned that President Yoon does not want to provoke mobs or supporters before his attendance at the Constitutional Court.

In particular, Cho Seung-rae, a senior spokesman, said in a radio interview that President Yoon seems to be trying to once again show his face to his supporters with this attendance.

In the process, he claimed that there seems to be a "time-buying" dimension to avoid being investigated by the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit.

The impeachment trial and investigation are relatively speeding up, but there is still a gap between the ruling and opposition parties in the Insurrection Special Counsel Act, right?

[Reporter]
First of all, at the morning Cabinet meeting, the "insurrection independent counsel bill," which passed the plenary session of the National Assembly led by the opposition party on the 17th, was not proposed.

The people's power is a position that we should calmly consider what the special prosecutor means at this point.

The logic is that if the prosecution hands over President Yoon to trial after the investigation of the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit, the special prosecutor will in fact have no choice but to review the existing investigation or re-investigate the allegations of the surrounding areas.

A key floor official said he has already demanded acting President Choi Sang-mok exercise his right to demand reconsideration, adding that it is now up to the government.

On the other hand, the Democratic Party of Korea is pressuring Acting President Choi to immediately promulgate the Insurrection Special Counsel Act.

In a radio interview, Park Sung-joon, the deputy floor leader, stressed that the opposition party has largely accepted the government's request for reconsideration, and analyzed that the probability of acting Choi making a request for reconsideration is "50 to 50."

However, internally, as President Yoon is arrested, it is also read that prosecution prosecution, which is expected to be early next month, should be considered.

An official said in a phone call with YTN, "The special prosecutor also has an expiration date," and expressed concern that it could be virtually useless if President Yoon is put on trial without the special prosecutor law being promulgated.

So far, I'm YTN Lim Sungjae in the National Assembly.
