Democratic Party: "Yoon's Detention, a Foundation to Restore Collapsed Constitutional Order... Must Show Judicial Justice"

The Democratic Party of Korea stated on the 19th that the issuance of an arrest warrant for President Yoon Seok-yeol is "a cornerstone for restoring the collapsed constitutional order."

Kim Seong-hoe, spokesperson for the Democratic Party, said regarding the issuance of the arrest warrant for President Yoon, "It is a common-sense court decision against the ringleader of the treason crime witnessed by the entire nation in real time," adding, "Thanks to the righteous anger of the people who have gathered to judge the treasonous forces and restore the Republic of Korea to normal."

He also pointed out the conflict situation following the declaration of martial law. Spokesperson Kim said, "The past month and a half was one of the darkest moments recorded in the constitutional history of the Republic of Korea," and criticized, "The treason leader Yoon Seok-yeol refused to comply with the execution of a legitimate arrest warrant, inciting clashes with public authority, while anachronistic slanders spread by the treasonous forces, such as the false election claims, caused division in public opinion."

Spokesperson Kim stated, "The issuance of this arrest warrant will serve as a cornerstone to restore the collapsed constitutional order."

He said, "We urge the Corruption Investigation Office for High-ranking Officials (CIO) to conduct a strict and thorough investigation to ensure appropriate punishment for the treason leader who refuses to cooperate with the investigation. It is now the CIO's turn to respond to the voice of the people yearning for the restoration of the constitutional order."

Spokesperson Kim added, "No matter how almighty a ruler may be, if they commit a crime, I hope this shows that judicial justice is alive by punishing them strictly according to law and principles."
