On the 6th, when Special Prosecutor Jeong Eun-seok's team requested an arrest warrant for former President Yoon Suk-yeol, the candidates for the leadership of the Democratic Party of Korea uniformly demanded 'the issuance of a warrant by the court.'
Representative Jeong Cheong-rae stated on his Facebook that 'if one has committed a crime, they must pay the price,' adding, 'a person suspected of insurrection should not be allowed to roam freely. Yoon Suk-yeol should go to prison immediately.'
In another post, he remarked, 'Yoon Suk-yeol should be imprisoned, and Kim Keon-hee should also be subjected to an arrest investigation and then prison.' He further stated, 'If today's crimes are not punished, it encourages tomorrow's crimes. We must establish judicial justice through the arrest of Yoon Suk-yeol and Kim Keon-hee.'
On the same day, Representative Park Chan-dae asserted through a Facebook post, 'The insurrection special prosecutor has requested an arrest warrant for Yoon Suk-yeol. This is justice being served,' and insisted that 'Yoon Suk-yeol should never come out of prison again.'
He added, 'The cancellation of the arrest itself was a mistake,' saying, 'If insurrection suspects can casually stroll the streets in shorts, how can we discuss the end of insurrection? The other two special prosecutors must urgently rectify the wrongs that Yoon Suk-yeol's prosecution has covered up and expedite the investigations into Kim Keon-hee and Chae Hae-byeong.'
The Democratic Party of Korea also urged, 'The court must swiftly issue an arrest warrant for insurrection leader Yoon Suk-yeol.' Park Sang-hyuk, spokesperson for the Democratic Party of Korea, held a press conference at the National Assembly's communication hall in Yeouido, Seoul, stating, 'Finally, the arrest warrant for insurrection leader Yoon Suk-yeol has been re-requested,' and that 'there are ample grounds for arrest just from the allegations revealed so far, from the post-facto drafting of the martial law declaration to the suspicion of foreign exchange inducement.'
Earlier, at around 5:20 p.m., the insurrection special investigation team, led by Special Prosecutor Jeong Eun-seok, requested an arrest warrant for former President Yoon Suk-yeol at the Seoul Central District Court. The special prosecutor indicated that charges of abuse of power, obstruction of the exercise of rights, and obstruction of special public execution were applied to the warrant, but stated that further investigation was needed regarding the foreign exchange allegations.
