Following the failure to execute the arrest warrant, the Democratic Party demanded that the Corruption Investigation Office for High-ranking Officials immediately re-execute the warrant.

They criticized President Yoon, repeatedly calling him the mastermind of insurrection, stating that his claims of fulfilling legal and political responsibilities were blatant lies.

The Presidential Security Service, which obstructed the execution, was claimed to be no different from an accomplice to insurrection, and they argued that immediate arrest in the act is necessary.

They also stated that Acting President Choi Sang-mok bears responsibility for not issuing any position or cooperation directives despite the anticipated failure.

[Jo Seoung-lae/Democratic Party Spokesperson: "(Acting President Choi Sang-mok) has remained indifferent to the situation until today. It is irresponsible behavior that neglects his duty to stabilize the political chaos."]

During the party's general meeting, there were continued criticisms of the CIO for giving up on executing the warrant, and it was suggested that police personnel should be increased for re-execution.

The Democratic Party has reported officials from the Presidential Security Service, including Chief Park Jong-jun, to the National Office of Investigation on charges of obstructing special public duties.
