MADRID 10 Ene. (EUROPA PRESS) –
Park Chong Jun, head of the security service of the ousted president of South Korea Yoon Suk Yeol, presented his resignation this Friday shortly before going to testify before the Police in the framework of an investigation against him for obstructing work of the authorities by preventing Yoon’s arrest.
Thus, he has submitted a letter of resignation to the country’s interim president, Choi Sang Mok, who has accepted the resignation and holds the position provisionally pending the Constitutional Court’s ratification of the dismissal of Yoon, who was dismissed by Parliament following the declaration of martial law in early December.
Park had to testify after the security service at the president’s residence prevented agents from the Office for Corruption of Senior Officials (CIO), who had an arrest warrant against Yoon, from entering the property. , accused of incitement to insurrection and abuse of power.
Before entering the police station, Park expressed that “many people must be deeply concerned about the current situation and the possibility that various government agencies are fighting each other.” “There should be no physical confrontations or bloodshed under any circumstances,” he said in relation to Yoon’s possible arrest, according to information collected by the Yonhap news agency.
His words come after the South Korean Justice on Tuesday extended the deadline to arrest the ousted president after several unsuccessful attempts to arrest him at his official residence. The arrest warrants respond to Yoon’s refusal to comply with the summons issued against him to appear for what happened with martial law, an issue that has plunged the country into a serious political crisis.
