MADRID 9 Ene. (EUROPA PRESS) –
The legal team of the president, Yoon Suk Yeol, dismissed by the South Korean Parliament after declaring martial law at the beginning of December, assured this Thursday that it will accept the decision of the Constitutional Court, which has to rule on the ratification of the measure. parliamentary
Yoon Gap Geun, a member of the ousted president’s legal team, has indicated that if the Constitutional Court makes the decision to support the decision of the National Assembly, “there will be no choice but to accept it.” Thus, he recalled that they have already filed an appeal with Justice to block a new arrest warrant against Yoon, considering that his arrest “goes against the law”, which would be being applied “erroneously”.
“Both the judge who issued the first order and the one who issued the second have misinterpreted the theory and have misapplied the law. There is a high possibility that an illegality will be incurred because the regulations are being interpreted following an analogy,” he defended. .
In this sense, he stressed that Yoon “enjoys good health”, although he is “concerned that the final objective of declaring martial law will not be achieved”, according to information collected by the South Korean news agency Yonhap.
“I hope that Yoon finally manages to resolve all this so that he has the historic opportunity to promote the development of South Korea,” he said despite the controversy that arose as a result of the failed attempts by the Anti-Corruption office to obtain his arrest for interrogation in the framework of investigations for incitement to insurrection and abuse of power.
The lawyer has pointed out that “in the face of martial law, the legislative dictatorship, the impeachment process and the various crises perceived by the public, the country has become more honest.” “If we overcome this process, the president’s martial law will have been successful,” he said.
The South Korean Justice Department extended the deadline to detain Yoon on Tuesday, several days after security personnel at the presidential residence prevented agents from entering the premises, preventing his arrest. If he is finally detained, Yoon will only be able to spend 48 hours in custody for interrogation before being released again, according to legislation.
These arrest warrants respond to Yoon’s refusal to comply with the summons issued against him to appear for what happened on December 3 after declaring martial law.
