Martial Law Outrage: South Koreans protect their Democracy..!?
South Korea. This country, which has never been in the news much, has earned a good name worldwide in terms of technology. This country has given a name to well-known world-class companies like samsung and LG. Such unexpected developments in south korea are constantly happening. Recently, the situation has reached the point where ordinary police have conducted inspections in the office of President Yoon Suk Yeol. Moreover, it is noteworthy that two senior police officers have also been arrested.
What happened? Two days ago, South Korean President Yoon Suk-yeol imposed martial law in the country overnight. Without giving an explanation as to why he had to impose it, he declared martial law at 12.30 am. However, immediately the people of the country, including the opposition parties went on a huge rampage. Immediately after that, an impeachment motion was passed in the parliament that sat at night. President Yoon, who realized that this would create a crisis for the presidency, withdrew his announcement while the parliament was in session at dawn. However, the vote on the impeachment motion was held two days later. However, he narrowly escaped this crisis. However, the opposition parties were furious over the imposition of martial law, and cases were filed against him. This is the first time in South Korean history.
Moreover, the Prime Minister's office has ordered an inspection of the presidential palace. Immediately after that, when the regular police tried to enter his office last night, a scuffle broke out between the presidential palace security personnel and the police. As a result, searches were conducted in the Civil service office in the presidential palace and key documents were seized. Currently, treason cases have been registered against several officials (those who collaborated with him), including President Yoon. On the other hand, several officials close to President Yoon have resigned. Meanwhile, the police have arrested Defense minister Kim Yong-Hyun, who is accused of being the reason for imposing ‘martial law’. As a result, he attempted suicide in his prison cell on tuesday night. However.. he was stopped by the police. The opposition parties, which had vowed to remove President Yonhap from office, have now once again introduced an impeachment motion against him. The main opposition Democratic party has once again introduced an impeachment motion in Parliament. It will be discussed on Thursday. It is noteworthy that South Korean media has stated that there is a possibility of the President fleeing the country in this context.
