south korea is in trouble..!? What happened?
As discontent with the South Korean president has risen, the people of the country are angry that they are not satisfied with the efforts being made to remove him from office. Usually, North Korean news is the most talked about topic. But now, panchayats have emerged from South Korea.
South Korean President Yoon's recent comments have drawn criticism. Following this, a vote was held in the country's parliament two weeks ago to remove him from office. However, according to South Korean law, the final decision to remove the president from office must be made by the Constitutional Court. The responsibility of appointing 3 judges to this court lies with the interim president, 'Han Tak-soo'.
But the man has not taken any action to appoint judges. The tense parliament has also brought a resolution against him. If 151 votes are cast in favor of the resolution, it will be passed. So far, 192 votes have been recorded. Therefore, expectations have arisen among the people of the country as to when the interim president will take office. The beginning of the problem: The beginning of all this is the announcement of martial law. President Yun had announced that he would implement martial law a few days ago. He had pointed his finger at north korea for this. He had said that North Korean supporters were engaging in serious activities against the South Korean government, and since these activities have now intensified, martial law is being implemented with no other choice.
What does martial law say?: Martial law should only be implemented in times of crisis. However, this law has been implemented many times in South Korea. This law interferes with the rights of the public. One is that this law restricts freedom of speech, expression, and the press. In addition, orders such as curfews can also be issued through martial law. Moreover, cases of national importance will be heard by the military court.
The South Korean people strongly protested because all these were dictatorial actions in a democratic country. Following the protest, the president withdrew his announcement. He also apologized publicly. However, the opposition parties in the country used the opposition against him to their advantage. There are now demands that President Yun be taken into custody and questioned. Usually, information coming from north korea is widely discussed. But this is the first time that such a large political instability exists in South Korea.
In terms of international politics, south korea is dependent on the United States, Britain, and european countries. north korea is on the side of china and Russia. It is noteworthy that north korea sent 11,000 soldiers to support russia in the ukraine war.
