South Korea News: South Korean President declares martial law in the country, makes these accusations against the opposition

  South Korean President Yoon Suk-yeol announced the imposition of martial law on Tuesday. He accused the country’s opposition of controlling parliament, being sympathetic to North Korea and destabilizing the government through anti-state activities. South Korean President Yoon Suk-yeol announced the imposition of martial law on Tuesday. He accused the country’s opposition of controlling parliament, being sympathetic to North Korea and destabilizing the government through anti-state activities. Specific measures were not disclosed, except for questions about its implementation under martial law.

Yoon, who has faced opposition from the opposition-controlled National Assembly since taking office in May 2022, insisted that the move was necessary to restore South Korea’s order and protect freedom. “I will get rid of anti-state forces as soon as possible and return the country to normal.”

This step is necessary to protect the constitution: President Yoon

President Yoon made the announcement in a television program. He said that this step is necessary to protect the country's constitution and law. However, it is not immediately clear what impact the decision will have on the country's government and democracy. Yoon took office as president in 2022. Since then, he has been facing difficulties in implementing his policies due to strong opposition.

Opposition Democratic Party lawmakers call meeting

The announcement comes as President Yoon Suk-yeol's People Power Party and the opposition Democratic Party are unable to reach an agreement on next year's budget bill. In addition, Yoon has rejected calls for an independent investigation into alleged scandals involving his wife and some top officials, drawing strong criticism from his opponents. According to the report, the Democratic Party has called an emergency meeting of its lawmakers after Yoon's announcement.

"In order to protect liberal South Korea from the threats posed by North Korea's communist forces and to eliminate anti-state elements... I hereby declare emergency martial law," Yoon said. He called the measure necessary to protect the country's independent and constitutional order.

The announcement follows a bitter dispute between Yoon's People Power Party and the opposition Democratic Party over next year's budget. Opposition lawmakers, who hold a majority in the 300-member parliament, recently approved a reduced budget proposal, which Yoon criticized for cutting key funds. "Our National Assembly has become a haven for criminals, a den of legislative tyranny that seeks to paralyze the judicial and administrative systems and overthrow our liberal democratic order," he said.

Yun accused the opposition of slashing the budget needed to combat drug crimes and maintain public safety, turning the country into a "drug haven and a state of public safety chaos."

He also labeled opposition lawmakers as "anti-state forces" who are "intended to overthrow the regime" and defended his decision as "irrevocable."

Yun added, "Without caring about the people's livelihood, the opposition party has paralyzed the regime simply to impeach, special investigations, and shield its leader from justice."
