KR South Korean president declares emergency martial law, accusing opposition of anti-state activities

Article | Archive

South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol declared an “emergency martial law,” Tuesday accusing the country’s opposition of controlling the parliament, sympathizing with North Korea and paralyzing the government with anti-state activities.

Yoon made the announcement during a televised briefing. He declared the step as critical for defending the country’s constitutional order. It wasn’t immediately clear how the steps would affect the country’s governance and democracy.

Yoon since taking office in 2022 had struggled to push his agendas against an opposition-controlled parliament.

I wonder what Legal Mindset’s take on this will be given that he’s in Seoul. Hopefully he supports it. I like the guy and I’d hate to see him purged.

There is what looks like a couch blocking a hall way. I don't speak Gookese so I don't know what the fuck is going on.

South Korean opposition leader Lee Jae-myung: — “Yoon Suk Yeol is no longer the president of South Korea.”

Soldiers in South Korea have suddenly started leaving the parliament.

The people of South Korea are chanting, “End martial law, overthrow the dictatorship.”

A sexy ass tank spotted patrolling the streets in Seoul, is this a Leopard? Im not good with military equipment but it looks sexy as fuck


*Edit* Parliament is picking up now, I suspect Martial law will end in a few hours after the vote will be finalised on. Both parties are condemning Yoon’s decision to enact Martial law- I doubt he will last long now, considering he is extremely unpopular among the public.

They're holding an emergency meeting currently. Presumably they will announce a course of action afterwards.

Once again the odds of a happening have been greatly exaggerated.

 

[Male Idiot]

The Norks would be retarded to do so as well. One shelling or case of usual chimpery would provide Yoon a "Wag the dog" opportunity to rationalize martial law.

If the 2 Koreas were smart about it, Kim could have been bribed to shoot a shell or two over, and Yoon could just pay him for it later and become dongtator for life. But that window is closed now.

The Kims are enemies of the Church!

Someone arrest that piteog!
