South Korea's Democratic Party Warns of Second Martial Law Decree from President Yoon Amid Protests
Dec 6, 2024, 06:02 AM
South Korea's Democratic Party has raised alarms over a potential second martial law decree from President Yoon Suk Yeol, following his initial attempt to impose martial law. This has led to protests for a second day in South Korea, with citizens demanding Yoon's resignation. The ruling party leader has called for Yoon's removal, accusing him of trying to impose martial law. Reports suggest that the government has denied these allegations. An impeachment vote is scheduled for this weekend, and the Democratic Party has placed all its lawmakers on emergency standby in response to the situation. The governing party chief has expressed support for suspending Yoon's constitutional powers, making his impeachment more likely.
