Yoon Suk Yeol Apologizes After Failed Martial Law Attempt

According to CNN, South Korean head of state Yoon Suk Yeol offered a formal apology to all citizens of South Korea after his short, ineffective bid to promote martial law. This rare event that only lasted for six hours has caused political unrest in the country and forced on the president to step down. The political conflicts in the South Korea and the questioning of the democratic spirit have been provoked by the Yoon’s live TV performance of declaring new martial law and accusing the opposition party in anti-state activity.

The declaring of the martial law responded to an armed conflict with the opposition Democratic Party, which dominates the parliament. On the same day, legislators stormed through soldiers in a few hours to unanimously reject the decree. This has been a deadly blow to Yoon and it was made worse by the fact that even those who voted for his People Power Party want him to resign. The chief of the recently created Han Dong-hoon party stated that the president simply cannot go about his daily business. Late resignation has now become inevitable.”

It has raised public anger and supported the impeachment process that will be held this weekend.
