South Korea’s President Yoon declares emergency martial law

3 Dec 2024
South Korea’s president has declared emergency martial law, accusing the opposition of antistate activities.

Entrance to the National Assembly was sealed on Tuesday and parliamentarians were barred from entering the building, according to local news outlet Yonhap.

While making the announcement in a late-night televised address, President Yoon Suk-yeol said he will rebuild a free and democratic country through martial law.

“To safeguard a liberal South Korea from the threats posed by North Korea’s communist forces and to eliminate antistate elements … I hereby declare emergency martial law,” Yoon said in a live televised address.

“This is an unavoidable measure to ensure the freedom and safety of the people and guarantee the sustainability of the nation against the unrest stirred by these subversive, antistate elements.

“The National Assembly has also completely cut budgets essential for national operations, drug crime prevention and public safety, undermining the core functions of the state. This has left our citizens in a state of chaos with the nation becoming a haven for drugs and public safety collapsing.”

General Park An-soo, the martial law commander, announced a number of measures under the declaration, including prohibitions on all political activities, “including those of the National Assembly, local councils, political parties, and political associations, as well as assemblies [and] demonstrations”.

The order prohibited labour strikes and slowdowns, as well as “gatherings that incite social disorder”. It further stated that all media will be placed under the control of the Martial Law Command.

“Any acts that deny or attempt to overthrow the liberal democratic system, as well as the dissemination of fake news, manipulation of public opinion, or false propaganda,” the order said.

Healthcare workers, including doctors who are currently on strike, must return to work within 48 hours or risk punishment.

“Violators of this proclamation will be subject to arrest, detention, and search and seizure without a warrant,” the commander noted.

Dear ART+CULTURE readers know my background and my book about South- and North- Korea, published in 1988 in Germany and 1989 in South Korea.

The main problem lies in the head of those South Koreans, who think that the actual President Yoon did the right thing, is not an idiot by declaring emergency martial law.

It reminds me of South Korea’s dictator Chun Doo-hwan 전두환.

If you think, South Koreans had grown up, shook off a politics of dictatorship, you are wrong. The 3rd of December of 2024 has proven, that South Koreans are still endorsing politicians, who think they can do politics by declaring emergency martial law.
Watch the South Korean soldiers entering the South Korean Parliament through smashed windows! That’s a Coup d’état!

Shame on South Korea!
