Political turmoil rocked South Korea
President Yoon Suk Yeol of South Korea this morning lifted an emergency martial law declaration hours after imposing it, bowing to pressure by lawmakers and protesters who resisted his audacious attempt to overcome a political deadlock that has hobbled his tenure.
It was the first time in more than 40 years that a South Korean president had declared martial law. Here’s what to know.
Yoon’s decree, which he announced in an unscheduled address late last night, incited political chaos and evoked memories of the country’s dictatorial postwar regimes. As largely peaceful demonstrations arose in Seoul, the National Assembly voted 190 to 0 to rescind the president’s declaration. Hours later, Yoon convened his cabinet, which agreed to end martial law.
Yoon, who is deeply unpopular, characterized his decision as an act “of national resolve against the anti-state forces that are trying to paralyze the essential functions of the state.” Top presidential aides have now offered to resign, and opposition lawmakers say they will begin impeachment proceedings unless Yoon himself steps down. Read more about the political backdrop to the crisis.
On the ground: Thousands of protesters gathered outside the National Assembly, chanting, “End martial law!” Others filled a section of an eight-lane road to call for Yoon’s arrest. A trade union with more than a million members declared an “indefinite general strike” and said it would demand Yoon’s resignation.
Analysis: The Biden administration has hailed South Korea as a model democracy and bolstered military ties, relying on the country as a bulwark against North Korea, China and Russia. The crisis has risked straining those ties, our correspondents write.
| - Los nervios se entienden un poco mejor si se señala en paralelo que Corea del Sur es de los principales aliados de EE.UU. en Extremo Oriente, siempre con un ojo puesto en China. La crisis local también es de equilibrio político regional con consecuencias globales cuando Corea del Norte ya tiene tropas luchando junto a Rusia contra Ucrania. |
| - Y es que este sobresalto golpista pone sobre la mesa una vez más cómo la guerra fría nunca acabó en la península coreana. Pero también que crece el desconcierto por las aristas de la actual inestabilidad global. |
| - Seúl vive hoy en la inestabilidad. Ayer el presidente surcoreano declaró la ley marcial contra la mayoría parlamentaria. Luego, tras su voto en contra y la movilización popular, la retiró. Sigue la duda clave: ¿es la paz antes de otra nueva tormenta? Lo parece. |
