      SS : 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

      Wouldn’t this affect the stability that Korea has experienced for decades?

      Well I wasn’t expecting this news today. So is this an attempted coup or has the DPRK really infiltrated the South to that extent. I’m guessing the former

      Damm is entire western democratic sphere just collapsing? I’m seriously concerned about the future of democracy world wide.

      His statement reads like a satire of a dictator. Aside from himself, does he have any support for this? Is the military actually going along with it?

      >“Through this martial law, I will rebuild and protect the free Republic of Korea, which is falling into the depths of national ruin. I will eliminate anti-state forces as quickly as possible and normalize the country,” he said, while asking the people to believe in him and tolerate “some inconveniences.”

      How many countries will be willing to put sanctions? This is basically a self-coup on sketchy reasoning.

      Man democracy isn’t really doing well is it. This is kinda ridiculous, his statements read as highly dictatorial. It seems like a self coup, or something like that.

      This sounds like words of Korean dictators that’s came before.

      Why does it feel like we are heading towards world war 3 diplomacy is weakening and its similar to the path that leds to world war 3

      I find this quite worrying and very similar to Trump’s “enemy within,” rhetoric.

      Ah yes, the Ferdinand Marcos playbook. The same dialogue, the same premise. The geezer looks like Marcos too.

      To what extent does the army or any other serious political quantity support the president? Asking as a tourist presently in SK otherwise ignorant of all things geopolitical.

      Now it’s time to familiarise ourselves with the word Self-coup again:

      A self-coup, also called an autocoup (from Spanish autogolpe) or coup from the top, is a form of coup d’état in which a political leader, having come to power through legal means, stays in power through illegal means through the actions of themselves and/or their supporters. The leader may dissolve or render powerless the national legislature and unlawfully assume extraordinary powers not granted under normal circumstances. Other measures may include annulling the nation’s constitution, suspending civil courts, and having the head of government assume dictatorial powers.
