The leader of Yoon Suk Yeol’s party has urged the South Korean president to explain his decision to introduce martial law and called for the country’s defense minister to be fired. The People Power Party leader Han Dong-hoon expressed deep regret and apologized to the public for the situation.
He emphasized the need for the president to provide a detailed explanation for the implementation of martial law, which the ruling party considers tragic and unconstitutional. Han Dong-hoon demanded the immediate dismissal of the defense minister who recommended martial law and insisted on holding all responsible parties strictly accountable.
The People’s Power Party was quick to oppose the president’s decision to impose martial law, highlighting concerns about its legality and impact on the country. The party's stance reflects a commitment to upholding democratic principles and ensuring transparency in governance.
As tensions rise in South Korea following the declaration of martial law, political leaders are under pressure to address public concerns and restore stability. The opposition’s call for accountability underscores the importance of government officials being held responsible for their actions and decisions.
