Seoul: Leader of South Korea’s ruling party called for the removal of President Yoon Suk Yeol, accusing him of attempting to impose martial law.
This statement came amid government denials of reports suggesting that a new martial law declaration was being prepared.
Tensions have escalated within the political landscape as the ruling party grapples with the implications of such allegations.
Yoon shocked the nation and his own ruling People Power Party on Tuesday when he gave the military sweeping emergency powers in order to root out what he called “anti-state forces” and overcome obstructionist political opponents.
