Korean Media: South Korean Parliament Vote Could Revoke Martial Law

BlockBeats News, December 3rd. According to Hankyoreh, on Tuesday night, the South Korean President announced the imposition of martial law. However, if the agreement is repealed by a vote in the opposition-controlled parliament, the martial law will be short-lived.

Following this unexpected move by South Korean President Yoon Suk-yeol, the opposition Democratic Party swiftly mobilized to abolish the measure, despite earlier reports that access to the Korean National Assembly building had been blocked under the state of emergency order. Democratic Party leader Lee In-myeong issued an urgent directive to all members of parliament to convene in the parliamentary chamber that day.

Despite the restrictions on entry and exit imposed by the decree, lawmakers began to gather together, striving to annul the declaration. As of 11:54 p.m. (10:54 p.m. Beijing time), it is still unclear how many people have entered the building. (Jinse)
