South Korean President Yoon Suk-yeol stunned the nation Tuesday with a televised announcement of emergency martial law, citing a "constitutional crisis" fueled by political gridlock. 🔥 The move comes after weeks of tension between his administration and the opposition-dominated parliament.
Why Now?
Yoon accused opposition parties of "holding the parliamentary process hostage" and blocking key government proposals, including a budget bill. Earlier this week, the opposition-led legislature moved to impeach top prosecutors aligned with Yoon's agenda. 🗳️💥
What's Next?
Details remain scarce—Yoon didn't outline specific measures in his address. Critics warn the declaration could escalate tensions in a country still deeply shaped by its democratic transition in the 1980s. 📢 Will this stabilize the situation or spark wider unrest? Stay tuned.
