Dispute over martial law
South Korean President Yoon banned from traveling abroad
President Yoon Suk-yeol has been banned from traveling abroad by the authorities in South Korea. He is currently not allowed to leave the country. The reason for this is an investigation into the temporary imposition of martial law.
Kronen Zeitung als bevorzugte Google-Quelle hinzufügen The state crisis in South Korea escalated further at the weekend. The police arrested the resigned defense minister Kim Yong-hyun on Sunday. He is said to have recommended the imposition of martial law and ordered the deployment of troops to parliament.
Yoon had followed Yong-hyun's advice and unexpectedly declared martial law on Tuesday.
Martial law lifted after six hours
He justified this with the accusation that the opposition was a stooge of communist North Korea and had paralyzed the parliamentary process in order to plunge the country into a crisis. After massive protests, he lifted martial law after six hours.
On Saturday, Yoon survived a push by the opposition for impeachment proceedings because his ruling People's Power Party (PPP) stayed away from the parliamentary vote.
However, the conservative PPP wants to transfer the affairs of state to Prime Minister Han Duck-soo until Yoon resigns. The president has so far refused to resign.
