In South Korea, MoD and police representatives were barred from entering parliament
Representatives of the South Korean Defense Ministry and police will not be able to enter the country's parliament. This was announced on December 4 by parliamentary secretary general Kim Min-gi.
"Starting today, the parliament secretariat has decided to ban all defense ministry and police officials from entering the parliament. This is an urgent measure to protect the security of lawmakers and ensure the functioning of the National Assembly," he said at a press conference broadcast on the parliament's YouTube channel.
Kim Min-gi added that the parliamentary administration is also in the process of calculating the total damage from the declaration of martial law in the country.
Korean President Yun Seok-yol declared martial law in the country on Dec. 3. The reason given was the threat of power paralysis due to attempts to conduct impeachment proceedings. Commander of the emergency regime, Chief of Staff of the Ground Forces Park Ahn Soo noted that the activities of Parliament, political parties and associations in South Korea are prohibited until the martial law is lifted. Military equipment was brought to the streets of the capital Seoul.
Later in the day, the South Korean government voted in favor of lifting martial law in the country. After that, South Korean President Yun Seok-yol canceled the emergency gathering of servicemen and sent those who arrived for the draft back.
In turn, the opposition party of South Korea demanded the resignation of the President of the country Yun Seok-yol, and also declared its intention to accuse him of treason.
At the same time it became known that all heads of the administration of the President of South Korea, as well as senior secretaries resigned. In addition, the trade unions of South Korea announced a general strike.
