The second shock for South Korea, shaken by martial law: The country's largest union has taken action.

South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol declared martial law in the country, citing the communist threats from North Korea as the reason. As Karrala took to the streets, people responding to the opposition's call marched towards the parliament.

SECOND SHOCK

According to local media reports, the Korean Confederation of Trade Unions, which has more than 1 million members, announced that union members would gather in the center of the capital, Seoul, on Wednesday morning to demand Yoon's resignation. The statement indicated that union members would go on an indefinite strike "until Yoon resigns."

LEARNED FROM THE PRESS

Choo Kyung-ho, the group leader of the ruling People Power Party (PPP) led by Yoon, stated to reporters that he was not informed of Yoon's intention to declare martial law and learned about the decision from the press. Choo noted that the military and police prevented members of parliament from entering the parliamentary building, which is why many members of the party could not attend the emergency session in the National Assembly to vote against the martial law decision. Jo Seoung-lae, a spokesperson for the opposition Democratic Party, also mentioned that military personnel entering the National Assembly attempted to detain opposition leader Lee Jae-myung, ruling party leader Han Dong-hoon, and National Assembly Speaker Woo Won-shik.

MARTIAL LAW LIFTED

In South Korea, cabinet members approved the decision to end martial law after the proposal to lift it was unanimously accepted by the parliament.

According to Yonhap's report, the Cabinet voted on the proposal to officially end the martial law, which had been in effect for about 6 hours. The proposal to lift martial law was approved at 4:30 AM local time, and the implementation was officially revoked.

WHAT HAPPENED?

President Yoon Suk Yeol, who declared martial law by alleging that the opposition was involved in anti-state activities, stated, "Martial law aims to eliminate pro-North Korea forces and protect the constitutional order of freedoms."

Hours after the declaration of martial law, 190 members of the 300-seat South Korean parliament unanimously accepted the lifting of martial law.

After the vote in the National Assembly, Yoon announced that he had decided to end martial law and stated that the military units assigned to implement martial law had withdrawn from the parliamentary complex.

Opponents argue that there is no war or crisis situation in the country and that Yoon's declaration of martial law is linked to the corruption allegations against him.
