The South Korean military says it will maintain martial law until it is lifted by President Yoon Suk Yeol, despite the nation’s parliament voting to block its enforcement, according to the country’s national broadcaster.
Totally normal democracy stuff here guys. Yoon’s also in lame duck period too.
Let’s see how enforceable that declaration actually is with the law itself, the National Assembly, the cabinet whose backs Yoon went behind to pull this stunt, and at least 2/3 of the population who already disapproved of him before this opposing it.
I’d be willing to bet their president does not have direct control over payroll for their military. That tends to put a stop to things pretty damn quick.
