Crisis in Seoul: South Korean military announces suspension of parliament operations.


The South Korean military has announced a ban on lawmakers' access to parliament and the suspension of parliamentary activities in the country. Evidence of this was the increased presence of police around the National Assembly building in the capital of South Korea, Seoul. President Yoon Suk Yeol also declared a state of emergency, which he considers necessary to protect the country from North Korean communist forces and to eliminate anti-state elements.
The opposition has stated that the declaration of a state of emergency is unconstitutional. The leader of the Democratic Party, Lee Jae-myung, called it incorrect, while the head of the ruling People Power Party, Han Dong-hoon, promised to block this decision. President Yoon Suk Yeol does not inspire confidence among the population due to scandals and controversies, including accusations against his wife of financial manipulation.
After the general elections, the opposition achieved victory, and President Yoon became the target of criticism and unfair assessment. He has been unable to implement reforms as the opposition holds prevailing positions in parliament.
