“I tried ​to stop president Yoon Seok-yeol,‌ but I could not. “I⁤ am truly ‌sorry and feel a​ lot of guilt.”

Prime Minister Han Deok-soo attended the plenary session of ⁢the national Assembly on the 11th and responded to the Cabinet ⁤meeting to intentional martial law on December 3, saying, “It would have been really short if (the State Council members) had all gathered together.” As Prime‍ Minister Han said that the Cabinet meeting did ⁤not ​proceed normally at the⁢ time, controversy over whether martial law was illegal in terms of procedures ⁣is expected to spread.Prime Minister Han bowed and apologized four times ⁣in response to the opposition party’s request for an apology, and‍ the state Council members, except for ⁤Minister of Employment and Labor Kim Moon-soo, also stood up and ⁣bowed their heads. Conversely, members of ⁤the People Power Party who ⁢took⁣ questions at the plenary ​session on this day made⁣ statements⁢ defending President Yoon, such as saying, “Legally, it does not constitute a crime of treason,” leading to strong opposition from ⁣opposition⁤ party members.

● “尹’s first⁣ word is ‘I didn’t discuss it with anyone.’”

In the ‘Urgent Questions on president Yoon seok-yeol’s⁤ unconstitutional declaration​ of martial⁢ law and acts of rebellion’ held ⁣at the plenary session of the National ⁤Assembly on this day, Prime⁣ Minister Han ⁢said, ‌“The procedures that are usually​ held⁤ at the Cabinet‌ meeting

Actually, according to the Ministry⁣ of Public ⁤administration and Security, the cabinet meeting regarding the deliberation of ⁤martial law declaration was held in the Presidential Office reception room for‌ five minutes ​from 10:17‌ to 22 p.m. on the‌ 3rd. The Ministry of Public Administration and Security released the list of 11 State Council members, including President Yoon and Prime Minister Han, who attended and attended the meeting. ‌The cabinet meeting related to the lifting​ was held ⁢for just two minutes from 4:27 to 29 a.m. on the next day, the​ 4th, in⁢ the Presidential Office’s cabinet meeting‌ room.

Representative‍ Lee So-young of the ‌Democratic‍ Party of Korea asked the State Council members, “Which of the State Council members ⁤sitting‍ here clearly expressed their opinion in front of the President on December 3rd that they are opposed to martial law? ‍When he said,⁣ “Raise your hands,” only two people, including Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of⁣ Economy and Finance Choi Sang-mok and Minister of Foreign Affairs ‌Cho Tae-yeol, ⁤raised their hands. ​Prime Minister Han added,“I told the president that I am against it.”

●​ “There is no transcript of remarks from the President’s Office or ‍Cabinet meeting.”

The Ministry ‌of Public Administration and ​security said on this day, “The President’s ​Office responded that it did not possess the substance ‍of the cabinet meeting’s remarks⁣ at the time.” Former Minister of Public Administration and Security Lee Sang-min said at the National Assembly’s Public⁣ Administration and security Committee on the 5th, “We will receive relevant data from the President’s​ Office and disclose it ⁢as soon‍ as‌ possible as​ soon as we finish preparing the minutes,” but the President’s Office ‌insisted‌ that there was no transcript of remarks.

Rep. Yoon Sang-hyun of the People Power Party, who ⁤took questions that day, referred to martial law as a “high level political act” and received strong protests from opposition party members. Rep. Yoon argued, “According⁤ to the 2010 Supreme Court precedent, the unconstitutionality of highly ⁤political acts is judged while respecting the president’s authority and refraining from judicial⁢ review.” Rep. Yoon mentioned ​the requirements for constituting treason under the criminal⁣ law and said, “If⁤ you look at the⁣ situation at the time, the military did‍ not go to any media or broadcasting company, but only the National Assembly and the Election Commission ‍went,” and⁤ said that‌ martial law did not legally constitute a treason.

Shouts poured out at Rep. Yoon from⁣ the opposition ⁢party’s seats, and National Assembly Speaker Woo Won-sik also pointed out his remarks, saying, “The military entered the National Assembly ⁣with guns by order of the President.”

Democratic Party lawmaker Park Seon-won claimed that the 707th⁢ Special Mission Group, a member of the Special Operations Command, which was deployed to the National ​assembly as martial law troops, was carrying shotguns and ‍explosives. Representative Park presented a photo taken at the scene and said,“Martial law troops ‍were holding explosive equipment and explosives to ⁤open a passage,” and “A blue line‍ of detonators was also found on the members’ vests.”

  • What are the potential consequences for the ruling party in South ‌Korea following the martial law controversy?

    interview Between Time.news Editor and Political Expert Dr. ⁣Lim Ji-woo

    Time.news editor: good afternoon, Dr. Lim.Thank you for joining us today. We⁤ are witnessing a meaningful‌ political crisis ​in ⁤South Korea following Prime Minister Han Deok-soo’s apology regarding ‍the controversial martial law declaration. Can you help⁣ us unpack this⁤ situation?

    Dr. lim⁣ Ji-woo: Good afternoon,and ⁤thank ‍you for having me. Yes, the political climate is⁣ indeed turbulent. The recent ‌plenary ​session in the National Assembly raised⁣ serious questions about‌ the legality and appropriateness of the martial ⁢law declared by President Yoon Seok-yeol.

    Editor: ‌Prime Minister Han’s repeated apologies certainly indicate a deep-seated issue. What ⁣implications do ⁢you think this‍ has for⁢ the government and the ruling party‌ moving forward?

    dr. Lim: Prime Minister ​Han’s apologies ⁢are‌ significant as‍ they reflect the internal conflict ⁣and dissent among government officials. His admission of attempting to‍ oppose the martial law indicates​ that ‌not everyone in the ⁣State Council is aligned‍ with President ⁢Yoon’s decisions. This may lead to ‍further ‍scrutiny and could possibly divide the ruling party if⁤ they don’t ⁢address the​ concerns of those within their ranks.

    Editor: It’s also notable that during the National Assembly session,⁤ only two⁢ members supported ​this position against⁤ the President. What does this say about the political dynamics within the State Council?

    Dr. Lim: This is telling. The​ fact that only Choi Sang-mok‌ and​ Jo Tae-yeol raised their hands conveys a sense of⁣ apprehension among the⁢ state Council members.It suggests they might feel pressured to maintain loyalty to the⁣ President, despite their reservations. This kind‌ of dissent, however muted, is unusual and could lead to a shake-up in⁤ the ‍administration, especially if the public perception⁤ shifts further against President Yoon.

    Editor: The opposition party’s claims regarding the use of martial law as a “high-level political ⁢act”‌ also complicate matters.How⁤ do ⁢you interpret these remarks in the context of South ⁤Korea’s legal ⁣framework?

    Dr. Lim: The framing of martial law ​as a “political act” points to a risky precedent. The assertion from Representative‌ Yoon Sang-hyun that such actions should not undergo judicial scrutiny underlines a potential vulnerability in South Korea’s constitutional checks and balances. This could ​set back⁢ democratic norms if the executive branch begins to act⁢ unilaterally in extraordinary circumstances without ⁢accountability.

    Editor: Prime Minister Han mentioned that the Cabinet meeting where martial⁣ law was discussed ​was barely longer​ than two minutes. Does this suggest procedural violations?

    Dr.lim: ⁢ Absolutely. The ⁣brevity of the meeting is alarming and raises serious questions regarding ⁤the decision-making process. If protocols were bypassed and not all voices were adequately heard, it casts doubt on‍ the legitimacy of the martial law⁢ declaration. Legal experts ⁢and constitutional scholars might likely challenge this on ⁤the grounds of procedural impropriety, which could lead to further investigations.

    Editor: It ⁣seems the President’s Office has stated that there are no available transcripts ‌of the ‌Cabinet meetings discussing​ martial law. Why is this⁢ significant?

    Dr. Lim: This is crucial because the absence of documented discussions prevents clarity and erodes ⁢public trust in the government’s actions. Without ‍a‍ clear account of what transpired during the decision-making process, it‍ leaves room‌ for speculation​ and can fuel allegations⁢ of impropriety or⁣ even treasonous behavior, especially amid ​opposition claims. This non-disclosure could backfire politically, as citizens⁢ demand⁤ accountability from‍ their leaders.

    Editor: As this situation develops, what do you think ​is the most critical factor that can influence ‌the political landscape ⁤in South Korea?

    Dr. Lim: The public’s ‍response will⁣ be decisive. if ⁣dissatisfaction continues to grow, as we have seen with the opposition’s bold⁣ rhetoric,‌ it could⁤ mobilize widespread protests or ‌lead to further political​ fragmentation ‌within the ruling party. ⁣The government’s ability to effectively address the concerns raised⁢ during this‍ crisis will determine its stability ‍moving forward.

    Editor: Thank you, Dr.Lim,⁤ for providing such insightful perspectives. It sounds like we are at a pivotal moment⁤ in South Korea’s political history, and we’ll need to watch how⁤ the government navigates through this‌ crisis.

    Dr. Lim: ‍Thank you for having me. It’s indeed a⁢ critical time, and ⁢the coming days ‍will be essential in shaping South Korea’s political future.
