Even his own party urged the president to do so.
The president’s own political party called on him to end efforts to impose martial law as the country’s political blocs united against the move. The party called on Yun “to accept the resolution of the National Assembly on the abolition of martial law and immediately abolish it.”
President Yoon Suk Yeol made a televised address promising to lift martial law and withdraw troops from the streets of the capital.
“We will withdraw the introduced troops and immediately consider the appeal of the National Assembly at a meeting of the Cabinet of Ministers and cancel the martial law,” he said.
According to Yun, to make this decision, a quorum is needed at the government meeting. There are some problems with this as it is early morning in Seoul. At the same time, he assured that martial law will be abolished.
“Nevertheless, I ask the National Assembly to immediately stop outrageous actions that paralyze the functioning of the state through repeated impeachments, legislative manipulations and budget manipulations,” he added.
