The President of South Korea declared martial law yesterday. Yoon Suk Yeol described the measure as necessary to protect the liberal constitutional order from «communist forces.» According to him, the threat comes both from North Korea and local «anti-state elements» that need to be «eliminated.» However, the Parliament overturned this decision.
