South Korea’s president has defended his martial law decree as an act of governance and denied insurrection charges, rejecting the opposition-led impeachment attempts against him and investigations into last week’s move.
In a televised statement, Yoon Suk Yeol said: “I will fight to the end, to prevent the forces and criminal groups that have been responsible for paralysing the country’s government and disrupting the nation’s constitutional order from threatening the future of the Republic of Korea.”
Yoon said his martial law introduction was meant to defend the country’s liberal democracy and constitutional order in the face of the liberal opposition party, which he says has paralysed state affairs and threatened the constitution.
Yoon said his martial law decree was an act of governance that cannot be the subject of investigations and didn’t amount to rebellion.
“The opposition is now doing a knife dance of chaos, claiming that the declaration of martial law constitutes to an act of rebellion,” Yoon said. “But was it really?”
His statement came hours before the main liberal opposition Democratic party is expected to submits a new impeachment motion against him. The opposition party plans to put the motion to a vote this Saturday.
The leader of Yoon’s own party, Han Dong-hoon, said on Thursday that the president should be immediately suspended from his duties after declaring the short-lived martial law last week. Han said the only way to do so is for the ruling party lawmakers to vote for impeachment.
The opposition party’s earlier attempt to impeach Yoon fell through last Saturday, with ruling party lawmakers boycotting a vote at the National Assembly.
Yoon’s 3 December martial law decree has generated political chaos and protests calling for his ouster.
The main focus of the investigation is finding whether Yoon and other top military and government officials involved in imposing martial law committed rebellion. A conviction for rebellion carries a maximum penalty of death.
Earlier this week, Yoon’s former defence minister was arrested on allegations of playing a key role in a rebellion and committing abuse of power. He became the first person formally arrested over the martial law decree.
Kim, one of Yoon’s close associates, has been accused of recommending martial law to Yoon and sending troops to the national assembly to block lawmakers from voting on it. Enough lawmakers eventually managed to enter a parliament chamber and they unanimously rejected Yoon’s decree, forcing the Cabinet to lift it before daybreak on 4 December.
