"Yoon Suk-yeol's Anti-Democratic Dictatorial Declaration:

The People Will Not Forgive This Anti-Democratic Martial Law

The unimaginable has happened. Martial law has been declared for the first time in 44 years. On December 3rd, Yoon Suk-yeol announced an emergency statement at the Presidential Office in Yongsan late at night and declared martial law. While the stated reason for declaring martial law is "to eradicate pro-North Korean forces and maintain the constitutional order," all citizens except Yoon Suk-yeol understand the true meaning of this martial law declaration. Yoon Suk-yeol has chosen the irrational and anti-democratic method of martial law to extend his political life as he has been driven to the edge.

Martial law was a tool chosen by the military dictatorships of Park Chung-hee and Chun Doo-hwan to destroy democracy and human rights in order to extend their power. It is a measure that hasn't been taken for 44 years since our society achieved at least a formal democratic system. In the end, faced with a crisis of his own power, Yoon Suk-yeol has essentially admitted to his anti-democratic dictatorship through this irrational and anti-democratic measure of martial law.

The people will not forgive this. They remember the fate of regimes that declared martial law. The people clearly remember the end of regimes that deceived the citizens and damaged democracy. The people never forgave regimes that suppressed citizens and violated democracy.

The Yoon Suk-yeol regime has declared its own end of power. The declaration of martial law is effectively a declaration of the Yoon regime's end. All citizens and people of this land, including the Korean Confederation of Trade Unions, will declare the end of Yoon Suk-yeol through this martial law. This is now the end for Yoon Suk-yeol.
