SEOUL - North Korean media on Dec 12 reported that public anger in South Korea was growing against South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol and the ruling party following the short-lived imposition of martial law last week.
“Calls for puppet Yoon Suk Yeol to be impeached are growing day after day amid intensifying political turmoil,” the Korean Central News Agency (KCNA) said in a report.
“The confrontation between the ruling and opposition parties is deepening,” the report added.
North Korean media broke the silence over Mr Yoon’s martial law decree
The KCNA report also noted that Mr Yoon has been banned from leaving the country and has also been named a suspect in investigations over his ill-conceived attempt to impose martial law.
North Korean state media often comment on Seoul’s foreign policy and military moves, but they had kept mum for days following Mr Yoon’s martial law declaration last week, which lasted only six hours before he was forced to rescind it by Parliament. REUTERS
