Thousands demonstrated in Seoul to support the ex-president Jun Sok-Jola after his appeal by the Constitutional Court in South Korea. The court’s decision means the presidential election no later than June, thereby terminating political instability.
Voltage and protests
Long waiting for the decision increased the tensions in the country and supported ultra -right support for the ex -president. Competitive gatherings were held against them in Seoul. The supporters of the dismissed President demonstrated in the rain, chanting passwords such as “indictment is invalid!” And “to annul the early choices!”
Jun’s message
Jun Sok-Jol defended an attempt to declare martial law to protect against “anti-state forces” and threats from North Korea. This step has received support for right -wing influencers and extremist religious personalities who, according to experts, increased support through misinformation.
Opposition leader Lee Cae-Mjung has a chance to succeed in the future elections and his party holds a more conciliatory approach to North Korea. Some Jun’s supporters perceive this change negatively and are afraid of the transition of South Korea to the Socialist regime.
