11:03 pm
government. thank you genuine mot. let's cross now to eunice kim, who is monica monitoring developments from? so eunice, it's certainly been a dramatic night of developments in south korea and politics took us through want president you and have to say the best. right. well, you just heard uh, pretty much the entire address. so when president, you saw your came back up on national television some uh now 6 hours, 7 hours since his initial statement at about 10 best 10 on tuesday of declaring again that, that marshall on and explaining that it is because he feels that the government has been paralyzed by the acts of pro northwind forces in some, but he is now back tracking on that and honoring the caused by not only
11:04 pm
members of the main opposition democratic party, but also of his own party people power party to follow the constitutional law and accept the national assemblies successful motion to call for the cancellation of this martial law. now we are already hearing early lines from a reaction from the democratic party. the floor leader of that main opposition party is calling on the president you to immediately step down and take responsibility for this act and, and essentially saying that he has proven that he is unfit to go ahead and, and continue raining. he is just halfway through south korea as a single 5 year presidential term. we're also hearing lines from the leader of the his party, the people power party handle who and saying that the president must take
11:05 pm
responsibility by, you know, seriously reviewing the future of his defense minister and, and others who, who may be involved in this decision of which we still have yet to know concretely how this decision came about. all right, thank you, eunice. that's eunice came reporting from some let's put this into context. it's been decades since marshall has been imposed in south korea when the country was actually ruled by military dictatorships. the last declaration of martial lo to be made was in october 1917. 9 of the president talked to him. she was assassinated in may, 1980 general charles turned to one extended marshal, lord, nationwide to seize power. smoking the ground, drew democratic uprising also coals, the ne 18 movement that uprising was met by
11:06 pm
a violent response from the military. hundreds of civilians and students were killed by the late 19 eighties. south korean moved to democracy, following major protests free elections as the creation of a new constitution. i'm joined now by catherine who is a professor of political science at the wellesley college she studies and has published on authoritarian since authoritarianism and democracy in south korea. and she joins me now live from cambridge in massachusetts. thank you so much for joining me, catherine. let's talk firstly about putting this into context. i was just describing some of the, the political context. but if we look at the relationship between south korea and marshal, there is history. the how significant then was that when president june invoked this phrase of imposing martial low on south korea. i guess you, you are actually right. this is an astounding turn of events. uh,
11:07 pm
given south korea's uh, pretty recent history. me south korea's democracy is still very young only starting in 1988 after nearly 3 decades of authoritarian rule and much of which had been very harsh. decatur, a very harsh dictatorship under 3 different dictators. the 1st of whom was pop joan, he, he was quite brutal and he had the longest tenure as in a storage area leader. south korea is more noted around the world for its vibrant, massive, almost celebratory democracy movement starting in the 19 eighties and. and then now we know south korea for is k pop and it's cultural exports all over the world as well as it's cars and such. so this is astounding that a democracy that celebrates its newness it's vibrant. see how
11:08 pm
to do experienced this kind of a backward thrust, perpetrated by mr. young, the president of south korea. katherine, i do want to ask how you perceive this in terms of its impact on the global perception of south korea's democracy. because if we look at the constitution, the declaration of most martial law must be reserved for the most serious situation . so i want to ask this effect that the president was able to make this circuit declaration point to some weaknesses in south trans democratic frameworks, or just the fact that he's already back down indeed point to its strength. and i would say the latter, i think the fact that his marshal law declaration lasted only 2 and a half hours. and during the middle of the night, says a lot of the south koreans in general do not put up with this nonsense. the
11:09 pm
national assembly, surprisingly, were unified in voting against the martial law situation and calling for a revocation unanimously. the democratic party that is the opposition party controls about a $170.00 seats out of $300.00. they have the majority. they won by a landslide this past spring. and or i'm sorry, yeah, yes, it's past spring. and the fact that the leader of president unit own conservative party, the people's power party, came out condemning president humans decision and declaration and calling it to be nearly treacherous. i find that to be a very promising response to this unprecedented act in south korea's democracy. and i thank you so much. and catherine, that's catherine moon, who is a professor of all sorts hearing this and,
