[Reporter]
Yes, Mayor Oh Se-hoon, a member of the People's Power, called the declaration of martial law an unprovoked act against the true spirit of democracy at a press conference at 4 p.m.

He also criticized the entry of martial law forces into the National Assembly as a direct violation of the separation of powers.

At the same time, he emphasized that those participating in the destruction of democracy should be held accountable.

Mayor Oh also said, "The biggest reason that triggered this incident was the extreme bulletproof National Assembly, including administrative and judicial impeachment for Lee Jae-myung, chairman of the Democratic Party of Korea
He said he would gather the wisdom of the people to re-examine the state's operational structure in the
phase.

Mayor Oh previously opposed martial law yesterday (3rd) and urged the withdrawal of it.

Along with Mayor Oh, the heads of other metropolitan governments affiliated with the People's Power also made a joint stance.

In a statement, he called for "President Yoon to apologize for the declaration of emergency martial law and express a clear position on stabilizing state affairs and measures to reform state affairs."

Opposition parties are calling for President Yoon's immediate resignation, right?

[Reporter]
That's right.

Criticism from opposition metropolitan government heads is more intense.

Five heads of the Democratic Party of Korea attended the emergency meeting and demanded in a joint statement, "President Yoon should step down immediately, taking responsibility for the destruction of the constitutional order."

Gyeonggi Province Governor Kim Dong-yeon strongly criticized the economy for fluctuating and democracy collapsed in just a few hours, and President Yoon for being arrested, not subject to impeachment,
Gwangju Mayor Kang Ki-jung stressed that emergency martial law is clearly illegal and that the president should step down.

In addition, Jeonbuk Governor Kim Kwan-young, Jeonnam Governor Kim Young-rok, and Jeju Governor Oh Young-hoon also criticized martial law as illegal and that the Republic of Korea was shaken by one person's misjudgment.
