Martial law awaiting presidential order... to "keep it until it's lifted"

[Anchor]
Martial law in the Ministry of Defense has been maintained since the president declared emergency martial law.

Despite the resolution of the National Assembly's emergency martial law lifting request, the military authorities plan to wait until the president orders it.

I'll connect with a reporter from the Ministry of National Defense to find out the trend. Reporter Park Heejae!

What is the trend of martial law history?

[Reporter]
There is no news yet from the Ministry of National Defense, where martial law in the compound was established.

Although the request for the lifting of the emergency martial law was approved at the plenary session of the National Assembly, the martial law command itself is maintained.An official from

said he was waiting for a separate order from the president a little while ago and was currently watching whether a cabinet meeting would be held as he had to go through a state council to lift martial law.

According to the current martial law law, the current form of martial law is subject to the command and supervision of the president, not the commander of martial law, so if you look at Article 6, which stipulates that the whole country is a martial law area, the president is required to direct and supervise it.

Although the declaration or decree did not clearly specify the region, experts analyze that based on the part that referred to the "local council" in Article 1 of the decree or the phrase that ordered the return of majors, the whole country is actually viewed as a region.

Are martial law troops out in the city center also on standby?

[Reporter]
A little while ago, a reporter from the Ministry of Social Affairs accurately conveyed the external situation, and martial law troops in the National Assembly once broke the window and entered the main office, but no additional entry has been made yet.

It is reported that most of them are also withdrawing from the compound.

Currently, only some of them are reportedly waiting around the National Assembly building, but martial law history has not reportedly ordered additional entry since withdrawing from the building a little while ago.

For now, no additional details have been confirmed regarding the emergency alert and preparedness that had been imposed on all troops earlier.

It seems that the military is also waiting for the president's order.

I'll let you know as soon as the additional content is covered.

So far, I'm YTN Park Heejae from the Ministry of National Defense.
