British Guardian "Continued confusion after martial law attempt...Need new leadership"

The Guardian, a British daily, argued that Yoon Suk Yeol's attempt at martial law is still causing tremendous confusion in South Korea and that new leadership is needed.

The Guardian said in an editorial on Wednesday local time that the crisis is damaging a country that has emerged from poverty and devastation to play a vital role in global trade and technology flows and has become a rare democratic success story in Asia.

In addition, President Yoon said that he is in a "dead-duck" rather than a "lame-duck" and a more serious power vacuum, arguing that what is needed is not a "road map of retreat" but an immediate election.

The BBC, a British public broadcaster, noted in an article titled "South Korea's President Yoon, Vowing to Fight to the Last," that President Yoon reiterated his existing position in today's (12th) statement, including the denial of the rebellion and the opposition's false accusation of instigation, and emphasized that he would not avoid legal and political responsibility.

In a similar article, the British daily Financial Times analyzed that President Yoon Suk Yeol defended the declaration of emergency martial law ahead of the second impeachment vote on the 14th.

In addition, he delivered the remarks of Han Dong-hoon, the leader of the People's Power, who said suspension of his duties due to impeachment is the only way to solve the problem, predicting that President Yoon's political fate could be decided within a few days.

France's AFP news agency interpreted President Yoon as justifying martial law, saying he made it clear that he would fight with the people until the end through a resistant statement.
