if you missed it the president declared martial law out of fucking nowhere at around 10pm or so last night. publicly he claimed that this was to defend against north korea, but according to the BBC it was mostly was because he was frustrated nobody listened to him because everyone despises this guy. nobody wanted to pass his laws, so he just vetoed everything. and I guess he reached a breaking point last night and threw an absolutely legendary tantrum.
so people were immediately confused, and that confusion turned to anger because martial law means people can get arrested much more easily, and also, what the general fuck? and protests began at parliament, and the combination of protestors and police were blocking the way in.
and then 190 parliament members showed up in the middle of the night, at least some of them had to to jump a fence and/or evade police not letting them in, and they got inside and voted 190-0 to un-declare martial law. not a single person there voted to maintain martial law, and not a single person who would have voted to maintain martial law bothered to show up. that vote happened at around 1am.
and within a few hours the president announced that fine, he will undo martial law. and then he undid it. and then people started calling for his resignation or impeachment.
and then people started waking up. this all went down within a few extremely baffling hours. good morning!
