		</div><p>South Korea’s President Yoon Suk Yeol has declared an “emergency martial law”, accusing the country’s opposition of controlling the parliament, sympathising with North Korea and paralysing the government with anti-state activities.</p>
<p>Mr Yoon made the announcement during a televised briefing.</p>
<p>He declared the step as critical for defending the country’s constitutional order.</p>
<p>It is not immediately clear how the steps will affect the country’s governance and democracy.</p>
<p>Since taking office in 2022, Mr Yoon has struggled to push his agendas against an opposition-controlled parliament.</p>
<p>His approval rating has dipped in recent months.</p>
<p>Mr Yoon’s conservative People Power Party had been locked in an impasse with the liberal opposition Democratic Party over next year’s budget bill.</p>
<p>He has also dismissed calls for independent investigations into scandals involving his wife and top officials – drawing quick, strong rebukes from his political rivals.</p>
<p>The Democratic Party reportedly called an emergency meeting of its legislators following Mr Yoon’s announcement.</p>
