RE:12.12. 윤석열 대통령 대국민 담화

<12.12 President Yoon Seok-yeol's Statement to the People > Dear citizens, I'm going to say today, To make a statement on emergency martial law. I'm here. Now the opposition party is saying that the declaration of emergency martial law It's a rebellion. I'm dancing a frenzied sword dance. Is that so? Is it really in Korea right now? paralysis of state affairs and disorder of national constitution Who are the forces engaged in? In the last two and a half years, the big opposition, without recognizing the president elected by the people, To pull it down, It did not stop stepping down and inciting impeachment. He did not accept the results of the presidential election. From the presidential election to the present. 178 resignations of the president, Impeachment rallies have been held since the beginning of his term. In order to paralyze the president's management of state affairs, Since the inauguration of our government, Dozens of government officials have been impeached. Impeached officials, even if they did nothing wrong, From prosecution to sentencing. You will be suspended for a long period of time. Before impeachment was proposed and prosecution was made, Many public officials voluntarily resign. I did. It has paralyzed state affairs with excessive impeachment. Minister, the chairman of the Korea Communications Commission, etc.; The head of the Board of Audit and Inspection, who investigated their misconduct, impeach prosecutors, I've come to the point of intimidating the judges. It's bulletproof impeachment to cover up their misconduct, Discipline in public office and law and order. It's completely breaking down. In addition, the unconstitutional special prosecutor bill I've proposed it 27 times. It has launched a political agitation offensive. In the end, the criminal himself told him. Self-bulletproof legislation that gives indulgence. I'm pushing it. The National Assembly, dominated by the big opposition, not the basis of liberal democracy, to destroy the constitutional order of liberal democracy He became a monster. This is paralysis of state affairs, Unless it's a national crisis. What do you mean? This is not the only thing. Now the big opposition party is going to talk about national security, It even threatens social safety. For example, three Chinese people in June He was anchored in Busan with a drone. caught filming an American aircraft carrier There was an incident. In their smartphones and laptops, who have photographed South Korean military facilities for at least two years, Photos have been found. Last month, a Chinese man in his 40s used drones. I was caught filming the NIS. This person, as soon as he entered China, Go straight to the NIS. It has been confirmed that he did this. However, under the current law, Foreign espionage. There is no way to punish him for espionage. To prevent this situation. I tried to amend the espionage clause of the criminal law, The big opposition party is stubbornly blocking it. During the previous administration, the NIS' anti-aircraft investigation authority It's not enough to deprive him of it, We are also trying to abolish the National Security Law. a spy who threatens national security. Aren't you telling me not to catch it? North Korea's illegal nuclear armament. Despite missile threat provocations, GPS disturbances and filth balloons, Even in the case of the Korean Confederation of Trade Unions spy, The big opposition party not only agrees with this, Rather, taking the side of North Korea. struggling to respond to this, I just scratched the government. North Korea's illegal nuclear development UN sanctions against North Korea should be lifted first. I insist. Which country's political party is it? I don't know which country's National Assembly is. The prosecution and police's budget for next year's special expenses and special expenses I cut it to 0 won at all. financial fraud, crimes against the socially disadvantaged, Investigations into violations of people's livelihoods, such as drug investigations, And it's an important budget used for anti-aircraft investigations. Drugs, deepfake crime response budgets. I've cut it drastically. Beyond interfering with the investigation against them, like drug investigations, gang investigations, It is also blocking the investigation of criminals for people's livelihoods. Korea as a spy paradise, a drug den, Aren't you going to make it a gangster country? These people are trying to ruin the country. Isn't it an anti-state force? And to maintain their privileges, The National Assembly budget has rather increased. The economy is also in a crisis emergency. The big opposition party is the Republic of Korea. We are trying to turn off the growth engine. Democratic cut You can see it well by looking at next year's budget details. Cut the budget for supporting the nuclear power plant ecosystem, Czech nuclear power plant export support budget I cut 90%. The budget for the development of next-generation nuclear power plants Almost all cuts. Basic science research, quantum, semiconductor, bio, etc.; The budget for future growth engines has also been drastically cut. East Sea gas field drilling budget, The so-called blue whale business budget. We've actually cut it in full. youth job support project, Projects to support the formation of assets for vulnerable children, I even touched on the child care allowance. Innovative Growth Fund to Create Industrial Ecosystem, We also cut the budget for fostering small and medium-sized enterprises. Disaster countermeasures reserves will be cut by 1 trillion won, the development of vaccines to prepare for pandemics, We also cut the related R&D budget. Like this, Korea is now... Due to the parliamentary dictatorship and violence of the big opposition party. State affairs are paralyzed, social order is disturbed, The normal performance of administration and justice It's an impossible situation. People, So far, the people, too. I'm sure you know a lot. But, I'm going to call emergency martial law, Until you make a stern decision, I haven't been able to reveal it myself. There are a lot more serious things. In the second half of last year, including the National Election Commission. about constitutional and government agencies, There was a hacking attack by North Korea. The National Intelligence Service found it. information leakage and computer system safety I wanted to check it. All the other institutions, under their own observation, I agree with the NIS to check. System inspection has been carried out. But the Election Commission It's a constitutional institution. I stubbornly refused. Then the NEC denied large-scale recruitment. When the incident broke out and I was audited and investigated. I'm going to get an NIS inspection. I took a step back. But the whole system equipment Only a small part of the inspection was conducted, The rest refused. I only checked some of the system equipment. The situation was serious. When an NIS employee tried to hack as a hacker, You could manipulate the data as much as you wanted. There's virtually no firewall, It was the same. The password is very simple. It was like 12345. System security management companies were also very small companies that lacked expertise. As president at the time, I I was shocked to receive a report from the National Intelligence Service. to manage elections, which are at the heart of democracy, The computer system is so shameless, How can the people get the election results? Can you trust it? The National Election Commission also conducted a security inspection process by the National Intelligence Service. I was in and watched, They manipulated the data themselves. I just repeated the excuse that I didn't have it. The National Election Commission is a constitutional institution, Judicial officials are members. Search and seizure by warrant or forced investigation; It's virtually impossible. If you don't cooperate on your own, It is impossible to find out the truth. Even before the general election in April 24, I called for improvement in the problematic areas, We don't know if it's improved properly. So I told the Secretary of Defense this time, Check the NEC's computer system. I ordered it. Recently, the opposition Democratic Party to investigate and thank their corruption, Chief prosecutor and prosecutors of the Seoul Central District Prosecutors' Office, The head of the Board of Audit and Inspection, a constitutional institution, When you say you're going to impeach him, I'm no longer going to I decided I couldn't just watch. I thought I should do something. They're going to be able to get into the judiciary It was clear that he would bring the sword of impeachment. I came to think of the invocation of emergency martial law. The big opposition party abused its constitutional powers, We've been repeating unconstitutional measures, I think that within the framework of the Constitution, I decided to exercise the president's authority. The current paralysis of state affairs. due to social disturbance into a state of collapse of the state function of administrative justice Judging and invoking martial law, The purpose is to tell the people to announce the anti-national defeat of the big opposition party. was to warn them to stop this. In this way, the constitutional order of liberal democracy to prevent collapse, We wanted to normalize the national function. In fact, after the lifting of martial law on December 4, The Democratic Party of Korea said it would put the impeachment bill on hold against the head of the Board of Audit and Inspection and the head of the Seoul Central District Prosecutors' Office. a short message of martial law I thought it worked to some extent. But he said he'd put it on hold in two days. I just prosecuted impeachment. to eliminate the cause of emergency martial law It meant it. In the first place, I told the Secretary of Defense, Unlike martial law in the past, In the form of martial law, Let the public know the current crisis. He said he would take emergency measures to appeal. So the necessary thing to maintain order with only a small number of troops, Don't be the head of the working group. If the National Assembly decides to lift martial law, They said they would withdraw their troops right away. In fact, when the National Assembly decided to lift martial law, The defense minister at the Defense Ministry building. Let him come to my office. I ordered the immediate withdrawal of troops. I've been appointed as president. This emergency measure is based on the constitutional order of the Republic of Korea I'm not trying to destroy the national constitution, Let the people know the crisis of exile. to keep the constitutional order and the national constitution, It's to recover. The reason why the small but small force was sent to the National Assembly symbolically announced the catastrophic behavior of the large opposition party, with a National Assembly official who watched the martial law declaration broadcast, In case a large number of citizens flock, to maintain order, to dissolve the National Assembly, I'm not trying to paralyze the function. It’s self-evident. With less than 300 unworked troops, That vast space of the National Assembly. It's something you can't take control of for a considerable period of time. If you want to do the same martial law as in the past, We need tens of thousands of troops, It requires extensive prior discussion and preparation, I ordered martial law to the Minister of National Defense. After informing the public through a discourse broadcast, I ordered the troops to move. So I had a 10:30 discourse broadcast. At 11:30, the troop deployment was also... It took place a little after 12 o'clock, A little after 1 o'clock, when the National Assembly decided to lift martial law, he immediately ordered the withdrawal of troops. In the end, the time when the troops were deployed It's only about an hour or two. If you tried to paralyze the function of the National Assembly, On weekends, not weekdays. martial law would have been invoked. Power outages and water outages for the National Assembly building They would have been drunk, and they would have restricted broadcasting. But I didn't do any of that. It was deliberated normally in the National Assembly, Through the broadcast, the whole nation I watched the situation in the National Assembly. to restore and protect the constitutional order of liberal democracy to appeal to the people about the catastrophic situation We took inevitable emergency measures, To prevent casualties. We made every effort to prevent safety accidents. Only elite troops above noncommissioned officers, not enlisted soldiers. I made them move. As I prepared for this emergency martial law, I only discussed it with the Minister of Defense, To the President's Office and some members of the Cabinet. It was announced at the Cabinet meeting just before the declaration. concerned from the point of view of their respective duties There were also many objections. I think from the president's point of view of the overall state affairs. Under the current circumstances, such measures are inevitable. I explained. All the military officials. After the president announced emergency martial law. As I followed the troop movement order, They are completely innocent. And let me be clear, I'm going to let a National Assembly official enter the National Assembly. I didn't want to stop it, So lawmakers and a huge crowd I went into the National Assembly yard, the main building, and the main hall. Deliberation on the agenda to lift martial law was also carried out. But somehow, he makes a rebellion. To bring the president down. It is creating a lot of false incitements. Is there a two-hour civil war? to maintain order, Are you saying that the brief input is a riot? The big opposition party, with false incitement, Why are we rushing to impeach? There is only one. As the conviction of the leader of the big opposition party was imminent, through the impeachment of the president, It's about an early presidential election. Even if you break down the national system, Cover your crimes. It's trying to take control of state affairs. Isn't this an act of disorderly national constitution? Whether you impeach me or investigate me. I will stand up to this proudly. I think about the declaration of martial law legal and political responsibility issues I won't avoid it. I've already told you. I've been in office since I took office. Even for a single moment, personal popularity. President's term, presidency. I’ve never dwelling on it. If you had any idea of preserving your seat, the disorderly forces of the national constitution I didn't have to fight back. Declaring emergency martial law like this It wouldn't have been even more. He's just working on keeping his five-year term. I couldn't turn a blind eye to the nation and the people. The will of the people who elected me. I couldn't throw it away. Every day, with the power of the majority. He's been violent in legislation. only focused on bulletproof Against the parliamentary dictatorship of the big opposition, the liberal democracy and constitutional order of the Republic of Korea I was going to protect it. I got off because I thought that was the only way. The president's constitutional decision and governing act How can it be a civil war? The president's exercise of the right to declare emergency martial law like the exercise of pardon, the exercise of diplomatic power, not subject to judicial review It's an act of governance. People, Now the opposition is driving me as a felon, Right now, in the presidency. I'm trying to pull it down. If the disastrous forces of the national constitution If you rule this country, What would happen? unconstitutional law, self-indulgence law, Economic collapse laws passed the National Assembly indiscriminately. It will completely destroy this country. nuclear power industry, semiconductor industry, Future growth engines will die out, Chinese solar facilities It will destroy forests across the country. the basis of our security and our economy, Korea-U.S. Alliance, Korea-U.S.-Japan Cooperation It's going to collapse again. North Korea has advanced its nuclear weapons and missiles. It will threaten our lives more seriously. So the future of this country, the Republic of Korea, What will happen? The spy is active, Drugs destroy future generations, The gang is installed, Wouldn't it be such a country? So far, it has led to paralysis of state affairs and disorder of national constitution. forces and groups of criminals take control of state affairs, As much as it threatens the future of the Republic of Korea. Whatever happens, we have to stop it. I'll fight to the end. People, In a catastrophic emergency in the midst of a state affairs preparation. To protect the country, to normalize state affairs, exercised by the legal authority of the President Emergency martial law measures, It's the president's high political judgment, Only by the National Assembly's request for lifting. It's something you can control. This is what the judiciary's precedents It's the majority opinion of constitutional academia. Many of you know. I'm asking the National Assembly to lift it. We accepted it immediately. Regarding the requirements for martial law. Even those who have different ideas. Yes, but... Emergency measures to save the country. to see it as an act of civil war to ruin the country, several constitutional scholars and lawyers As pointed out, our constitution and our legal system It puts you in serious danger. I would like to ask. Now, I'm dancing a frenzied sword here and there. People say that until the country gets to this state, Where and what did you do? The situation in Korea is at stake. The idea that we're in crisis. You mean you didn't do it at all? I ask the public officials to do so. In the face of severe security and the global economic crisis, to protect the safety of the people and the people's livelihoods Please sell out without wavering. People, The past two and a half years, I only look at the people, to protect and rebuild liberal democracy, Injustice, injustice, violence under the guise of democracy. I fought back. Korea, which has been protected by blood and sweat, On the way to protect our liberal democracy. I hope you all become one. I sincerely appeal. I'll do it until the last minute. I will fight with the people. It's a short time, but with this martial law. To the people who must have been surprised and anxious. Once again, I apologize. About the people. Please believe my passion. Thank you.
