In response to South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol’s unsuccessful attempt to impose martial law, North Korea has accused him of attempting to establish a “fascist dictatorship” and compared it to a military coup.
Last week, Yoon made the shocking announcement and charged that supporters of North Korea were attempting to overthrow his government. Since his own party members have so far refused to impeach him, his political future remains unknown.
On Wednesday, Yoon’s “insane act” was described as “akin to the coup d’etat of the decades-ago military dictatorship era” in an article on page six of the North Korean state newspaper Rodong Sinmun.
“He brazenly brandished blades and guns of fascist dictatorship at his own people,” said the piece.
