The domestic situation in South Korea is not optimistic. Several consecutive public accidents have caused South Korean President Yoon Seok-yeol , who has not been in power for a long time, to face a huge political crisis. In the past month, South Korea has experienced two large-scale demonstrations and protests, with the largest number of participants exceeding 200,000.
These protesters held up the signs of Yoon Seok-yeon's resignation and stepped down. At the same time, the opposition Party's Common Democratic Party also took this opportunity to launch a large-scale political offensive against the ruling party. Yoon Seok-yeon has not made any public response, and he was not able to bear it until recently.
Truck driver strike broke out in South Korea, and tens of thousands of people participated in
According to Korean media reports, there were vicious incidents in which tens of thousands of freight truck drivers collectively strike in South Korea. According to statistics released by the South Korean Solidarity Union, a total of 25,000 people participated in the strike, but the South Korean Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport has a different opinion, and they believe that there are only 7,000 strikers in total.
But one thing is certain, the strike of a large number of truck drivers has put a lot of pressure on South Korea's transportation. Some experts even believe that if the government cannot resolve the strike in a short period of time, South Korea's industrial production will also be adversely affected in the future. Originally, the economic situation in South Korea is not optimistic. If the truck driver strike is not done well, it will become the explosion point of the next round of economic crisis, which is a very severe test for the Yoon Seo-young government.
After suffering tremendous pressure from society, the South Korean president could no longer sit still. He claimed that truck drivers took advantage of the country's crisis to make demands that they could not accept at all, so the government would never sit idly by. If the strike continues, the government may intervene through tough measures. According to foreign media reports, Yoon Seo-yeol's statement is likely to mean that he will order these strikers to be forced back to their posts, but such tough measures are likely to have a counterproductive effect.
Forced anti-work order is the first time in South Korean political history
If Yoon Seok-yeol really issues an order requiring the relevant departments to force all strikers to return to their posts, it may cause an uproar in the public opinion circle, because this is the first time in South Korean history. After the founding of the People's Republic of China, several dictatorships and military governments in South Korea did not use similar tough measures to force demonstrators to return to their posts.
So the political impact brought by Yoon Seok-yeol's statement is quite bad. Now South Korea has entered the stage of internal and external troubles. Some analysts even believe that some external forces may have dominated South Korea's domestic crisis.
Some people think that Yoon Seok-yeol will be in a political crisis, which is directly related to his offending the United States. When former U.S. House Speaker Pelosi went to South Korea for a visit, he was neglected by Yoon Seo-yeol, and Yoon Seo-yeol even refused to receive Pelosi, so the United States is saving face through practical means.
