December 4, 2024: Niklas Swanström, ISDP’s Executive Director, was interviewed by Yle about South Korea getting high marks for its handling of the ‘coup attempt’.
“You can look at this a little bit like the glass is half full or half empty, and I think I prefer to look at it as half full. The South Korean population reacted very strongly and came out on the streets. Parliament, including the President’s own party, reacted very strongly and voted to end the state of emergency. I would say that the society at large reacted very democratically and in the right way,” said Niklas Swanström.
