The attempted coup in South Korea started with a 'forbidden' Dior bag given to the president's wife

Last Tuesday, South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol had declared in Seoul an "emergency martial law," after accusing the opposition of sympathizing with North Korea and paralyzing the government. However, after an extraordinary meeting of government authorities, the country's parliament voted in favour of lifting that measure, thus forcing it to be revoked. In the midst of this crisis that the country is suffering, not only does the name of South…

Sin embargo, tras una reunión extraordinaria de las autoridades gubernamentales, el Parlamento del país votaba a favor de levantar dicha medida, obligando así a ser revocada. En medio de esta crisis que está sufriendo el país, no solo resuen…

He has been in charge of South Korea for two and a half years, but he has never been able to fully manage it. Due to constant conflicts with the parliament, he achieved almost nothing. On Tuesday, he tried to change that in an extreme move, using the military. It didn't work.

V čele Jižní Koreje stojí dva a půl roku, ale nikdy ji nemohl úplně řídit. Kvůli neustálým konfliktům s parlamentem takřka nic neprosadil. V úterý se to pokusil změnit extrémním krokem a využil armádu. Nepovedlo se.

A Dior handbag and endless conflicts. Why the president resorted to martial law

Christian Dior’s cheapest bag (and it’s a fabric backpack) costs 2,400 euros in Spain; the most expensive one goes to 7,600. That’s 11,282 won. Won is the currency of South Korea. Kim Keon Lee lives in that Asian country and is a lucky woman: she has a Dior bag and it came out for free (it cost $2,200 and they gave it to her). The problem is that Kim is the wife of President Yoon Suk-yeol. Tags: bag, luxury, Korea, South» original news (www.20mi…

Few could have imagined that the political future of a president would depend on a gift in appearance as innocent as a Dior bag – which ahead of us, at least in South Korea qualifies as a bribe –; it would be easier to think perhaps of wads of bills and leagues or yellow envelopes full of money, however, this is what has recently happened in that country. Among martial law, the exit of the army and protests in the streets, everything has happene…

Pocos podrían haber imaginado que el futuro político de un presidente dependería de un regalo en apariencia tan inocente como un bolso Dior –que adelantándonos, por lo menos en Corea del Sur califica como un soborno–; más fácil sería pensar quizás en fajos de billetes y ligas o sobres amarillos llenos de dinero, sin embargo, esto es lo que recientemente ha ocurrido en dicho país. Entre una ley marcial, la salida del ejército y protestas en las c…
