The political crisis is the most serious challenge to the country\u2019s democracy since the 1980s.<\/p>\n<p>The President, who was facing a political crisis and little public support,  sought to impose military rule in what appeared to be a desperate gamble, after accusing his political opponents of being &quot;communists&quot; with  \u201cpro-North Korean sympathies\u201d and engaging in \u201canti-state activities\u201d.   <\/p>\n<p>However the announcement led to mass protests outside parliament and was rejected by the national assembly.
