They said, "Democracy, which was won through the blood and sweat of the people, was destroyed overnight by Yoon Seok-yeol's anachronistic and unconstitutional and illegal declaration of martial law," and emphasized, "To restore trampled democracy, the Jeonnam Provincial Council will take the lead on the front lines in pushing for the resignation of the Yoon Seok-yeol administration."

They continued, "This declaration of martial law is a clear act of rebellion in which the president, the guardian of the constitution, has extensively and seriously violated the constitution and laws," and argued, "Yoon Seok-yeol, who orchestrated this, must resign immediately, and the People Power Party, which abetted him, must be disbanded."

The council members participating in this hunger strike include 56 from the Democratic Party, 2 from the Progressive Party, and 1 from the Justice Party, totaling 59 members.
