South Korea's President Yoon Faces Impeachment Vote After Martial Law Attempt
Dec 11, 2024, 08:13 PM
South Korea is grappling with a significant political crisis following President Yoon Suk Yeol's brief declaration of martial law on December 3. The situation has escalated with the police attempting to raid Yoon's office as part of an investigation into his decision. The crisis has led to a surge in calls for Yoon's impeachment, with the Democratic Party pushing for his removal from office. Amidst this turmoil, former Defense Minister Kim Yong Hyun, who was detained in connection with the martial law declaration, attempted suicide in prison. The political instability has sparked protests in Seoul demanding Yoon's ouster, and North Korean state media has begun covering the situation, focusing on the protests against Yoon. An impeachment vote is looming, and the police raid on Yoon's office adds to the mounting pressure on the president. The crisis has also drawn international attention, with some observers noting parallels to past authoritarian regimes in the region.
