South Korea's President Yoon Faces Impeachment as Ruling Party Backs Vote Over Martial Law
Dec 13, 2024, 01:53 AM
South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol faces an impeachment push from opposition parties after his short-lived declaration of martial law, which critics say had no constitutional grounds. Opposition leader Lee Jae-myung called for impeaching Yoon as the 'fastest way' to end the crisis. Clashes erupted between police and pro-impeachment protesters near Yoon's home following his refusal to resign. Yoon defended his actions as an act of governance and vowed to 'fight to the end'. His approval rating has fallen to its lowest level since taking office. The National Assembly is set to vote on the impeachment motion on Saturday, with the ruling party leader urging members to support the motion. Death threats have been reported against MPs over the impeachment vote. Authorities have seized the mobile phone of the former defense minister as part of an investigation into the martial law declaration.
