In a bold move that’s shaking up South Korea’s political landscape, Han Dong-hoon, the leader of the ruling People Power Party, called for the impeachment of President Yoon Suk-yeol on Thursday. 🗳️💥
Han stated that impeaching Yoon is the only way to address the chaos sparked by the president’s controversial declaration of martial law. This comes right after Yoon delivered a televised address defending his decision, which has sparked nationwide debates.
Speaking to reporters, Han emphasized that Yoon is unwilling to step down and urged that the president should be immediately removed from all state functions, including military command. \"The unconstitutional and illegal declaration of martial law, led by Yoon, must be met with strong punishment,\" Han asserted.
The People Power Party initially hoped President Yoon would resign voluntarily, but efforts to persuade him have stalled. As a result, Party lawmakers are now being called upon to vote for impeachment based on their own convictions. \"We must stop further confusion. There is only one effective method now,\" said Han.
Last week, opposition parties submitted a motion to impeach Yoon, but the People Power Party’s boycott led to its suspension. Undeterred, the opposition plans to submit another impeachment motion soon, aiming for a vote this Saturday.
Stay tuned as this political drama unfolds, promising significant changes in South Korea’s government. 🔍🇰🇷
