South Korea’s political drama reaches boiling point as ruling People Power Party leader Han Dong-hoon stunned the nation Thursday by urging lawmakers to support President Yoon Suk-yeol’s impeachment. The move follows Yoon’s \"martial law declaration\" that sparked nationwide backlash. 💥
Han accused Yoon of creating \"unconstitutional chaos\" and demanded the president be \"excluded from state administration immediately,\" including military command. This marks a U-turn for the party, which previously hoped Yoon would resign voluntarily.
🔍 The opposition’s first impeachment attempt failed last week when PPP lawmakers boycotted the vote. But with Han now telling colleagues to vote \"based on conviction,\" Saturday’s re-submitted motion could reshape Seoul’s political landscape. Opposition parties need 29 more votes from PPP members to reach the 200-vote threshold for impeachment.
📢 \"We must stop further confusion,\" declared Han, framing impeachment as the \"only effective method\" to resolve the crisis. The president has refused to step down, doubling down on his controversial policies.
