South Korea’s Parliament has voted to question President Yoon Suk-yeol following his controversial declaration of martial regulation on December 3.
The impeachment movement, supported by 204 lawmakers, successfully suspends Yoon from his presidential duties, pending a remaining resolution from the Constitutional Courtroom on whether or not to completely take away him from workplace.
Till the courtroom reaches a verdict, Prime Minister Han Duck-soo, appointed by Yoon, will function the appearing president, making certain continuity in governance.
This impeachment marks a crucial second in South Korea’s political panorama, elevating questions concerning the declaration of martial regulation and its implications for democracy within the nation. The subsequent steps will depend upon the courtroom’s ruling within the coming weeks.
