South Korea’s rulin party calls to suspend president

South Korea’s ruling party leader Han Dong-hoon demands the suspension of President Yoon Suk-yeol due to the emergency martial law he declared in the country. Unconfirmed reports by Han suggest Yoon ordered the arrest of key politicians during the martial law, allegedly citing them as ‘enemies of the state.’ The potential stance of the ruling party toward impeachment may be shifting following new credible evidence. Han fears repeat of extreme actions like the military decree if Yoon remains in power, stating that suspending the president is vital for the nation’s protection. The opposition, holding a parliamentary majority, has tabled an impeachment motion and requires support from eight members of Yoon’s party to secure the needed two-thirds majority for impeachment proceedings. The vote is scheduled for Saturday at 11 am Danish time. A prior bid to impose emergency rule was blocked by parliament, leading Yoon to retract the declaration amid already low approval ratings and scandals.
