Suspense Crime Sach Ka Dam
SEOUL: South Korean President Yoon Suk-yeol apologized on Saturday for causing public anxiety over his short-lived attempt to impose martial law earlier this week. South Korean lawmakers will vote on Saturday to impeach President Yoon over his attempted imposition of martial law, as protests grow across the country calling for his ouster.
What did President Yun say in his address?
President Yoon Suk-you said in a brief televised address on Saturday morning that he would not shirk legal or political responsibility for attempting to impose martial law and vowed not to make any further attempts to impose it. He said he would leave it to his political party to deal with the political turmoil in the country, “including matters related to my tenure.”
Yoon is surrounded by his party
At present, it is not clear whether the proposal presented by the opposition MPs will get the two-thirds majority required to impeach Yoon, but the leader of Yoon’s party has called him unfit to remain in office, demanding the suspension of his constitutional powers. Leaders of Yoon’s party said that they can take other such steps including trying to impose ‘martial law’ again. After this, the possibility of the impeachment motion getting a majority has increased. To impeach Yoon, the support of 200 out of 300 members of the National Assembly will be required. The opposition parties bringing the impeachment motion have a combined total of 192 seats.
what happened in South Korea
President Yoon Suk-yeol declared emergency martial law on Tuesday, accusing the opposition of dominating parliament, sympathizing with North Korea, and destabilizing the government with anti-state activities. Hours later, parliament voted to nullify the declaration, with National Assembly Speaker Woo Won-shik declaring that lawmakers would “stand together with the people to safeguard democracy.”
