The South Korean parliament presented the impeachment motion of the president; Opposition of the ruling party – Mehr News Agency RCO News Agency

According to Mehr news agency, Yonhap news agency announced on Thursday that South Korea’s ruling party has opposed the impeachment of the country’s president, Yoon Suk-yeol, after his short-lived attempt to declare martial law.

In this regard, Yonhap reported: A number of legislators who participated in the party meeting said that they have adopted the position of opposing the impeachment of “Yoon Seok-yul”.

According to Sputnik, South Korea’s parliament, on the other hand, has submitted a proposal to impeach the country’s president.

South Korea’s president yesterday ordered the establishment of emergency martial law, accusing the country’s opposition of “anti-state activities”. Hours later, 190 lawmakers who were able to access the National Assembly building unanimously voted to abolish martial law.

However, South Korea’s military announced that martial law would remain in place until the president orders. Lee Jae-myung, leader of South Korea’s main opposition Democratic Party, called the martial law order “unconstitutional” and called on the military and police to return to their normal activities.

Unrest and chaos erupted in South Korea after the Democratic Party last week rejected the South Korean president’s 2025 budget bill and called for an investigation into several corruption allegations involving Yoon Seok-yul’s wife and some senior government officials.
