A second impeachment motion against South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol was submitted to parliament today, following the failure of the first attempt on December 7.
The initial motion was blocked after most members of Yoon's ruling People Power Party (PPP) chose to boycott the vote, leaving opposition lawmakers without enough support to oust the president. Despite this setback, the situation has shifted in recent days, with at least seven PPP lawmakers now publicly supporting the impeachment effort.
On Thursday, President Yoon addressed the growing political turmoil, defending his brief declaration of martial law from earlier in the week. Yoon explained that the move was necessary to protect the country’s democracy, emphasizing that it was made in the face of what he described as growing political unrest. He also vowed to fight back against attempts to impeach him, signaling his resolve to remain in office despite the mounting political pressure.
In response, opposition parties, which control the National Assembly, are pushing ahead with their plans to hold a second vote on Saturday. This time, the opposition will need support from at least eight members of Yoon's People Power Party (PPP) to reach the two-thirds majority required to pass the impeachment motion.
The situation has placed South Korea's political landscape in a state of uncertainty, with the outcome of Saturday’s vote set to have major implications for President Yoon’s presidency.
