Tensions high in South Korea as the National Assembly has voted to impeach President Yoon Suk Yeol. The controversy follows his attempt to impose martial law earlier this month, sparking public outrage and political turmoil. Simultaneously, there is another protest in his favor.
Protesters gathered outside South Korea’s National Assembly early today, demanding accountability from President Yoon Suk Yeol.
Inside the compound, lawmakers arrived ahead of the critical impeachment vote, with some speaking out against the president’s actions.
The controversy erupted after President Yoon attempted to impose martial law on December 3, a move he rescinded just six hours later.
However, it has thrown the country into a constitutional crisis. In a speech on Thursday, Yoon defended his actions, calling the decree necessary to overcome political deadlock and safeguard the nation’s democracy. Despite his justifications, critics accuse him of abusing his power and violating the law.
At the same time, today a Pro-Yoon protest has taken place in Seoul to show support for the embattled president.
