South Korean Parliament Impeaches President Yoon Over Martial Law Decree

 

In a historic move, South Korea's parliament voted to impeach President Yoon Suk Yeol following his controversial martial law decree on December 3rd. The National Assembly passed the motion with a significant majority, 204-85. This decision came after Yoon's short-lived martial law order, which lasted only six hours before being unanimously overturned by parliament.

The impeachment motion was driven by allegations of rebellion and a violation of the constitution, as Yoon's decree was seen as an attempt to undermine democratic processes. Prime Minister Han Duck-soo will assume presidential duties while the Constitutional Court reviews the impeachment, a process that could take up to 180 days.

The impeachment has sparked widespread public reaction, with jubilant crowds celebrating outside the National Assembly. President Yoon, in a statement, vowed to continue serving the country despite the temporary suspension of his powers.
