If the initiative receives the required number of votes, the issue will be referred to the Constitutional Court.

Six opposition parties in South Korea have submitted a motion to parliament to impeach President Yoon Seok-yol. Yonhap wrote this on Wednesday, December 4.

Voting must take place within 24-72 hours after consideration of the plenary meeting. The proposal to impeach the president was supported by 191 deputies.

There are 300 seats in the National Assembly (Parliament of South Korea – ed.), 108 of which are controlled by the presidential party Civil Power. Impeachment requires a two-thirds vote of lawmakers.

If the initiative receives the required number of votes, the issue will be referred to the Constitutional Court. Six of the nine judges must support Yoon Seok Yeol’s removal from power. While the case is being considered by the Constitutional Court, the president’s powers will be suspended. His duties will be performed by the Prime Minister.

Let us remind you that on December 3, the President of South Korea declared martial law in the country due to the threat of a coup. He named the reason as the opposition, which, according to him, is an “anti-state force” that paralyzes the work of the country. The decision sparked clashes with law enforcement and military officials near the parliament building.

South Korea’s parliament has voted to end martial law. The opposition called on Yoon Seok Yeol to resign.
