South Korea enforces Martial Law.

 

Opposition parties submit motion to impeach Yoon after his shock bid to put South Korea under martial law for first time in over four decades

South Korean opposition parties said they had submitted a motion to impeach the president, Yoon Suk Yeol, over his short-lived declaration of martial law.

“We’ve submitted an impeachment motion prepared urgently,” representatives for six opposition parties including the main Democratic party said on Wednesday, adding they would discuss when to put it to a vote, but it could come as soon as Friday.

Earlier on Wednesday, Yoon faced calls to quit immediately or face impeachment after an attempt to bring in martial law triggered protests and political condemnation. The liberal opposition Democratic party, which holds a majority in the 300-seat parliament, said its lawmakers had decided to call on Yoon to stand down straight away or they would take steps to impeach him.
