  • South Korean lawmakers are set to vote for a second time Saturday on whether to impeach President Yoon Suk Yeol over his failed attempt to impose martial law.

The article from MSN discusses the impeachment of South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol by the country's parliament. The impeachment stems from Yoon's controversial decision to declare martial law in response to widespread protests against his administration's policies, particularly those related to labor reforms and handling of the economy. Critics argue that this move was an overreach of executive power, undermining democratic processes and freedoms. The declaration of martial law was seen as an attempt to suppress dissent and maintain control amidst growing public unrest. The impeachment process was initiated by opposition parties who gathered enough votes to suspend Yoon from his presidential duties pending a Constitutional Court decision. This event marks a significant political upheaval in South Korea, reflecting deep divisions over governance, civil liberties, and economic policy.
