Crisis in South Korea as President Yoon Faces Impeachment

^{Published on 2024-12-16 07:00:49 - MSN}

The Constitutional Court begins impeachment proceedings against President Yoon Suk Yeol, accused of declaring martial law and creating political turmoil. Lawmakers voted to impeach Yoon last Saturday after nationwide protests demanded his resignation.

The article discusses a political crisis in South Korea where President Yoon Suk Yeol is facing an impeachment motion initiated by the opposition Democratic Party. This move comes in the wake of a scandal involving the First Lady, Kim Keon Hee, who allegedly accepted a luxury handbag as a gift, which has led to accusations of corruption and abuse of power. The opposition claims that President Yoon has failed to address these allegations adequately, prompting calls for his impeachment. The situation has escalated tensions between the ruling and opposition parties, with significant implications for South Korean politics. The impeachment process requires a two-thirds majority in the National Assembly to proceed, highlighting the contentious and potentially divisive nature of this political maneuver.
