Yoon Faces Impeachment Amid Martial Law Fallout

News summary

South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol faces a political crisis following his brief declaration of martial law, which was met with widespread protests and condemnation, including from his own People Power Party (PPP). Opposition parties have moved to impeach Yoon, citing his unconstitutional actions and the chaos they caused. The impeachment motion is set to be voted on by South Korea's National Assembly, where the opposition holds a majority but requires some defections from the PPP to pass. Yoon's defense minister resigned amid the fallout, and Yoon appointed a new minister. PPP leader Han Dong-hoon has expressed opposition to the impeachment, arguing it would cause further instability, despite not defending Yoon's actions. The crisis highlights the challenges confronting democracies globally, as seen in other nations facing political turmoil.
