South Korea Opposition Moves to Impeach Yoon

News summary

South Korea is facing a political crisis after President Yoon Suk Yeol's brief attempt to impose martial law was met with overwhelming opposition and a swift reversal. The declaration, which lasted only about six hours, was rescinded following a 190-0 vote in the National Assembly, but not before military troops stormed the parliament, prompting protests and calls for Yoon's impeachment. The main opposition Democratic Party of Korea has filed for impeachment and treason charges against Yoon and his ministers, accusing them of undermining democracy. Yoon defended his actions as necessary to protect the constitutional order, citing threats from opposition parties and North Korea. This incident has created turmoil within Yoon's ruling party, with members expressing internal dissent. The ongoing unrest raises concerns over South Korea's political stability and economic outlook, as the country grapples with significant uncertainty ahead.
