South Korean Opposition Demands Yoon's Impeachment

South Korea's opposition Democratic Party has called for President Yoon Suk Yeol to resign or face impeachment following his brief declaration of martial law, which was lifted within hours after parliamentary rejection. The martial law declaration, the first in over 40 years, was deemed unconstitutional by the opposition, which accused Yoon of attempting to suppress dissent and censor media under the guise of protecting against North Korean threats. Lawmakers unanimously voted to rescind the declaration, with some members from Yoon's ruling party also siding against him. The Democratic Party warned that failure to resign would lead to impeachment proceedings, with the potential for a vote within 72 hours. Protests erupted across the country, with unions mobilizing their members to strike until Yoon steps down. Analysts suggest that Yoon's political future hinges on the ongoing backlash and the opposition's determination to pursue impeachment.
