Opposition in South Korea Introduces New Motion to Impeach President

seoul - The opposition in the South Korean parliament has filed a new motion on Saturday to impeach President Yoon Suk-yeol. Yoon declared a state of emergency on December 3, but had to retract it hours later under pressure from the legislature.

The opposition in the South Korean parliament has once again taken steps to impeach President Yoon Suk-yeol. Yoon's declaration of a state of emergency on December 3 was short-lived as he had to retract it under pressure from the legislature. Recent attempts by the opposition to impeach Yoon were unsuccessful due to a lack of quorum caused by Yoon's party lawmakers boycotting the parliamentary session.

Yoon is also facing allegations from the police that he incited riots and attempted a coup. His authority has been undermined, and he has been prohibited from leaving the country. Investigators reportedly conducted a search on Wednesday at the president's office, although Yoon was not present. Police officials involved in the case suggest that Yoon should be arrested despite the absence of a formal warrant, given the seriousness of the allegations. Inciting riots and mutiny can carry the death penalty.
