The parliamentary session to vote on the motion that seeks to dismiss the South Korean President Yoon Suk-yeol It started this Saturday with enormous expectations regarding the possibility that it will prosper if enough deputies from his own party support disqualifying him for his decision to decree martial law on December 3.
The ruling and conservative People’s Power Party (PPP) held a closed-door meeting for hours to try to clarify the party’s official position and the meeting concluded minutes before the party’s parliamentarians entered the chamber to begin vote.
So that the initiative presented by the opposition prospers eight votes from Yoon’s PPP parliamentarians are neededand so far seven deputies have publicly expressed their support for the motion, which suggests that there is a good chance that it will succeed.
If so, Yoon would be disabled immediately -and the prime minister, Han Duck-soo, would temporarily occupy the head of State and Government – waiting for the Constitutional Court to determine whether or not the president violated the Magna Carta when he declared martial law ten days ago.
