South Korea’s Ruling Party Backs Impeachment as President Defies Calls to Resign
Following President Yoon Suk Yeol’s controversial declaration of martial law, his own party, the People Power Party (PPP), has reversed its initial stance and now supports impeachment proceedings. This decision, made after failed attempts to persuade the President to resign, significantly increases the likelihood of a successful impeachment vote, potentially as early as Saturday. The impeachment motion, driven by widespread public anger and accusations of treason, alleges that Yoon abused his power and committed insurrection. The president, however, maintains his actions were necessary to address a political stalemate and has vowed to fight the impeachment.
