South Korea’s Constitutional Court Orders President Yoon Suk Yeol to Removal from Office
South Korea’s Constitutional Court officially maintained President Yoon Suk Yeol’s impeachment after announcing martial law at the end of last year.
The move will spark new elections and deepen the political divide in the region’s more vibrant democracies. South Korea must hold elections within two months.
After deliberations since January, the court issued a unanimous ruling in a national broadcast event that saw many ordinary Koreans stop and hear judgments on the fate of the meta-political destiny.
The judge said the Yuan violated the basic rights of the people by declaring martial law.
“You are witnessing the miracle of Korean democracy in South Korea,” Siheung Mayor Lim Byung-Taek told a group of journalists visiting the West Coast city that as part of the World News Conference, Siheung Mayor Lim Byung-Taek said in a group of journalists visiting the West Coast city.
The staunch conservative Yoon was impeached by the country’s National Assembly in December, controlled by the liberal opposition.
After the martial law was declared on December 3, he ordered the deployment of hundreds of troops and police to attend the conference.
Yoon said the decision was intended to maintain order, but then some military and civilians testified that the president ordered them to drag out legislators to thwart their statute votes and detain his political opponents.
South Korean investigators left the official residence of the Imp after nearly six hours of standoff on Friday, during which he violated their attempt to detain him. Jeremy Chan, senior analyst at Eurasia China and Northeast Asia, said he was “deeply concerned” about the democratic situation in South Korea.
In his defense, Yoon claimed that he did not intend to comply with the country for a long time and he wanted to emphasize what he called the “evil” of the Democratic Party, which hindered his agenda.
The Brutal Act triggered a huge political crisis and massive street protests involving millions of people. The demonstrations were ruled in a smaller form, involving his opponents and supporters.
On Friday, police mobilized overwhelming presence to prevent conflict and possible acts of vandalism, arson and attacks.
After the ruling, there were affinity anti-invasion demonstrations on the streets of Seoul, but no violence occurred.
Deleting Yoon from the office requires support from six of the eight judges in the court. Finally, this is a unanimous ruling.
The Korean Journalists Association welcomed the Constitutional Court’s impeachment judgment in a statement.
The organization representing journalists in the country said: “Yoon Seok-Yeol’s Declaration 12.3 Illegal martial law is an anti-democratic and anti-social violence that violates the Constitution.”
“This sentence should be the starting point for stopping extreme political conflicts and preventing the division of state affairs.”
Yoon has developed closer ties with Western countries, including Canada.
About two years ago, Canada and South Korea signed a strategic partnership that held a high-level dialogue on many issues, including defense and security.
