State crisis in South Korea: Prohibition of departure for President Yoon!

In South Korea, a dramatic government crisis is underway that has escalated after the Ministry of Justice has imposed a ban on departure against President Yoon Suk-Yeol. According to Tagesanzeiger reported. His former Defense Minister Kim Yong Hyun was also custody, and the main opposition party has filed a complaint. This situation exacerbates the uncertainty about the political future of Yon Suk-Yeols, which was able to ward off an application for the opposition in parliament last week after the majority of his parliamentary supporters boycotted the voting process.

The Ministry of Justice justifies the exit lock with the risk that Yoon could flee abroad in the event of an investigation. The political situation remains tense because the opposition describes the president's actions as unconstitutional and speaks of an "illegal coup" since the proclamation of war law. More details about the ongoing investigations and their possible consequences for the government of Suk-Yeols are expected in the coming days.
