Yoon remains in office: Drama escalated in the South Korean parliament!

In South Korea, the political situation around President Yoon Suk Yeol is dramatic: Today there was a crucial vote on the possible increase in office of the President. The opposition party DP required a two -thirds majority to remove the president from the office. On the first day of vote, during a large demonstration with almost 150,000 participants in front of the parliament, the decision was negative. Although the opposition started the initiative, most MPs from the PPP government party left the plenary hall before the vote, which significantly reduced the chance of the success of the application, such as zdf.de reported.

The vote started at 4:00 p.m. local time and reflected another failed attempt to take Yoon because the first attempt was failed a week ago. The screens stated that only a few representatives of the PPP remained in the hall, while the government's opposition members accused of being accomplished. "The votes of 200 out of 300 MPs were necessary, but the PPP only has 108 seats. At least eight members of the government should vote for it," the Parliament President explained the critical condition, such as Kleinezeitung.at explained.

The situation continued to escalate when Yoon called for war law during a previous conflict on the budget dispute. In a television speech, he said: "I will fight for my office until the last minute." The political crisis in South Korea has shown with a survey that only 13 percent of the population is behind Yoon, an alarming value. Direct support of the PPP leads to the conclusion that a mutually acceptable solution to depart from Yoon is considered "inevitable" - a state that party leader Han Dong Hoon said. Despite the failed application for office, Yoon could soon offer resignation and leave it to his party to stabilize the political situation.
