South Korea's opposition parties have introduced a bill to impeach President Yoon Suk Yeol to Parliament. It could be approved in the coming days, according to Reuters .

According to the agency, six South Korean opposition parties have submitted a bill to impeach the President, who has already faced accusations of harsh leadership from both his opponents and within his own party.

The vote is scheduled for November 6-7. If the opposition’s initiative receives the necessary votes, the issue will be referred to the Constitutional Court.

On December 3, South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol declared martial law in the country. The reasons for this were not related to a military threat but rather the internal political situation. This sparked a strong reaction both within South Korea and internationally.

Later, the South Korean government approved the lifting of martial law, and the President halted the special regime in the country. In total, martial law in South Korea lasted for about six hours.

South Korea's opposition issued a harsh ultimatum to the President, demanding his resignation.

For more details on why martial law was declared in South Korea and its consequences, see the material by RBC-Ukraine.

Does anyone even know why he imposed Martial Law?

So far he's been refusing to take any responsibility at all. In fact he even mentioned that this martial laws was a prank call to stunt opposition party during private meeting with his party members.

Then the issue is... opposition party is short to 8 MPs to pass the impeachment so someone in ruling party will have to join them. The ruling party did NOT even show up to this initiation of motion to impeach at all (yes not even single one of the MFG showed up even including that 18 MPs who joined to lift the martial laws last night)

If they dont secure 200 MPs out of 300 MPs, the motion to impeach will be rejected.

Then the another issue is opposition party wont stop here but will introduce the motion to impeach UNTIL AFTER it's passed because it's already in bad faith. How do you guarantee that this president wont make another prank call, or worse they engage with N. Korean commies only to invoke the real martial laws?

So it's do or die at deadlock.
