The ruling People Power party had said it was against impeachment, but that stance may be shifting
South Korea’s ruling party leader has said President Yoon Suk Yeol needs to be removed from authority for the safety of the country for trying to impose martial law, but stopped short of urging members to vote for impeachment.
Yoon shocked the nation and his own ruling People Power Party on Tuesday when he announced he was imposing martial law in order to root out “anti-state forces” and overcome obstructionist political opponents.
