Residents of South Korea took to the streets throughout the country demanding to remove the country’s president Yun Sok Yolya.
According to Yonhap news agency, the protests continue throughout the country on the eve of voting in the National Assembly (Parliament) of South Korea at the suggestion of impeachment of the president.
According to police, about 85 thousand people gathered at the building of the National Assembly. Residents of South Korea require the resignation of Yun Sok Yolya and in other parts of the country.
On Saturday, December 14, the opposition parties of South Korea about impeachment to the president in connection with its short -term announcement of martial law in the country will be made to vote in parliament.
To make a decision on the impeachment of the President, it is necessary to gain 200 votes of deputies, which is 2/3 of the total number of members of the parliament. The opposition bloc with 192 out of 300 seats in the National Assembly, to ensure the majority, needs to support at least 8 deputies from the ruling party “Civil Power”.
At the moment, seven deputies from the Civil Power party have announced their support for this initiative. If this proposal is supported by another deputy from the ruling party, the decision may be made.
Introduction of martial law in South Korea
President Yun Sok Yol announced martial law on December 3, referring to the participation of the opposition in “anti -state activities”.
After that, the Ministry of Defense sent instructions on the meetings to the military commanders and called for being in a state of increased readiness. Military personnel who were instructed to ensure the implementation of martial law entered the building of the National Assembly.
At an emergency meeting of the Parliament, the proposal to cancel martial law was supported by 190 deputies. Representatives of the administration of the National Assembly said that after the vote, martial law became “invalid”.
After voting in parliament, the president changed his decision, gathered a meeting of the Cabinet of Ministers and officially announced the abolition of martial law after receiving the approval of the cabinet.
Later, the President of South Korea was banned from traveling outside the country due to the investigation in the case of “Gosizmen”.
