🇰🇷 South Korea is buzzing with shockwaves as Han Dong-hoon, leader of the ruling People Power Party, drops a political bombshell! 💣 At an emergency meeting, Han called for the immediate suspension of President Yoon Suk-yeol's constitutional powers. 😱
This dramatic turn comes after President Yoon's controversial declaration of martial law earlier this week, which has sent ripples through the nation. Han, previously set to oppose the impeachment push by opposition parties, reversed his stance, citing serious concerns over the president's actions.
\\"On the day of the martial law declaration, President Yoon ordered the arrest of major politicians,\\" Han claimed, adding that reliable sources confirmed Yoon used intelligence agencies for this move. 😲
Han warned that if Yoon continues in office, more extreme actions could follow, putting the country and its people in grave danger. 🚨
The main opposition Democratic Party isn't holding back either! They've scheduled an impeachment vote for Saturday evening. Meanwhile, the national police are investigating claims of insurrection filed against Yoon by opposition parties and activists.
A recent poll by Realmeter shows that 73.6% of respondents support impeaching Yoon. 📊 Thousands of protestors have taken to the streets of Seoul, rallying near the parliament and demanding the president step down. ✊
If the impeachment passes, Yoon's powers will be suspended pending a verdict from the Constitutional Court. If upheld, new elections must be held within 60 days. 🗳️
South Korea is at a pivotal moment, and the world is watching closely! 🌍 Stay tuned for more updates on this unfolding story.
