SEOUL, South Korea — South Korea’s ruling party chief said Friday that it’s necessary to suspend the constitutional powers of President Yoon Suk Yeol.
The main opposition Democratic Party and other small opposition parties submitted a joint motion to impeach Yoon on Wednesday over his martial law declaration the previous night. Martial law lasted about six hours, as the National Assembly quickly voted to overrule the president, forcing his Cabinet to lift it before daybreak Wednesday.
Han said it was crucial that Yoon’s presidential duties are suspended swiftly, saying that the president poses a “significant risk of extreme actions, like reattempting to impose martial law, which could potentially put the Republic of Korea and its citizens in great danger.”
