South Korea's ruling party chief has called for the removal of President Yoon Suk Yeol from office due to his controversial attempt to impose martial law. Han Dong-hoon, the leader of the People Power Party, expressed concern over the potential for further attempts to undermine civilian rule, citing a 'significant risk' for the country and its citizens.
Caption: South Korea 's ruling party chief demanded Friday that President Yoon Suk Yeol be removed from office after his abortive attempt to impose martial law, warning there was a"significant risk" he could try to subvert civilian rule again.
If Yoon remains,"there is a significant risk that extreme actions similar to the martial law declaration could be repeated, which could put the Republic of Korea and its citizens in great danger," Han said in televised comments. Opposition lawmaker Jo Seung-lae said that security camera footage indicated that soldiers were attempting to arrest opposition leader Lee Jae-myung, National Assembly Speaker Woo Won-shik, and PPP chief Han.The opposition had already put forward a motion to impeach Yoon that will be voted on Saturday at around 7:00 pm , but it had been unclear if this would pass.
"While there may still be a few ruling party members supporting Yoon Suk Yeol, it seems that Han's statements today are significantly influenced by the gravity of the situation, particularly the mobilisation of intelligence agencies to arrest politicians," Shin Yul, professor of political science at Myongji University, told AFP.
Yoon, who has lurched from crisis to crisis since taking office in 2022, has not been seen in public since his televised address in the early hours of Wednesday. It was the first such declaration in more than four decades in South Korea and brought back painful memories of its autocratic past.
