South Korean opposition files motion to impeach president after martial law debacle
ai generated text
South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol declared martial law in an attempt to quell what he called "anti-state" forces, but was forced to rescind it after the National Assembly overruled him. The opposition parties promptly submitted a motion to impeach Yoon, citing the constitutional violation as the reason. The motion is set to be put to a vote as early as Friday. Yoon's senior advisers and secretaries offered to resign collectively and cabinet members are facing calls to step down.
In order to ease concerns about our economic situation, we will closely communicate with international credit rating agencies, major countries such as the US, domestic economic organisations and financial markets, and share the situation.
As announced together with the government, it has been decided to temporarily supply sufficient liquidity until the financial and foreign exchange markets stabilise.
We will inject unlimited liquidity into stocks, bonds, the short-term money market as well as the forex market until they are fully normalized.
Even if martial law has been revoked, he cannot get rid of the treason charges. It has been clearly shown to the whole nation that President Yoon cannot lead the country normally.
Democratic Party lawmakers, including me and many others, will protect our country's democracy and future and public safety, lives and properties, with our own lives.
We will protect democracy together with the people.
We can no longer allow democracy to collapse. The lives and safety of the people must be protected.
Our relationship with South Korea is key, our relationship with South Korea is ironclad.
We are following events in South Korea, we are interested in how the situation may develop further.
It came as a surprise. I was awakened by the news shortly after the president's announcement … we watched it like everyone else unfold.
