South Korea's largest opposition party: If Yoon Suk-yeol does not resign immediately, impeachment proceedings will be initiated

ChainCatcher news, according to Yonhap News Agency, after South Korean President Yoon Suk-yeol announced the implementation of martial law and lifted the order more than six hours later, the largest opposition party, the Democratic Party, urged Yoon Suk-yeol to resign immediately, stating that if he does not resign right away, they will initiate impeachment proceedings.

On the same day, the Democratic Party issued a resolution containing the above content after convening an emergency parliamentary meeting. The resolution stated: "Yoon Suk-yeol's announcement of the implementation of emergency martial law is a clear violation of the constitution, and he did not comply with any of the necessary conditions for announcing (martial law). The announcement of emergency martial law itself is invalid and constitutes a serious constitutional violation, which is a serious act of internal turmoil and a perfect reason for impeachment."

The Democratic Party stated, "If Yoon Suk-yeol does not resign immediately, we will represent the will of the people and immediately enter the impeachment process."
