The South Korean parliament has expressed its support for the impeachment of the country's president Yun Seok-yeol, RIA Novosti reports.
204 deputies voted in favor of dismissing the head of the country, 85 spoke against. The representatives of the opposition parties, who accuse the country's president of forcibly seizing power and exceeding his official powers, took a corresponding initiative. On December 4, President Yun Seok Yeol declared martial law in South Korea without necessary grounds and in violation of the law.
It is noted that during that time, the military and the police tried to arrest the members of the parliament, seized the Central Election Commission, seized the mobile phones of the officials and blocked the pages of the opposition activists on social networks.
After the confirmation of the impeachment, the parliament temporarily suspended Yun Seok Yeol's powers. The issue of his dismissal will be discussed by the Constitutional Court. The process will last 180 days. Until the publication of the final decision of the CC, the acting president of South Korea will be Prime Minister Han Deok-soo.
