Since the President of the Republic of Korea Yoon Seok-youl issued the emergency martial law order on December 3, there has been constant criticism from all walks of life in the Republic of Korea, and calls from all levels of the Republic of Korea for Yoon Seok-youl to step down have become increasingly louder.
On the one hand, the opposition parties took advantage of the majority of the Congress to launch an impeachment offensive against Yoon Seok-youl.
Although the impeachment against Yoon Seok-youl failed to pass the parliamentary vote on December 7, the opposition parties still pursued and fought fiercely, vowing to remove him from power.
On the other hand, Yoon Seok-youl’s ruling party, the National Power Party, has serious internal differences, and is in a dilemma on how and when to step down Yoon Seok-youl.
In recent days, the domestic situation in South Korea has rapidly escalated, and the “Seoul Winter” drama continues to unfold.
Multiple departments have been searched, and the Minister of Defense is planning to commit suicide.
On December 10th, the South Korean National Police Agency announced that it had requested 11 government officials at or above the ministerial level, including Prime Minister Han Deok soo and Director of National Intelligence Cho Tae yong, to be summoned for questioning regarding the martial law case.
On the 11th, the special investigation team under the South Korean National Police Agency detained the National Police Agency Director Zhao Zhihao and Seoul Police Agency Director Kim Bong sik.
On the same day, the South Korean police conducted a seizure and search of the Presidential Palace, National Police Agency, Seoul Metropolitan Police Agency, National Assembly Guard, and Army Special Operations Command.
Among the investigated subjects, former South Korean Defense Minister Kim Yong hyun was the first to bear the brunt.
On the night of the 10th, the South Korean court approved the arrest warrant for Kim Jong hyun.
Jin Longxian became the first high-ranking government official to be arrested since the martial law incident.
Previously, Jin Longxian stated during a police investigation that he was willing to bear all the responsibility for this incident alone.
Just before the court approved the arrest warrant, Jin Longxian attempted suicide in the detention center bathroom by tying his underwear and long underwear into a rope, but was promptly discovered and stopped by the guards.
Jinlong Xian attempted to “sacrifice” himself to exonerate his high school junior Yin Xiyue, but was unsuccessful.
The ruling party is at a loss, while the opposition party is relentlessly pursuing.
The impeachment case of Yoon Seok-youl failed to pass on December 7 because the members of the ruling party withdrew to boycott. Afterwards, the South Korean people pointed their fingers at the ruling National Power Party, criticizing the party for abandoning public opinion for their own selfish interests.
Han Dongxun, the leader of the National Power Party, had to make a speech to reassure the people, acknowledge that Yoon Seok-youl’s issuance of the emergency martial law order has caused great losses to the country and the people, and ensure to the people that the National Power Party will orderly promote the early retirement of the president.
At present, the National Power Party is studying two options for an orderly resignation of Yoon Suk yeol: one is to resign in February next year and hold a general election in April; The second option is to resign in March next year and hold a general election in May.
However, no matter how much Han Dongxun whitewashes, the current focus of the National Power Party is not when Yoon Seok-youl will step down, but how to ensure that the presidency will not be taken away by the opposition parties.
As the opposition party closely pursues, the public’s questioning of Yoon Suk yeol and the National Power Party is growing louder, and some party members are also wavering in order to protect themselves.
On the morning of the 11th, Kim Zaiye sub, a member of the National Power Party, announced through live television that he would no longer abide by the position of the National Power Party against the impeachment of Yoon Seok-youl, and would vote in favor of the next presidential impeachment.
Up to now, five members of the National Power Party have publicly expressed their support for the impeachment of Yoon Seok-youl, which is only three seats short of the 200 affirmative votes required for the impeachment.
It is obvious that Yoon Seok-youl’s “rage against the crown” made the largest opposition party, the Common Democratic Party, quickly occupy the moral and legal highlands and gain a heavy weapon to “defeat Yin”.
On December 7th, during the parliamentary vote, members of the Common Democratic Party called out the names of the ruling party members who had left through live television broadcasts, using public opinion to pressure the ruling party.
On the 10th, the Common Democratic Party pushed for the passage of a resolution in parliament calling for the immediate arrest of 8 people including Yoon Seok yeol, as well as the appointment of a permanent special prosecutor to investigate Yoon Seok yeol and the “Yoon Seok yeol Special Prosecutor Case” of “12/3 Illegal Martial Law”.
On the 11th, Yu Yuanzhi, the Speaker of the National Assembly from the Common Democratic Party, announced that he had issued an emergency martial law order to Yoon Seok-youl to start a national investigation.
With the intensification of the political struggle, Moon Jae-in, the former President of the Republic of Korea, also came out and wrote in the social media that impeachment is the inevitable way out at this stage. The Acting President should be established as soon as possible to ensure that the political situation of the Republic of Korea returns to normal.
Jin Jianxi cannot escape, and Yoon Seok-youl is doomed.
Next, Yoon Seok-youl and his wife will continue to face pressure from the Congress and the prosecution.
On December 12th, the South Korean National Assembly will once again vote on the establishment of a special prosecutor to investigate the “First Lady” through the “Kim Geun hye Prosecutor’s Office”, which was rejected by ruling party members in the previous vote.
However, based on the voting results of the “Yin Xiyue Special Prosecutor’s Office”, the re vote of the “Jin Jianxi Special Prosecutor’s Office” is likely to be passed.
At that time, Yoon Seok-youl and Kim Keng hee will become the first couple to be prosecuted both during their term of office since the democratization of South Korea.
On the afternoon of December 14, the South Korean Congress will also vote on the Yoon Seok-youl impeachment proposal proposed by the opposition parties.
It seems that Yoon Seok-youl is doomed.
