Seoul: Opposition parties in South Korea have announced plans to vote on an impeachment motion against President Yoon Suk Yeol this Saturday, following his unsuccessful attempt to impose martial law. The main opposition Democratic Party, along with five minor opposition parties, submitted the motion on Wednesday, which was introduced in the National Assembly on Thursday. According to Anadolu Agency, Cho Seung-rae, the Democratic Party's deputy spokesperson, stated that the vote is scheduled for Saturday evening to give ruling party lawmakers ample time to consider their stance on President Yoon's actions. For the impeachment motion to pass, it requires a two-thirds majority, which includes support from at least eight lawmakers of the ruling People Power Party. However, the ruling party has expressed its opposition to the impeachment move, a stance solidified during a meeting of its lawmakers who endorsed opposing President Yoon's impeachment. Furthermore, the National Assembly passed impeachment motions aga inst the chief state auditor and three top prosecutors for their involvement in investigations concerning the relocation of the presidential office and First Lady Kim Keon Hee. The impeachment efforts come in the wake of President Yoon's late-night live televised address on Tuesday, where he declared martial law, only to retract it hours later after lawmakers unanimously voted to block the order amidst nationwide protests. In related developments, unionized workers of the Korea Railroad Corporation (KORAIL) have initiated an indefinite general strike starting Thursday, causing disruptions in train services across Seoul and other regions. The strike, which resulted in delays and cancellations on some train and subway lines, follows unsuccessful negotiations between KORAIL and the union on Wednesday.
