South Korea’s parliament has voted to block President Yoon Suk Yeol’s move to declare martial law.
President Yoon Suk Yeol now, who declared martial law in South Korea this afternoon said the decision was made to remove pro-North Korea forces from the country and to protect the liberal constitutional order.
Yoon has been a lame duck president since the latest general election when the opposition won a landslide in parliament and was reduced to vetoing desperately any bills that the opposition had been passing.
Yoon is also mired in several scandals, mainly one around his wife, who is accused of corruption and influence peddling.
However both the ruling party and the opposition were unified in their decision to veto the President’s decision.
