“SECOND COUP”
Yoon just made it through a parliament prosecution attempt on Saturday as tens of thousands braved chilling temperatures to demand his resignation.
With several thousand people gathered outside the Seoul parliament on Monday for additional lighting rallies across the nation.
The motion failed after members of Yoon’s own People Power Party ( PPP ) walked out of parliament, depriving it of the necessary two-thirds majority.
According to the PPP, Yoon, 63, agreed to give strength to the party chief and prime minister, provoking the opposition’s accusations of a” next coup.”
A new prosecution movement, which the opposition wants to present to lawmakers on Saturday, may be immediately announced by the PPP, according to local media reports on Tuesday.
The group’s task force apparently considered whether Yoon should move down in March with a vote in May or to run for office in February with an April poll.
