The group boycotted the final vote, preventing a consensus. To indict Yoon, at least 200 votes are required. Since opposition parties have 192 chairs, they must have at least eight PPP people in order to meet.
At least seven members of the party were expected to support a new senate motion as of Thursday.
One PPP senator who declared he had now vote to remove Yoon said the government’s fresh statements may have sparked some unease but created more confusion and division among conservatives.
His discourse had an effect on the floor leader’s choice, the source said. Furthermore, it sounds like he urged those who blindly follow the leader among liberals to take action”, PPP senator Kim Sang-wook told investigators.
Kim claimed that the conversation squelched his last desires that Yoon would step down in a “decent” manner because he felt discouraged and betrayed.
PUBLIC SUPPORT FOR IMPEACHMENT
According to opinion surveys, the majority of South Koreans help Yoon’s impeachment. A study released by researcher Realmeter on Dec 5 found 73.6 per share of respondents supported prosecution, including 50.4 per share of those who identified themselves as liberals.
Yoon’s talk lit up liberal democratic communities online, with the top-ranked content titled” Martial law was the most affordable decision”, and” Han made a bad decision”.
After Yoon’s talk, scuffles could be seen between a pro-conservative protest attendee and an opposition admirer who removed a symbol of support for Yoon’s declaration of martial law.
Kim Tae-hyun, who attended the protest, said he thought Yoon did a” great work” with his talk and had the right to declare martial law.
” And the prosecution only don’t happen… So ( the martial law declaration ) was merely an expression of the authority of the president”, said Kim. ” The Democrat Party, which is now holding the land again, is the true problem”.
