At the same time, there is a serious threat to the authorities, especially after Yoon Seok-yeol imposed a ban on investigating corruption schemes in which he and his wife are involved in 2023, according to political scientist Ihar Tyshkevich on Facebook.
“In 2024, the topic of “impeachment” began to gain momentum. Yoon Seok-yeol’s rating dropped to 24-25%. In October, activists collected more than a million signatures on a petition calling for his resignation. Before that, there was a letter from university professors and representatives of the business elite. Procedure began. But during wartime, this is impossible,” said the expert.
In addition, he considers the question interesting – whose side will the army take, and what position will the US take.
President of South Korea Yoon Seok-yeol – what is knownHe has ruled the country for only two years, from 2022, when he won the elections with a small margin (0.7%). At the same time, the South Korean parliament is controlled by the opposition, which creates special problems for the head of state in the process of promoting his programs.
He does not have the ability to pass his own laws, so he periodically vetoed bills that the opposition wanted to pass. More recently, the opposition has cut budgets that have been proposed by the ruling party and the government, while simultaneously calling for the impeachment of South Korea’s Cabinet members and the president himself. The reason is the “failure to investigate the activities of the first lady”, who is suspected of manipulations with shares.
