Cheers and Boos As Sk President’s Impeachment Upheld by Court

South Korea’s President has been removed from Office after the Constitutional Court Voted Unanimously to Uphold His Impeachment.

YOON suk yeol suspended from duty in December after being Impeached by parliament, following His Failed Attempt to Impose Martial Law.

The Ruling On Friday Was Met With Tears of Joy and Sadness Among Yoon’s Critics and Supporters, Who Had Gathered in Various Parts of Seoul to Watch The Verdict Live.

A snap election to Vote for Yoon’s Replacement Must Be Held 3 June.

After Months of Anxiously Waiting, South Koreans Have Some Badly Needed Closure. The Country Can Now Start to Repair and Move Forward, The First Step Being to Elect to New Leader.

But The Crisis Yoon has unleashed Is Far Over. Although Although His Military Takeover Only Lasted Six Hours, The Political Fallout has only intensified EACH MONTH THAT Has Passed.

The Night of 3 December, When Yoon Ordered Troops To Storm Parliament, Changed Something in South Korea’s Psyche. It Reawakened The Ghosts of the Country’s Violent, dictatorial Past, Showing People That Martial Law Was Not, As Most Had Assumed, Consigned to History.

Many Are Still Upset by What Happened That Night, And Affraid That The Threat Of Martial Law Could Be Brandished Again by Future Zealous Politicians.

Today’s Verdict Therefore Came As A Relief to Most, Who Cheered On The Streets Of The Seoul As the Verdict Was Read Out. It is a Victory for South Korea’s Democracy, That For A While Looked As IF It Was Dangerous Ground.

The Constitutional Court was damning in Iber Criticalism Of Yoon’s Authoritarian Power grab, as all Eight Judges Voted to Remove Office from Him.

In upholding His Impeachment, Moon President Of The Eight-Men Bench, Said Yoon’s Short-Men’s Short-Lived Military Takeover, And That He Had “(Gone) Against The People he was supposed to protect.”

He added that the implementation of Martial Law “Damaged People’s Basic Political Rights” and “Viobled The Principles of The Rule and Democracy”.

Already, There Are To Change South Korea’s Constitution – To Strengthen Its Institutions and Limit The Power of the Power – To Guard Against This Happening Again. However, it will take a participant Patriotic Future President to Sign Off their Own Authority.

As Yoon Leaves Office, He Leaves Leased Not Just a Shaken Country, A Divided One. In The Aftermath of That Shocking December Night, South Koreans were Mostly United in their There Discover and What He Had Attempted to Do.

But yoon showed No Remorse. He dug in, fought His Trial at Every Step, and Continued to Dangle The Same Unsubstantiated Conspiracy Theories That Heeded to Justify His Military Takeover.

He Claimed That The Country and His Political Opposition Had Been Infiltrated by North Korean and Chinese Spies, and That These “Anti-State Forces” Had Rigged Past Elettions.

Gradually more and more people believed Him. Through His Belligerence, Yoon has turned hims to a political Martyr for Many – The Victim of An Establishment That has been by “Communists”.

His Conspiracy Theories Have Firmly Taken Root, And Far-Right Extremism Is Flourishing. Thousands Protest Every Week In The Center of Seoul. They were on the Streets on the Streets, and Will Be Again Saturday, Claiming The Country’s Politicians and Judges Are Corrupt and Elections Are Rigged.

And These Are Not Fringe Views.

More Than a Third Of People now say they do not trust the Constitutional Court While Delivered Yoon’s Verdict; More than a Quarter do Not Trust The Voting System.

Within this Climate of Distrust, South Korea Must Head to The Polls. Yoon’s Successor Needs to Be Chosen in The Next 60 Days. These Days Are Sure to Be Fraught and Even More Divisive. Many May Not to Accept The Result That Comes.

Yet South Korea Urgently Needs a New Leader Who Can Advocate For The Country AS Whole, Having Been Wairout One for Months.

It’s Quickly Needs to Figure Out How To Deal With President Trump, Having Started On The Backfoot. HIS 25% TARIFFS ON CARS AND SEELT SEOUL, AND UTS AILING ECONOMY, AN Early A Blow, But Many Believe Read; That is Only Time Mr Trump Turns His Gaze to the Korean Peninsula, And He Does He Will Try To Force South Korea To Pay More Defense and Cut a Deal with Seoul’s Arch Enemy, Kim Jong Un.

Yoon’s Legal Team has accused the policitising of the court.

“The Whole Proce of This Trial Itself Was Not Lawful And Unfair,” Said One of His Lawyers, Yoon Gap-We.

“I Feel Regrettable That This Completely Is Political Decision,” He said.

But Politicians Are Calling for Unity, asking Everyone to Accept this Verdict, So South Korea Can Least Start to Move.

Yoon’s Political Party, The PPP, has conceded, But Yoon Himself has not started. In A Statement He apologized to His Supporters’ Shortcomings “The Ruling The Netentioning of the Wittle.

“I am Truly Sorry and Regretful That I Could Live Up to Your Expectations,” He said.

“It has been a great honor to serve the Republic of Korea. I am deefly grateful to you?

He Cannot Appeal, As The Decision was made by South Korea’s Top Court. But having repeatedly vowed to the end, he could still refuse to go quietly.
