MADRID Dec. 4 (EUROPA PRESS) –
Han Dong Hoon, leader of the People’s Power Party, a party to which the country’s president, Yoon Suk Yeol, belongs, asked this Wednesday that the president leave the party after the controversy that arose with the approval of martial law on Tuesday, a measure that was later revoked by the country’s Parliament.
Thus, he has indicated that he has submitted the request in this regard to the country’s Prime Minister, Han Duck Soo, and the Chief of Staff, Chung Jin Seok. Han, who is also a deputy, confirmed having made the request during a press conference as the opposition and unions ask Yoon to resign as president, according to information collected by the Yonhap news agency.
Previously, the South Korean deputy had also insisted on the need for the Minister of Defense to present his resignation for his involvement in what happened on Tuesday night in the country, as well as accountability for those responsible for the internal crisis.
His words come after senior party officials met at the prime minister’s residence in Samcheong Dong, a meeting that was also attended by members of the Government and the president’s office.
In this sense, he clarified that all of them have come to the conclusion that it was appropriate to require the departure of the president’s party, which was already suffering from a low popularity index before declaring martial law because they considered that the opposition had adopted a position. related to North Korea.
Yoon announced martial law in an unexpected address to the nation in which he accused the opposition of sympathizing with North Korea after opponents – who have a majority in Parliament – pushed forward a budget measure and presented motions of dismissal against several senior officials.
