Cheers and van as an impeachment of the SK President confirmed by the court

The President of South Korea has been removed from office after the Constitutional Court voted unanimously to maintain his impeachment.

John Suk Yol was stopped by duty in December after being hindered by parliament, after his unsuccessful attempt to establish martial law.

The decision on Friday was greeted with tears of joy and sadness among the critics and supporters of Yown, who had gathered in different parts of Seoul to observe the sentence live.

The SNAP election for ion replacement must be held until June 3.

After months of disturbing waiting for the South Koreans, they have a bad need for closure. The country can now start repairing and moving forward, with the first step choosing a new leader.

But the crisis that Ion has unleashed is far from over. Although his military absorption lasted only six hours, the political fall is only intensified by every month that has passed.

On the night of December 3, when Ion ordered the troops to storm parliament, they changed something in the psyche of South Korea. He awakened the ghosts of the violent, dictatorial past of the country, showing people that the martial law was not, as most had suggested in history.

Many are still upset by what happened that night and fear that the threat of martial law can be blurred again by future jealous politicians.

Therefore, today’s sentence came as a relief for most who cheered on the streets of Seoul when the sentence was read. This is a victory for South Korea’s democracy that it looked as if it were on a dangerous land for a while.

The Constitutional Court was cursed in its criticism of Ion’s authoritarian rule, as all eight judges voted to remove him from office.

In maintaining his impeachment, Moon Hyung-Bey, acting president of the eight men, said that Ion’s short-lived military absorption was not justified and that he was “(disappeared) against the people he was supposed to defend.”

He added that the application of martial law “damaged the fundamental political rights of people” and “violates the principles of the rule of law and democracy.”

There are already serious calls to change the Constitution of South Korea – to strengthen its institutions and to limit the president’s powers – to prevent it from happening again. However, a particularly patriotic future president will be needed to refuse to reduce his own authority.

While Yon leaves the office, he leaves behind not only a shaky side, but also split. After that shocking December night, the South Koreans were united mostly in his disgust with the president and what he tried to do.

But Ion did not show remorse. He dug, fighting his process every step, and continued to affect the same unjustified conspiracy theories that he used to justify his military absorption.

He claims that the country and his political opposition have been penetrated by North Korean and Chinese spies and that these “anti -state forces” have filed last elections.

Gradually, more and more people believed him. Through his militancy, Ion has become a political martyr for many – the victim of an establishment that has been overcome by Communists.

His theories of conspiracy are rooted and extremely right -wing extremism flourished. Thousands protest every week in the center of Seoul. They were on the street on Friday and will be again on Saturday, claiming that politicians and judges of the country are corrupt and the elections are subjected to elections.

And these are not a views of fringes.

More than one -third of people now say that they do not trust the Constitutional Court while they have executed Ion’s sentence; More than a quarter do not trust the vote system.

Within this climate of distrust, South Korea must focus on the ballot box. The heir to Yoon must be selected in the next 60 days. These days are certainly fulfilled and even more distributed. Many may not accept the result that comes.

Still, South Korea urgently needs a new leader, who can stand up for the country as a whole, with no one for months.

He has to quickly figure out how to deal with President Trump after starting on the back. Its 25% car and steel tariffs have dealt with Seoul and his sick economy, an early blow, but many believe it is coming faster; That it is only a time until G -N Trump turned to the Korean Peninsula and when he does, he will try to force South Korea to pay more for his defense and make a deal with Seoul’s enemy, Kim Jong Un.

Ion’s legal team has accused the court of decision policy.

“The whole process of this process was not legal and unjust,” said one of his lawyers, Yon Gap-Gown.

“I feel unfortunately that this is a completely political decision,” he said.

But politicians call for unity, asking everyone to accept this sentence, so South Korea can at least begin to continue.

The Political Party of Ion, PPP, admitted, but Ion himself did not have it. In a statement, he apologized to his supporters for his “shortcomings” without mentioning the decision.

“I’m genuinely sorry and I’m sorry I couldn’t handle your expectations,” he said.

“It was a great honor for me to serve the Republic of Korea. I am deeply grateful to all of you who supported and encourage me, despite my many shortcomings,” he said.

He cannot appeal as the decision was made by the best court of South Korea. But, repeatedly sworn to fight until the end, he could still refuse to go quietly.

In an unprecedented television message on December 3, Ion said he was referring to the martial law To protect the country from “anti -state” forces that sympathize with North Korea.

At that time, the leader of the stabbing was in a stalemate because of a budget bill adopted by corruption scandals and several of his cabinet ministers were investigated.

Less than two hours after Ion’s declaration, 190 MPs who gathered, including some of the Ion Party, voted to cancel it.

Ion was Parliament and stopped by his duties on December 14.

He is also faced with separate allegations of uprising – which makes him the first sedentary president of South Korea, who will be arrested and charged with a crime – for which he will be tested on a later date. He is now on bail.

Yoon is not the only South Korean politician who has been confronted with impeachment in recent months.

Prime Minister Han Duck -U was restored as a temporary acting position last month – a role he took when Yown was stopped – after he was prevented for moving to block the appointment of new judges to the Constitutional Court.

In 2017, Former President Park Gun-Heh She was forced by office because of her role in a corruption scandal involving a close friend.
