The President of South Korea Dismissed by the Constitutional Court

The President of South Korea has been officially removed from power as of this past Friday. The verdict was delivered by the Constitutional Court. The South Korean President stumbled last year, writes https://xrust.ru/. He imposed martial law, triggering a political crisis. At that time, the parliament announced Yoon’s impeachment. The turmoil surrounding his removal lasted a year. Now, South Koreans will be offered presidential elections, which, according to the Constitution, must be held within 60 days. The acting president, who is currently the prime minister, remains in power for now. The constitutional judges concluded that the president overstepped his authority, posing a challenge to democracy. Yoon lost the trust of the people, the judges declared. At a mass rally near the Constitutional Court building, the crowd chanted “We won” upon hearing the verdict. However, part of the population is against this decision.
