New president elected in Georgia – incumbent refuses to step down

Georgia’s National Assembly has elected former soccer star Mikheil Kavelashvili as its new president.

He was the only candidate for the post and is considered loyal to the criticized Georgian Dream party that controls parliament.

At the same time, the incumbent president, pro-EU Salome Zurabishvili, refuses to step down and calls the election of Kavelashvili a “parody” according to Le Monde.

Georgian Dream is accused of being pro-Putin and having introduced laws that bring Georgia closer to Russia.

The president of Georgia is elected by parliament following a constitutional amendment, and Zurabishvili was the last to be elected by direct election.

Kavelashvili played, among other things, for Manchester City during his career.

– He has pain in his hip, I don’t know more than that at the moment, says Thomas Fuxborg.

A witness from the scene says that several police cars and an ambulance are on the scene. The person says the police officer is lying injured on the ground.

The criminal classifications are still unclear, but Thomas Fuxborg says that it can land in contagion from a traffic accident, causing bodily harm and negligence in traffic.

South Korea’s president is impeached

South Korean President Yoon Suk-Yeol is impeached after suddenly declaring a short-lived military state of emergency the other week.

A narrow majority of members of the National Assembly in Seoul vote to impeach him, with a motion accusing him of effectively carrying out an attempted coup or rebellion.

Unlike the vote that was supposed to be held a week ago, Yoon’s own party mates were present this time, which meant that a decision could be made.

The Speaker announces that 204 members voted for and 85 against.

In a final step, it is up to South Korea’s Constitutional Court to decide whether to uphold the decision and impeach Yoon, or to annul it.

Alongside the parliamentary impeachment process, the president is still the subject of a prosecutor-led criminal investigation.

The vote has taken place at the same time as more than 200,000 residents demonstrated outside the parliament building for the president to be impeached.
