South Korean president ordered to travel ban News in

The Parliament is scheduled to vote on the impeachment at ten in the morning Finnish time.

In South Korea, the parliament is meeting today for the second time to vote for the president By Yoon Suk-yeol impeachment. The background is last week’s conflict, in which Yoon unexpectedly declared a state of emergency, which was short-lived, however.

In the impeachment, the South Korean opposition accuses the president of seditious actions. Yoon barely survived the first impeachment vote held last week.

A two-thirds majority in parliament is required for impeachment to proceed. Achieving a majority would also require support from eight representatives of the president’s party.
