As a result of the vacuum, the leadership paralyzed the government the way it should fight the slowdown economy, the aggressive trade policy in the US and the increasing nuclear threat from North Korea.

What did the court decide?

The judges unanimously supported the opinion of the legislators that Yun had exceeded their powers with their shock declaration on martial law in December.

South KoreaThe Constitution allows the President to declare martial law “if it is required to cope with the military necessity or maintain public security and order by mobilizing military forces during the war, armed conflicts or a similar national emergency.”

But the National Assembly, which is controlled by the opposition, claimed that in December the impeachment in December, that there is no emergency in the country the seriousness necessary to justify the decree on martial law.

The movement also blamed Yoon procedural violations, including its deployment of soldiers to storm the National Assembly with a clear application for the prevention of voting of legislators to reject martial law.

In his final defense, before the Constitutional Court in February, Yon claimed that his decree was needed to “prevent the public” of the “wickedness” of the opposition of the left and what he called “external forces, including North Korea, as well as anti -nosonic elements in our society.”

But on Friday, the court ruled 8-0 that Yun “abandoned his duty to support the Constitution and seriously betrayed the confidence of the Korean people.”

What happens to Yon?

After his impeachment, in December, Yun was rejected by his constitutional duties, but remained a nominal president of the country and the head of state.

The ruling on Friday, with an immediate effect, rejected him from his post, making it an ordinary private citizen. South Korea’s simultaneous limit for presidents means that it cannot seek re -election. Yoon also faces criminal charges related to his attempt to impose martial law that he denies.

Specialists from the Conservative Party Yona include the Minister of Labor Kim Mong-Sa, Mayor Seoul O-Hun, Mayor Deg Hong Jong-Pio and former party leader Khan Dong Hong.

While Lee, considered a leader, is considered a leader, he also faces legal problems. Prosecutors appeal against the Supreme Court’s recent verdict, clearing it in making false statements during the election campaign.

This month, he must also be tried on charges regarding North Korea’s funds.

In any case, condemnation can be deprived of their position, although it is unclear what will happen if it is elected by the president before the completion of the trial. He denies all the violations.

Who is responsible now?

Prime Minister Khan Dak-Su, appointed Yoon and long-standing technocrat will continue as the president’s obligation to the election.

Among the Loyalists Yoon are increasingly spreading wild conspiracy theories, including one unreasonable requirement that has been widely shared in social media that Chinese citizens were caught as a result of South Korean election systems and subsequently deported through the US military base.

Lee is also a deep polarization figure. In 2023, he went on a hunger strike to protest what he called a “prosecutor’s dictatorship”.

Last year, Lee was stabbed in the neck of the public, and in recent weeks he made a few public speeches, wearing a bulletproof vest.

Khan, acting the president, and the party of the people previously promised to make a decision of the Constitutional Court. Some analysts note that the anger among the conservatives may be limited, as attention is rapidly paid to who will become a new carrier of the right standard.
