Top figure in Democratic party calls for Yoon to ‘step down immediately’
Criticism of Yoon appears to be growing after South Korea’s president reversed an earlier martial law decree. Park Chan-dae, a top figure in the Democratic party, has called on the president to quit.
According to CNN, Park said Yoon must “step down immediately” and “cannot avoid the charge of treason” over his declaration of martial law.
His comments come shortly after the head of a minor opposition party vowed to impeach Yoon.
“He put all the people in shock,” Cho Kuk said. “The president is a dangerous being … threatening democracy and constitution.”
He vowed to impeach Yoon by putting together votes from other parties.
