Speaker 1: Lonmekers in South Korea on Saturday feiled to carry out
2
00:00:03,720 –> 00:00:07,280
their planned impeachment of President Yunsukio, who earlier in the
3
00:00:07,320 –> 00:00:09,960
week declared a few hours long Mason law, which was
4
00:00:10,000 –> 00:00:13,599

People Power Party PEPP and the opposition Democratic Party DP.

But today the PEPP boycotted the impeachment process, with the
7
00:00:23,640 –> 00:00:28,239
party leaders saying the president would resign. The impeachment process
8
00:00:28,320 –> 00:00:31,679
failed as many lawmakers refused to vote and the parliament
9
00:00:31,839 –> 00:00:35,359
could not gather enough votes required to impeach a president
10
00:00:35,520 –> 00:00:40,640
in South Korea. After the impeachment filed, the president Political
11
00:00:40,679 –> 00:00:44,679
Party PPP said that it could not allow a repeat
12
00:00:44,759 –> 00:00:48,039

gawl High, who left office after months of Kando lind
14

00:00:57,560 –> 00:01:00,759
of the party and a victory by liberals in presidential
16
00:01:00,880 –> 00:01:05,560

17
00:01:05,599 –> 00:01:09,760
tragedy of paralysis of state affairs and suspension of constitutional
18
00:01:09,799 –> 00:01:14,760

20
00:01:19,000 –> 00:01:22,640
vowed to leave his future off to the party. Thousands
21
00:01:22,640 –> 00:01:26,760

00:01:26,760 –> 00:01:31,120
Parliament on Friday and Saturday nights de manday Nune’s impeachment.
23
00:01:32,000 –> 00:01:35,280
At least eight votes were needed from Yun’s PPP to
24
00:01:35,359 –> 00:01:38,879
reach the two thirds majority needed to impeach the president,
25
00:01:39,760 –> 00:01:44,319
but PPP lomekers departed after casting votes on a separate motion,
26
00:01:44,920 –> 00:01:48,879
even when some people shouted and caused them. Only three
27
00:01:48,959 –> 00:01:53,280
lomechers from Yun’s party voted in the impeachment process, according
28
00:01:53,319 –> 00:01:57,959
to routers, President Yun had earlier on Saturday morning, addressed
29
00:01:57,959 –> 00:02:00,719
the nation in the televised speech to our apologize for
30
00:02:00,799 –> 00:02:04,319
the move and said he would first multiple repercussions there
31
00:02:04,359 –> 00:02:08,120
would be, but he did not offer to resign. Jun
32
00:02:08,199 –> 00:02:10,639
said he would put his fret in the hands of
33
00:02:10,719 –> 00:02:15,439
the PPP. I caused anxiety and inconvenience to the public.
34
00:02:15,879 –> 00:02:19,280
I sincerely apologize. I will leave it up to our
35
00:02:19,360 –> 00:02:23,680
party to stabilize the political situation in the future, including
36
00:02:23,759 –> 00:02:27,639
my term of office, June said in a televised address
37
00:02:28,080 –> 00:02:32,680
after the firm impeachment vote. PPP leader Hand On whom
38
00:02:32,759 –> 00:02:36,639
said the party had decided that Jun would resign. The
39
00:02:36,719 –> 00:02:40,240
declaration of martial law was a clear and serious violation
40
00:02:40,439 –> 00:02:44,919
of the law, Hand told reporters. Roters reported that Han
41
00:02:44,960 –> 00:02:48,479

42
00:02:48,560 –> 00:02:52,639
unclear if he was speaking for all PPP members. There
43
00:02:52,759 –> 00:02:56,000
was no one yet from Un on Hand’s comments. The
44
00:02:56,080 –> 00:02:59,360
People Power Party will pursue an orderly departure of the
45
00:02:59,400 –> 00:03:03,560
president in order to minimize confusion for the people, has said,
46
00:03:04,039 –> 00:03:08,479

00:03:20,479 –> 00:03:23,800
return to their seats during the impeachment voting process, but
51
00:03:24,000 –> 00:03:27,560
to go as well, the opposition needed at least eight
52
00:03:27,680 –> 00:03:30,800
votes from the PPP, not only three of them voted.
53
00:03:30,879 –> 00:03:35,120

to the brief martional law declaration led Tuesday evening and
70
00:04:38,279 –> 00:04:43,439

71
00:04:43,439 –> 00:04:46,879
that the impeachment motion must receive a two thoughts majority
72
00:04:47,000 –> 00:04:51,040
in parliament to be approved. The opposition will need eight
73
00:04:51,120 –> 00:04:54,240
votes from ruling party lomakers out of the three hundred
74
00:04:54,279 –> 00:04:58,399
lomakers in the National Assembly to pass the bill. Yiunt’s
75
00:04:58,399 –> 00:05:02,319
declaration of martial law is a clear violation of the constitution,

00:05:02,959 –> 00:05:06,720
the Democrats party wrote in a resolution seeking Nut’s impeachment.

for impeachment, the Democrats stated. For the impeachment to take effect,
80
00:05:20,680 –> 00:05:23,959
lomakers now have twenty four to seventy two hours to

00:05:24,079 –> 00:05:28,759

84
00:05:37,439 –> 00:05:40,680
