South Korea Impeaches President as Demands Grow for Democratic Reforms

Support our work: https://democracynow.org/donate/sm-desc-yt The South Korean National Assembly voted Saturday to impeach President Yoon Suk Yeol, 10 days after his ill-fated attempt to declare martial law in the country. Yoon had falsely accused political rivals of North Korean sympathies in his declaration, invoking previous eras of military dictatorship on the Korean Peninsula in the years following its partition. For more on what to expect from the upcoming judicial vote over Yoon's removal, we speak to Korean activist Dae-Han Song. Yoon's waning popular support is not promising for his political future and has reignited public appetite for democratic reforms, explains Song.
