Yoon lawyer says to fight insurrection charge in court: Yonhap
Deccan ChronicleSeoul: South Korea's acting leader vowed Tuesday to convey to the world that things are back to normal following parliament's impeachment of conservative President Yoon Suk Yeol, but rival parties began squabbling over the mechanics of a court ruling to determine whether to formally unseat or reinstate him. The country's liberal opposition-controlled parliament voted to impeach Yoon last Saturday over his short-lived December 3 martial law imposition, suspending his presidential powers until the Constitutional Court determines whether to uphold or overturn the decision. The Democratic Party quickly dismissed Kweon's argument as absurd and utterly nonsensical and urged PPP to abide by a November agreement between the rival parties to nominate the three Constitutional Court justices. The Democratic party accuses PPP of trying to drag out the impeachment trial at the Constitutional Court, which has up to 180 days to determine Yoon's fate.
