South Korean investigators push to summon impeached President Yoon, as court set determine his fate

The Hindu  

South Korean law enforcement authorities are pushing to summon impeached President Yoon Suk Yeol for questioning over his short-lived martial law decree as the Constitutional Court began its first meeting Monday on Mr. Yoon’s case to determine whether to remove him from office or reinstate him. Democratic Party leader Lee Jae-myung urged the Constitutional Court to rule swiftly on Mr. Yoon’s impeachment and proposed a special council for policy cooperation between the government and parliament. Kweon Seong-dong, floor leader of Mr. Yoon’s conservative People Power Party, separately criticized Lee’s proposal for the special council, saying that it’s “not right” for the opposition party to act like the ruling party. Mr. Yoon’s Dec. 3 imposition of martial law, the first of its kind in more than four decades, harkened back to an era of authoritarian leaders the country has not seen since the 1980s.
