The limits of political turmoil that overshadowed their efforts to deal with the new administration of US President Donald Trump in a moment of deceleration of growth in Asia’s fourth largest economy.
With Yoon’s opinion, a presidential election is necessary to occur within 60 days, according to the country’s constitution.
Prime Minister Han Duck-Soo will continue to serve as an interim president until the new president is inaugurated.
“The unanimous decision of the Constitutional Court has removed an important source of uncertainty,” Professor Leif-Eric Easley of Ewha University in Seoul. “And not a moment very early, given as the next government in Seoul, it should navigate military threats from North Korea, China’s diplomatic pressure and Trump’s commercial tariffs.”
The interim chief, Moon Hyung-Bae, said that Yoon violated his duty as president of his December 3 martial statement, acting beyond the powers given to him under the Constitution and describing his actions as “a serious challenge to democracy.”
“(Yoon) committed a grave of betrayal of the people of trust that are the sovereign members of the Democratic Republic,” Moon said, adding that Yoon’s statement of martial law has created chaos in all areas of society, economy, foreign policy.
Thousands of people in a demonstration asking for Yoon’s expulsion, including hundreds who had camped at night, exploded in wild applause to hear the decision, singing “We Won!”
Yoon supporters who were gathered near their official residence reacted angrily. A protester was arrested for crushing a police bus window, the Yonhap news agency said.
The South Korean winner was widely imprisonable with the decision of Friday, remaining about $ 1% in dollars to 1,436.6 per dollar at 0249 GMT. Benchmark Kospi fell 0.7%, also unchanged in the morning, as the expected scenario was for the court to defend the impeachment law.
REJECTED ARGUMENTS
The court rejected most of Yoon’s argument that he stated that martial law sounded the alarm about the abuse of the main opposition party of the majority parliamentary, saying that there were legally justified paths to deal with the unconscious.
The decree of martial law lacked justification and was also procedurally defective, Moon said. Mobilizing the military against Parliament to interrupt their duties was a serious violation of Yoon’s constitutional duty to protect the independence of the three branches of the government, he added.
The interim leader of the Yoon People’s Party, Kwon Young-SE, apologized to people saying that the party humbly accepted the court’s decision and promised to work with the interim president to stabilize the country.
Interim President Han Duck-Soo, speaking after the decision, said he would do everything he could to guarantee an orderly and peaceful presidential election.
Finance Minister Choi Sang-Mok is expected to convene an emergency meeting with the governor of Banco da Korea and financial regulators.
Yoon, 64, faces a criminal trial for accusations of insurrection related to the statement of martial law. The leader in trouble became the first south -Korean president to be arrested on January 15, but was released in March after a court canceled his arrest warrant.
The crisis was triggered by Yoon’s martial statement, which he said it was necessary to eradicate the “anti-state” elements and the alleged abuse of the mostly parliamentary Democratic Democratic Party that he said was destroying the country.
Yoon raised the decree six hours later, after parliamentary employees used barricades and extinguishers to dismiss special operations soldiers who arrived by helicopter and broke windows as they sought to enter Parliament, where parliamentarians voted to reject the martial law. Yoon said he never intended to completely impose emergency military rule and tried to underestimate the consequences, saying that no one was injured.
