The cries of pleasure of some 100,000 South Koreans sounded in Seoul when the Supreme Court validated the dismissal of President Yoon Suk Yeol, Friday, April 4.

The eight judges of the Court pronounced unanimously for dismissal, first voted by the National Assembly.

In December 2024, President Yoon declared martial legislation, to counter the North Korean menace in line with him. This resolution had been canceled by Parliament just a few hours later and brought on immense demonstrations.

New presidential elections should be organized within the subsequent two months.
