Causes of the political crisis in South Korea
According to the BBC, in the parliamentary elections held in South Korea this spring, 192 of the 300 seats in the National Assembly were won by the Democratic Party.
As a result of the crushing defeat that the president's power of the People Party received in the elections, the leader of this party, Han Dong Hong, resigned and the country's Prime Minister, Han dok su, resigned.
The media wrote that the vote in the spring elections could be considered as an interim referendum on confidence in President Yoon Sok Yule, who still has three years in power.
The BBC's Seoul correspondent Jake Kwon recalls that after the parliamentary elections lost by his party, the president was unable to pass the laws he needed, but he had to desperately veto any laws passed by the opposition.
This week, the Democratic Party reduced the budget proposed by the government and the president's party, but Yoon Sok Yule cannot veto it.
