The reason for this initiative was the conflict that erupted last week after the president declared a short-term state of emergency. 

The opposition accuses the president of incitement and insists on his removal. The preliminary impeachment vote ended in favor of Yun, but political tensions remain. 

A successful impeachment requires the support of two-thirds of the members of parliament. This requires at least eight members of the presidential party to join the opposition.
