SEOUL - A petition calling for South Korean President Moon Jae-in to be impeached had gathered more than 217,000 signatures as of Monday, passing a threshold that will require a government response and underscoring Moon’s sagging approval ratings.
“I think there’s no problem for proposing impeachment of a president who acts against the national psyche,” the petitioner wrote on a site for petitions that the presidential office, known as the Blue House, maintains on its web site.The petitioner said Moon has condoned North Korea’s nuclear development, human right problems and illegal transhipment of North Korean coal, while “acting nonsense” such as lowering the military guard while North Korea has its nuclear weapons.
He has maintained wide support compared with some of his predecessors, but over the past year, with a stagnating economy and stalled talks with North Korea, his base of support has narrowed.
