How much leverage does this guy have to survive impeachment after declaring martial-fucking-law for no reason?
His party didn't show preventing the 2/3 of parliament required for the vote to be held. They are planning on trying again Wed.
So if they show up the vote happens and he probably goes down. If they don't show up they don't get to vote on anything.
He learned lessons from trump
His party learned to become spineless pieces of shit from the US republicans
Probably the logic of the ruling party: this president is not great, but if we impeach him now there will be elections and a new president will be elected, this time one from the opposition party. Competent president working for the other party might be considered worse than an incompetent and corrupt one.
I am sure they would vote for impeachment if they had real chances of winning the presidential elections.

Same, still I appreciate the attempt to rationalize the situation.
If history is any indication, he will be reelected.
Because its more complicated than him just being a bad guy.
He did a stupid, very bad move, but it was because the CCP-infected, anti-Japan opposition passed a budget that forced his hand, it would have apparently cut all government funding by a ridiculous degree.
Oh so they actually are copying the US.
Which, in turn, seems to have copied Brazil.
And Hungary with the media takeover.
Enjoy that indefinite general strikes the unions already called
The defense minister is stepping down
No. Charge him with treason and court martial his traitorous ass.
This is the weirdest timeline
The worst timeline
