    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.

      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.
