South Korea's Opposition Party Declines to Impeach PM Han Duck-soo After December 3 Martial Law and Yoon Suk Yeol's Impeachment
Dec 15, 2024, 09:20 AM
South Korea's main opposition party, the Democratic Party, led by Lee Jae-myung, announced on December 15 that it will not pursue the impeachment of Prime Minister Han Duck-soo. This decision follows the recent declaration of martial law on December 3, which has led to significant political turmoil. Lee stated that the party has no plans to initiate impeachment proceedings against Han, who is currently serving as acting president after the impeachment of President Yoon Suk Yeol. Meanwhile, Yoon has defied a summons from prosecutors investigating his controversial martial law declaration, prompting the prosecution to announce plans for a second summons. The situation remains tense as the opposition calls for swift action from the Constitutional Court regarding Yoon's impeachment.
