The country’s opposition has accused acting president Han Duck-soo of obstructing justice and aiding the failed martial law bid.
South Korea's political crisis deepens as the opposition impeaches acting President Han Duck-soo for obstructing justice and allegedly aiding the failed martial law attempt by former President Yoon Suk-yeol.
The core issue is the lack of a quorum in the Constitutional Court, which is needed to rule on Yoon's impeachment. Han's refusal to appoint new justices, demanding agreement from rival parties first, exacerbates the situation. This raises questions about the legitimacy of any future court decision and fuels the ongoing political turmoil.
