South Korean court overturns improperity against Prime Minister Han Duck-soo, resuming acting president

South Korea’s constitutional court overturned on Monday Impotence Prime Minister Hand Ducksthe second U.S. official was restored to the acting leader, and the same time, no ruling for President Yoon Suk Yeol’s separate impeachment.

Many observers say Monday’s ruling doesn’t have much signal to the upcoming Yoon verdict, as Han is not a key figure Yoon’s martial law order. But it can still inspire the staunch supporters of the Memorial and raise the political offensive against the opposition.

After Han became the Conservative Yoon, the National Assembly (National Assembly), a free opposition-controlled opposition, imposed martial law on December 3, which triggered a huge political crisis and became acting president. However, after a political conflict with opposition MPs, Han was also impeached by the congress.

An unprecedented, continuous impropriety pauses have exacerbated domestic divisions and raised concerns about the country’s diplomatic and economic activities. Deputy Prime Minister and Finance Minister Choi Sang-Mok has served as acting president since then.

On Monday, seven of the eight judges in the court overturned or dismissed Han’s impeachment. They ruled that the allegations against him were not violated the law or were not serious enough to evacuate him from the office, or that his impeachment motion was not even encountered the necessary quorum when it was even passed at the conference.

After returning to its original state, Han told reporters that he would focus on “the most pressing matters”, including a rapidly changing global trade environment, which clearly refers to the Trump administration’s active trade policy. He also called for a national unity, saying: “No left or right – what matters is the progress of our country.”

The court has not ruled on Yoon’s impeachment. If the court insists on the impeachment of the dollar, South Korea must hold elections for the new president. If defended, Yoon would be restored to office and restored to his presidential power.

Yoon played imp two weeks earlier than Han. Observers earlier predicted that the Constitutional Court would make a ruling on Yoon’s case in mid-March, but that was not the case.

Yoon has been arrested separately and charged with rebellion related to martial law. If convicted, he will face death or life imprisonment. Yoon was released from prison after allowing him to undergo a criminal trial in Seoul District Court without being detained on March 8.

Large rivals who support Yoon or denounce Yoon’s rally separate the streets of Seoul and other major cities in South Korea. Earlier investigations showed that most Koreans were critical of Yoon’s martial law, but those who supported or sympathized with Yoon later gained strength.

After the martial law was announced, he sent hundreds of troops and police to the parliament. Yoon said his goal was to maintain orders, but senior military and police dispatched people there said Yoon ordered them to drag out legislators to prevent voting to overturn his ordinance. Enough members of the parliament eventually managed to enter a chamber and voted unanimously.

Han is a professional diplomat appointed by Yoon Ren, who tried to reassure his diplomatic partners and stabilize the market while serving as acting president. One of the main triggers that opposition pushed his impeachment was Han’s refusal to fill three vacancies on the constitutional court of nine members.

Restoring full membership in the court is sensitive because a ruling allows Yoon’s impeachment to require the support of at least six judges.

Han’s successor Choi Sang appointed two new judges, but the ninth seat was vacant.

Han and Choi both listed the need for bipartisan agreement to bring the judges to the court, but their critics suspect they are next to Yoon’s People’s Power Party, which hopes to increase Yoon’s chances of returning to power. On Friday, the main liberal opposition Democrats and other minor opposition parties filed an impeachment motion about Choi.
