South Korea opposition submits motion to impeach acting president amid deepening political strife

The main opposition party in South Korea has submitted a motion to impeach the country's acting leader, Han Duck-soo, due to his reluctance to appoint constitutional court judges. This reluctance is tied to the court's review of rebellion charges against impeached President Yoon Suk Yeol, who was stripped of his duties on December 14th over a dramatic declaration. Yoon's actions, including the declaration of martial law, have sparked a dispute between the liberal opposition and his conservative party. The opposition claims that Han's refusal to appoint the judges is an attempt to aid Yoon's attempt to avoid accountability.
