South Korea top court reinstates prime minister suspended over martial law turmoil

ai generated text

South Korea's Constitutional Court reinstated impeached Prime Minister Han Duck-soo as acting president in a 7-1 vote, dismissing his impeachment on Monday. Five of the justices found insufficient grounds for impeachment, though the motion against him was valid. Han took over as acting president after President Yoon Suk Yeol was suspended for declaring martial law, but he was himself impeached by lawmakers just weeks later.

    1. I believe that all citizens are clearly speaking out against the highly polarised political sphere. I think there is no place for division now. Our country's priority is to move forward.

    1. What's different this time is the counter protests on the street, the level of online activism, and the apparent increase of some elements of extremism in these protests, which I find to be a little disconcerting.
    2. When there's a party where the majority can temporarily remove people from office, that can be a remarkably destabilizing power.
    3. Korea has historically had this sort of standard, partisan divide.

    1. The judges did not deliberate on the legality of martial law but rather on Han's involvement in the case.
