South Korea's political landscape is heating up as the main opposition Democratic Party submitted an impeachment motion against Prime Minister Han Duck-soo on Thursday. 🌏⚖️ The party's floor leader announced the move during the National Assembly's plenary session, citing unresolved policy disagreements that have “undermined public trust.”
The impeachment push signals escalating tensions between the ruling and opposition parties, with analysts calling it a rare and high-stakes move. While details of the specific grievances remain under wraps, insiders suggest the motion relates to economic policies affecting youth employment and housing—a hot-button issue for young voters. 🏙️💼
Prime Minister Han, a key ally of President Yoon Suk Yeol, has faced mounting criticism in recent months. If the motion progresses, it could trigger a parliamentary vote, though experts say the ruling party’s majority might block its passage. Political junkies, stay tuned—this could reshape Seoul’s playbook ahead of next year’s elections! 📉🗳️
