South Korea Reinstates Han Duck-soo as Acting President Amid Political Turmoil

News summary

South Korea's Constitutional Court has reinstated Prime Minister Han Duck-soo as acting president by overturning his impeachment, which was primarily linked to political tensions and accusations of neglecting duties. The court's 7-1 ruling, delivered on March 24, did not find evidence of Han's involvement in President Yoon Suk Yeol's controversial martial law declaration, which had led to Yoon's own impeachment. Han's reinstatement comes amidst ongoing political turmoil and public rallies related to these events, emphasizing the need for national unity in addressing urgent issues, including global trade challenges. While Han expressed gratitude for the court's decision, observers believe this ruling does not necessarily predict the outcome of Yoon's impeachment case. The political landscape remains deeply divided, with Han's leadership now in a position to potentially influence the ongoing discourse around Yoon's actions. The situation reflects a complex interplay of legal and political maneuvers in South Korea's current governance crisis.
