Court's Decision and Implications
South Korea's Constitutional Court overturned the impeachment of Prime Minister , reinstating him as acting president, after he succeeded President , who was impeached over a martial law declaration.
The court's ruling on Han's impeachment does not extend to Yoon's case, leaving Yoon's political future uncertain and potentially requiring a national election if Yoon's impeachment is upheld.
Political Context and Reactions
The series of impeachments, first of President Yoon and then of Prime Minister Han, has deepened political divisions in South Korea, affecting diplomatic and economic stability.
Han's reinstatement comes after he faced accusations from the opposition-led parliament for not adequately addressing Yoon's martial law declaration and for refusing to appoint more Constitutional Court justices.
