In a recent development, Lee Jae-myung, the leader of South Korea's main opposition party, announced that his party will not pursue impeachment against Prime Minister Han Duck-soo, the country's acting president, at this time.
During a press conference on Sunday, Lee emphasized the importance of maintaining a neutral stance in managing state affairs. This statement came after a phone call between Lee and Han on Saturday, where the need for balanced governance was highlighted.
The move comes in the wake of President Yoon Suk-yeol's suspension from presidential duties. The National Assembly voted on Saturday to impeach him over his controversial handling of the martial law imposition, which has stirred significant debate across the nation.
Lee's decision to hold off on impeachment reflects a strategic approach by the opposition party to navigate the current political landscape carefully. By advocating for neutrality, Lee aims to foster stability within the government during this turbulent period.
