Plane Crash Prompts South Korea Leaders to Pause Political Fight

Live Mint  

After two leaders were impeached in as many weeks, a deadly plane crash has prompted South Korea’s feuding political camps to temporarily halt a protracted power struggle. The opposition Democratic Party, responsible for the impeachment campaigns against President Yoon Suk Yeol and Prime Minister Han Duck-soo, canceled parliamentary sessions where they had grilled officials for weeks to visit the disaster site. “But the Democratic Party is unlikely to change tact in seeking a swift ouster of Yoon.” The tragedy has compounded the challenges facing South Korea, which is already going through one of its most turbulent periods in years after Yoon’s short-lived imposition of martial law earlier this month. Kwon Young-se, interim leader of the ruling People Power Party, sat alongside Woo and opposition leader Lee Jae-myung as he pledged that his party would lead efforts to develop parliamentary response measures to the crash.
