South Korea’s parliament passed impeachment motions on Thursday against Justice Minister Pak Song Ce and National Police Agency Commissioner Cho Ci-ho.
South Korea's parliament passed impeachment motions against Justice Minister Park Sung-jae and National Police Agency Commissioner Cho Ji-ho. The no-confidence vote in Park saw a majority of lawmakers in favor, with 195 voting for his impeachment and 100 against. Similarly, the motion against Cho gained 202 votes in favor and 88 against. The impeachment against Park will now be referred to the Constitutional Court, which is tasked with making the final decision on his removal from office.
In a further development, the police have requested an arrest warrant for Cho Ji-ho, adding to the growing legal and political pressures surrounding the high-ranking official. This marks a significant escalation in the ongoing political tensions, as both Park and Cho are closely associated with President Yoon Suk Yeol’s administration. The impeachment motions come at a time when South Korea’s political landscape is increasingly divided, with growing scrutiny over the government’s handling of key legal and law enforcement issues.
In addition to the impeachment motions, South Korea's parliament also passed the "Yoon Seok-yul Public Prosecution Act" and the "Kim Geon-hee Special Prosecution Act," which aim to address concerns over the prosecution's role and accountability. These legislative actions, alongside the impeachment votes, are seen as part of a broader political struggle as lawmakers push for greater oversight of the executive branch. As the Constitutional Court considers Park’s fate, the political climate in South Korea remains tense, with both public and political attention focused on the unfolding legal proceedings.
