South Korea opposition plans to impeach acting President Choi

South Korean opposition parties plan to file a motion to impeach acting President Choi Sang-mok on Friday. The Democratic Party announced this decision in a notice to reporters. The impeachment motion will be submitted at 2pm local time. However, there is no clear timeline for when a vote will take place. Choi, currently the finance minister, has been serving as acting president since President Yoon Suk Yeol was impeached. Yoon was removed from office due to a controversial martial law he declared in December. Opposition parties are upset with Choi for vetoing several bills and delaying the appointment of a Constitutional Court justice. That judge is important because the court is reviewing Yoon's impeachment. Tensions are rising in South Korea as the court has taken longer than expected to deliver its decision. Both sides are divided over Yoon's removal, leading to increased protests and political strife in the country. The Democratic Party claims Choi is not fulfilling his constitutional duties by not appointing the required judge, which they say undermines parliament's authority.
