South Korea Removes Impeached President Yoon Suk-yeol
In a historic decision, South Korea's Constitutional Court has upheld the impeachment of President Yoon Suk-yeol, leading to his immediate removal from office. The verdict, announced on April 4, 2025, marks a significant moment in the nation's political landscape, as Yoon becomes the second president in South Korea's history to be removed through impeachment.
The impeachment stemmed from allegations of corruption and abuse of power, which were substantiated by the court's findings. Following the ruling, the country is now preparing for a new presidential election to be held within 60 days, as mandated by the South Korean constitution.
Analysts suggest that the ousting of Yoon could have broader implications for regional geopolitics. Some experts, as reported by Fox News, believe that China may attempt to leverage this political instability to expand its influence in the region. This perspective adds an international dimension to the domestic political upheaval in South Korea.
