South Korea's main opposition party has submitted a motion to impeach the country's acting leader due to his reluctance to fill three Constitutional Court vacancies. This delay comes as the court is set to review rebellion charges against impeached President Yoon Suk Yeol stemming from a brief martial law decree on Dec. 3.
The dispute between the liberal opposition and Yoon's conservative party has stalled the court appointments, leading to a political deadlock that could impact high-level diplomacy and financial markets.
