Power takeover theme
Which political analyst will be the first to state that Pyongyang may have problems putting Kim Jong-un in power in the United States, but that their reunification plan with South Korea is starting to look successful?
Trial opened against the President of South Korea. South Korea's suspended President Yoon Suk-Yeol is the first sitting president in the country's history to be indicted in a criminal case. Yoon denies the accusations and claims that the state of emergency was legitimate. His lawyers believe that the investigation against him is unfounded.
In parallel with the criminal case, an impeachment process is also underway. The country's Constitutional Court will decide whether Yoon should be formally removed from office. If he is ousted, a new presidential election must be held within 60 days. See the article on SVT Nyheter.
