Opposition Party Unilaterally Passes Motion in Korean Parliament for President Yoon to Fire Interior Minister

The Korean left continues to try and pressure President Yoon to fire the Interior Minister over the Itaewon crowd crush disaster:

The National Assembly passes a motion calling for the dismissal of Interior Minister Lee Sang-min on Dec. 11, 2022. (Yonhap)

 The opposition-controlled National Assembly on Sunday passed a motion calling for the dismissal of Interior Minister Lee Sang-min over the bungled government response to the deadly Itaewon crowd crush.

The motion won backing from 182 of the 183 lawmakers who cast ballots, with one vote declared invalid.

Members of the ruling People Power Party (PPP), which has opposed the dismissal motion, boycotted the vote and walked out of the chamber en masse before voting began.

You can read more at the link, but according to the article President Yoon will likely ignore the opposition party’s demands. This is clearly politically motivated to try and put blame on the Yoon administration for the Itaewon tragedy when any fair minded person realizes that this was a failure of crowd control at the local police level.
