South Korea President: North Korea’s government media has maintained complete silence after the impeachment motion was passed against South Korea’s President Yun Suk Yeol. South Korea’s National Assembly passed an impeachment motion against Yoon on Saturday, but as of Sunday morning, none of North Korea’s major media outlets such as Rodong Sinmun and the Korean Central News Agency have responded. This silence is raising questions because North Korea’s media usually reacts immediately to such matters. Completely different from the situation of 2016… In fact, this attitude of Pyongyang is completely different from the situation of 2016. When the impeachment motion was brought against then South Korean President Park Geun-hye, North Korea responded within four hours. At that time, Pyongyang’s propaganda media ‘Uriminjokkiri’ and KCNA had published a quick report. North Korea portrayed Park’s impeachment as a “failure” of the South Korean government and made it part of its propaganda. Impeachment against Yun Suk Yeol…Experts believe that Pyongyang’s silence this time reflects its strategic thinking. North Korea currently defines its relations with South Korea as hostile. In this context, Pyongyang wants to make its stance more clear by avoiding reacting to the impeachment against Yun Suk Yeol. This silence also highlights the state of inter-Korea relations which have remained tense for a long time. 180 days time for decision..In South Korea, President Yoon has been suspended from his post after the impeachment motion was passed. Prime Minister Han Duck-soo has taken over as acting president. Now all eyes are on the Constitutional Court, which will decide whether Yun will be removed from his post or reinstated. The court has 180 days to take this decision. During this time, the country’s politics is going through a period of uncertainty. The main reason for the impeachment motion against President Yoon was his announcement of emergency martial law on Tuesday night. However, the very next day the Parliament rejected it, after which the martial law was repealed. This step may have been implemented for a few hours, but it created a stir in the politics of the country. Amidst the silence of North Korea and the political crisis in South Korea, this matter may further complicate the equation of relations between the two countries. agency input
