Parliament passes motion for interior minister's impeachment

Lawmakers of the ruling People Power Party exit a plenary session at the National Assembly in Seoul on Feb. 8, 2023, after a motion to impeach Interior and Safety Minister Lee Sang-min was passed. The main opposition Democratic Party and two minor parties introduced the impeachment motion earlier this week to hold Lee responsible over the government's allegedly bungled response to the Oct. 29, 2022, crowd crush that killed 159 people in the capital's Itaewon district.
