A crazy six hours in Seoul and the fragility of democracy

_{//politics-government.news-articles.net/content/ .. urs-in-seoul-and-the-fragility-of-democracy.html}
^{Published in Politics and Government on Saturday, December 7th 2024 at 21:20 GMT by The Australian Financial Review}

A presidential brain snap in South Korea has revived dark memories of the country's past, with potentially damaging geopolitical ripples across north-east Asia.

The article from the Australian Financial Review discusses the dramatic events in Seoul on December 8, 2024, where a significant political upheaval unfolded. It describes how, within a mere six hours, South Korea's political landscape was shaken by the arrest of opposition leader Lee Jae-myung on corruption charges, followed by a violent protest by his supporters. This led to clashes with police, highlighting the fragility of democracy in South Korea. The piece reflects on the implications of these events for the country's political stability, the potential for further unrest, and the broader context of democratic governance under pressure. It also touches on the reactions from both domestic and international observers, emphasizing the delicate balance between law enforcement and political freedom.
