A majority of all age groups but one think Yoon should be impeached for good, according to the latest MBC poll. The only exception? — Over 70s 👴👵

Keine 40 Jahre ist es her, dass sich #Südkorea von den Fesseln der Militärdiktatur befreite. Die aktuelle Situation weist Parallelen zu dieser dunklen Epoche auf, weshalb die Menschen ihre #Demokratie so vehement verteidigen.

Japan hat im Oktober in weniger als 30 Tagen #Neuwahlen organisiert. Das Land hat 120 Millionen Einwohner, verteilt auf mehr als 400 Inseln. Lief alles rund.
Wie viele Politiker darüber diskutieren, ob man es „überhaupt hinbekommt, so kurzfristig eine Wahl zu organisieren“, ist ein unfreiwilliger, aber aufschlussreicher Kommentar zum Stand der Leistungsbereitschaft in Deutschland.
