Roh Apologizes for Impeachment Crisis
South Korean President Roh Moo Hyun apologized today for causing a two-month impeachment crisis and pledged to take a back seat in politics. He said he would tackle the country’s economic problems without damaging growth.
In a live broadcast amid drizzle in front of his Blue House office, Roh said the Constitutional Court may have ruled on Friday to overturn parliament’s March 12 impeachment vote, but that this had not absolved him of political and moral responsibility.
“Once again I take this opportunity to apologize, deeply apologize, to the people,” he said.
