South Korean court overturns impeachment of interior minister over Halloween crowd crush response

South Korea's Constitutional Court ruled the interior minister's inappropriate remarks were insufficient grounds for impeachment.
The minister was impeached for allegedly failing to implement effective crowd control measures for the crush that killed over 150.
The court cited broader government failures and lack of evidence that the minister neglected his duties.
Police have pursued charges including negligence against 23 officials over the tragedy.
The opposition pushed for impeachment while the president welcomed the court's decision to reinstate the minister.
