Park administration imploding

Scandals involving loyalists, aides hurting leadership


excerpt
Quote
A series of scandals involving loyalists and senior aides to President Park Geun-hye are not only damaging her ability to lead, but also signaling that she is entering an early lame duck period, analysts said Wednesday.

Her traditional political strongholds in the southeastern regions are turning their backs on her, angered by the decision to deploy an advanced U.S. anti-missile system in the southeastern county of Seongju.

Park's aides at Cheong Wa Dae allegedly pulled strings in the ruling Saenuri Party's nomination process for the April 13 general election — although the presidential office and even President Park herself denied such allegations.
