South Korean conservatives condemned as peace breaker

A strong current of peace, prosperity and reunification runs through the Korean peninsula now, with the meeting for national reunification successfully held to commemorate the 11th anniversary of the historic October 4 2007 Declaration.

A great national event which demonstrated the steadfast aspiration and will of the Korean nation to achieve peace, prosperity and reunification to the world once again, the recent meeting for national reunification held in Pyongyang was hailed by the international community as well as the entire Korean nation.

However, only the south Korean conservatives including the Liberty Korea Party are now making reckless remarks against the joint national event for reunification and pouring cold water over the nation’s reunification zeal, instead of sending applause to the mainstream of society.

Kim Song Thae, floor leader of the Liberty Korea Party, and other conservatives picked a quarrel with the remarks of Democratic Party representative Ri Hae Chan and others committing themselves to the abolition of the “national security law” and “safeguarding of the government” during their visit to Pyongyang, asking which country’s ruling party Ri represents and whether he intends to make socialist revolution together with the north’s leadership and saying they sounded as if they formed the single ranks of united front with the north. They also denounced their Pyongyang tour as a “tributary diplomacy”.

Conservative media and experts are taking advantage of this opportunity to find fault with the itinerary in Pyongyang of the southern delegation and payment of the expenses for events, saying it (the delegation’s Pyongyang tour) was misused for the north’s propaganda campaign to neutralize sanctions and weakened anti-north sanctions.

The south Korean conservatives, who try desperately to revive the past trend towards confrontation with the fellow countrymen by brandishing the rusty sword of “national security law” without realizing the current situation leading to national independence, reconciliation and unity, are the refuse of history, major stumbling block to peace and reunification and root cause of all evils.

In this regard, the democratic and reformist parties including the Democratic and Justice parties and the public vehemently criticize the conservatives, saying that only the Liberty Korea Party has been isolated and remained as a peace interrupter and demanding it throw away the Cold War era legacies like “colour theory” and “national security law”, stop behaving anachronistically and work together with others to build a peace-keeping mechanism in the Korean peninsula.
