DPRK's Proposal Supported in Nepal

     Pyongyang, March 17 (KCNA) -- Jala Nath Kanal, chief of the International Department of the Central Committee of the Nepal Communist Party (United Marxist-Leninist), in a statement on March 8 said that he was much pleased with a proposal set forth by the DPRK side at the six-way talks in Beijing and welcomed the positive proposal. He expressed his regret at the fact that at the talks the U.S. did not take a positive attitude for the settlement of the nuclear issue on the Korean peninsula.
    We are firmly convinced that only when all the countries concerned including the U.S. make positive contributions, can permanent peace be preserved on the Korean peninsula, the reunification of Korea be realized and the Korean people live under the circumstances of peace and prosperity, he said.

Anniversary of Kim Jong Il's Work Observed

     Pyongyang, March 17 (KCNA) -- Leader Kim Jong Il's work "On Learning from the Revolutionary Soldier Spirit" published on March 17, Juche 86 (1997) is a highly important work giving our people ideological pabulum to defend the sovereignty and dignity of the country and accomplish the revolutionary cause of Juche despite the most rigorous ordeals, says Rodong Sinmun today in a signed article. It goes on:
    Expounded in the work are ideas including the issue of learning from the ideological and spiritual world displayed in the struggle and life of the servicepersons of the People's Army and applying it to the work and life, the issue of improving the content and methods of the information service and agitation of the Workers' Party of Korea and the issue of conducting effective education in the revolutionary faith and will among the Party members and other working people. These ideas served as a militant banner as they indicated the way of overcoming grim ordeals during the "Arduous March" and steadily advancing the revolutionary cause of Juche.
    The work, among other things, serves as a banner encouraging the efforts to train all members of the society as genuine revolutionaries required by the era of Songun.
    Stressing the need to learn from the revolutionary soldier spirit possessed by the servicepersons of the People's Army, Kim Jong Il in the work said that this spirit is a militant spirit the officials, Party members and other working people should learn from. It is the People's Army that personifies the spirit of devotedly defending the headquarters of the revolution on the highest level.
    The idea set out in the work which calls for learning from the spirit displayed by the servicepersons in their struggle and life and applying it to the work and life serves as an ideological source of imbuing the whole society with the spirit of devotedly defending the headquarters of the revolution.
    The work, at the same time, serves as a powerful motive force which makes it possible for all the people to display matchless heroism and self-sacrificing spirit on all fronts of building a great prosperous powerful nation and precious guidelines in making the whole society pervade with the revolutionary spirit and optimistic cultural and emotional life as is the case with the People's Army.

U.S. Forces S. Korea to Bolster Combat Equipment of Its Troops in Iraq

     Pyongyang, March 17 (KCNA) -- The U.S. Army recently forced south Korea to reinforce combat equipment of additional troops of south Korea to be sent to Iraq, according to south Korean KBS. When a fact-finding group of the south Korean army dispatched to Iraq informed the U. S. Army side in Iraq of the combat equipment of the additional troops of south Korea to be sent to Iraq, the latter claimed that such a level of combat equipment is not enough to cope with the resistance forces in Iraq and it is difficult to recognize the independent right to control the specified area unless combat equipment is reinforced. The U.S. Army pressed for reinforcing the combat equipment of the additional troops of south Korea with tanks, helicopters, etc.

KCNA Slams Parliamentary Coup in S. Korea

     Pyongyang, March 17 (KCNA) -- The railroading of "the motion on impeachment against the president" through the "National Assembly" of south Korea on March 12 is censured by the fellow countrymen and the international community for its illegality and impudence. Conservative forces of south Korea including the Grand National Party perpetrated such unprecedented political gangsterism as railroading the "motion" through the NA in just 20 minutes, reminding one of a military operation carried out against the people's will.
    The GNP, the Democratic Party and the United Liberal Democrats conspired with one another in this rowdyism in a bid to achieve their political purpose to turn the situation before the April "general election" favorable to them.
    This is not just an internal issue of south Korea. The incident brought shame to the fellow countrymen as it is recorded as an unprecedented parliamentary coup and a despicable political rebellion.
    The public at home and abroad termed the incident "a coup staged without guns" and "May 16 coup carried out without the use of guns."
    The "motion on impeachment" was a product of the greed of a handful of political charlatans for power. This chaos has pushed the political situation of south Korea to an unpredictable phase, betraying the backwardness of its politics before the world.
    The U.S. is chiefly to blame for the incident.
    The U.S. egged the south Korean political quacks, obsessed by the greed for power, on to stage such incident in a bid to install an ultra-right pro-U.S. regime there. It is quite natural, therefore, for the people of different social standings in south Korea to brand this as illegal political gangsterism.
    Labour movement organizations, at least 550 civic and social organizations and chairmen of general student councils of over 20 universities in south Korea in their commentaries, statements and declarations on the situation branded the incident as a "challenge to the people." Candlelight rallies and demonstrations are taking place every day in Seoul, Pusan and other areas. These are a clear indication of their will not to pardon those forces that staged a political coup.

Seminar on Juche-Oriented Idea of Literature and Art Held

     Pyongyang, March 17 (KCNA) -- A seminar on the Juche-oriented idea of literature and art was held in Pyongyang on Mache 16 to commemorate the 20th anniversary of leader Kim Jong Il's guidance to the creation of the revolutionary drama "Blood at an International Conference". Guiding the creation of the drama on March 12, Juche 73 (1984), Kim Jong Il lucidly taught the germ of idea of the work that the international conference for peace, too, did not present independence to Korea and the thematic idea that dependence on foreign forces leads to a national ruin and it is a true way of winning back the sovereignty of the state to achieve independence through struggle with consciousness of national independence.
    At the meeting speakers said that Kim Jong Il through his tireless guidance made sure that this famous drama was created as a model of revolutionary dramas based on history, thus performing immortal exploits in successfully carrying forward and developing the tradition of the anti-Japanese revolutionary literature and art and effecting a radical turn in all fields of literature and art.
    They stressed that the idea and theory set out by Kim Jong Il in guiding the revolutionary drama serve as guidelines to be held fast to in creating revolutionary literature and art, works based on history in particular, and a banner encouraging the creators and artistes in their fresh creative activities.
    They called for upholding the Juche-based theory of drama set out by him and thoroughly implementing it in practice to create more dramas required by the Songun era.
    Present there were Kim Jong Ho, chairman of the Central Committee of the General Federation of the Unions of Literature and Arts of Korea, and other officials concerned.

Rodong Sinmun on Daily Developing DPRK-Russia Relations

     Pyongyang, March 17 (KCNA) -- Rodong Sinmun today in a signed article recalls that an agreement on economic and cultural cooperation was signed between the governments of the DPRK and the former Soviet Union on March 17, 1949. It marked an important occasion as it opened a new chapter for the development of the DPRK-Russia relations, the article says, and continues: In the past period the DPRK and Russia have steadily developed economic and cultural cooperation and exchange in keeping with the aspiration and interests of their peoples on the legal basis of the agreement.
    The bilateral economic and cultural cooperation has become closer in recent years.
    Substantial work has been promoted between the two countries to boost exchange and cooperation in economic, cultural and other fields of social life The successful performance tours of the DPRK made by the Moiseyev State Academy Folk Dance Troupe and the State Academy Ensemble of the Ministry of Interior of Russia some days ago are a striking demonstration of the ever-growing traditional friendship between the two countries.
    A successful drive is now under way in Russia under the leadership of President Putin to ensure socio-political stability, defend security and interests of the country and achieve the target of building a powerful state.
    The DPRK and Russia have supported and cooperated with each other in the efforts to settle the nuclear issue on the Korean peninsula, achieve stability and peace in the region and seek a fair settlement of major international issues.
    The bilateral friendly relations will as always grow stronger in keeping with the ardent desire of the two peoples and the trend of the development of international relations in the new century.

South Korean Authorities' Security Strategy under Fire

     Pyongyang, March 17 (KCNA) -- The south Korean authorities in their "four-point basic security policy strategy" released recently declared the confrontation with the north as their policy contrary to the era of independence and reunification. Rodong Sinmun today says this in a signed commentary. It goes on: All the fellow countrymen wish to go in for reconciliation and reunification hand in hand, not distrust and confrontation between the north and the south. While talking about "reconciliation and cooperation," the south Korean authorities called for playing a "major role in deterring the north." By doing so, they declared the confrontation with their fellow countrymen in the north, their dialogue partner, as their policy.
    @Their talk about "deterring the north" is, in fact, little short of a subterfuge of the United States to stifle the DPRK by force of arms.
    Only when the north and the south join their efforts in the basic spirit of the June 15 North-South Joint Declaration, can they reject foreign forces for aggression and steadily push forward the already started process of reconciliation and the cause of reunification.
    @Such behavior of the south Korean authorities goes to prove that they lack such spirit of national independence and will for reconciliation and reunification.
    @Pursuing cooperation with the U.S., while shunning national cooperation, is as foolish an act as bringing the clouds of a war to hang over this land, not peace.
    @The south side's act of betraying the nation, going against the era of independence and reunification is bound to be rebuffed and condemned by all the fellow countrymen.
    If the south side wishes to implement the joint declaration and see the reconciliation between the north and south and national reunification, it should not advocate such provocative policy of confrontation with the north but demand the U.S. withdraw its forces from south Korea and show in practice its will for independence and the improvement of the inter-Korean relations.

Passage of Motion on Impeachment against President through NA Flailed in S. Korea

     Pyongyang, March 17 (KCNA) -- A rally was reportedly held at the university road of Seoul on March 13 to demand the dissolution of the "National Assembly" and the "Grand National Party" under the sponsorship of the Reunification Solidarity. The rally was addressed by Ri Jong Rin, honorary chairman of the South Headquarters of the National Alliance for the Country's Reunification, Kwon O Hon, chairman of the Society for Supporting Prisoners of Conscience of the Family Movement for Realizing Democracy, and others.
    They branded Representative Choe Pyong Ryol and Floor Leader Hong Sa Dok of the GNP, Representative Jo Sun Hyong of the "Democratic Party," Chief Editor Jo Kap Je of the newspaper Wolgan Joson and others as traitors like the five traitors of 1905 and condemned their crimes, saying that the "passage of the motion on the impeachment against the president" through the NA was the "May 16 coup staged without the use of guns" and the "last-ditch efforts of the conservative forces to prolong their political career."
    At the end of the rally its participants distributed copies of literature denouncing the passage of the "motion" among citizens, marching up to Kwanghwamun.
    On March 12 various organizations published commentaries and statements strongly opposing the railroading of the "motion" through the NA.
    The Reunification Solidarity in an urgent commentary charged that the passage of the "motion on the impeachment against the president" through the NA, a product of the conspiracy among the GNP, the DP and the "United Liberal Democrats," is explicitly a grave challenge to the people and a tyrannical act perpetrated by them, taking advantage of their dominance in the NA.
    The south Korean Confederation of Trade Unions in a statement called upon all the progressive patriotic forces demanding a new political reform to get united and come out in the struggle to liquidate the old conservative political group.
    Students organizations also issued statements on March 12 calling upon all people to positively turn out in the struggle to check the "impeachment" and turn the "general election" into a court to try the political coup.

KCNA Slams Unreasonable Judgment upon Korean Social Scientist Overseas

     Pyongyang, March 17 (KCNA) -- The Seoul Central District Prosecution proposed 15 years in jail for Song Tu Ryul, a social scientist in Germany, on March 9, according to the south Korean KBS. The south Korean authorities demanded such a heavy penalty for him on a false charge after detaining and investigating him who had visited his hometown last year. This is arousing resentment among the fellow countrymen.
    The harsh penalty proposed by the prosecution for the Korean scholar with foreign nationality on the charge of violation of the notorious "Security Law" by groundlessly linking him to the north is an unpardonable act of seeking permanent division and confrontation in contravention of the spirit of national concord reflected in the historic June 15 North-South Joint Declaration.
    As for Song, he emigrated to other country long ago, disillusioned with the military fascist dictatorial regime while struggling for democratization in south Korea. It is nonsensical to assert that he should be punished for paying several visits to the north of the divided country, though he did so with kindred feelings.
    This goes to clearly prove that south Korea is, indeed, a graveyard of human rights where those who aspire after cooperation, exchange, unity and coexistence between the north and the south with ardent desire for reunification are suppressed and punished.
    It is the "Grand National Party", a group of traitors to the nation, that took the lead in taking the above-said legal action against Prof. Song on the charge of violation of the "Security Law" which defines the north as an "anti-state organization" and calls for punishing whoever gets in touch with the north.
    It is well known that the anti-reunification forces including Choe Pyong Ryol, representative of the GNP, were zealous in making the nonsensical claim that Song should be punished on the charge of violation of the "Security Law" and he is a "follower" of someone.
    The south Korean authorities should nullify the judgment passed upon him and set him free at once, clearly mindful that his punishment is a criminal act of diametrically running counter to the June 15 joint declaration and national cooperation.

U.S., Wrecker of Peace

     Pyongyang, March 17 (KCNA) -- The United States has persistently resorted to the policy of war, refusing to lend an ear to the world progressive people's voices calling for peace and stability. For example, the six-party talks held in Beijing some time ago bore no positive result with the United States persistently insisting on the DPRK's "abandoning the nuclear activities first".
    The United States plans to hold reception, staging, onward movement and integration (RSOI) exercises and Foal Eagle maneuvers with south Korea from March 22.
    All the facts clearly indicate once again that the true colors of the U.S. imperialists as wreckers of peace will always remain unchanged.
    The United States, with aggression and war as the mode of existence, has ignited a lot of aggression wars including the Korean War since World War II, destroying the peace and stability of the world and plunging humankind into extreme uneasiness and fear.
    With the cold war dead, the United States has become all the more arrogant and unhesitatingly resorted to armed intervention and war, groundlessly terming independent nations and those out of favor with it parts of the "axis of evil" and "sponsors of terrorism".
    It is the United States that saw the 20th century out with a war of aggression and saw the 21st century in with an invasion of Iraq, trampling down humankind's desire to live in a peaceful world free from war.
    The U.S. imperialists are keeping thousands of military bases and installations in some 140 countries and regions including south Korea and staging various kinds of large-scale military maneuvers in different parts of the world to constantly threatening and wrecking the peace and stability of the world.
    It is the common view of the world's peaceloving people that genuine peace can never be expected to settle in the world as long as the U.S. imperialists exist on the globe.
    They are still rendering the situation around the Korean peninsula extremely strained, while intensifying the moves to isolate and stifle the DPRK.
    The Korean people, who consider independence to be their life and soul, are keeping a close eye on the U.S. moves, while further strengthening the self-defence nuclear deterrent to cope with them.

Measures to Prevent Yellow Sand Damage Taken in DPRK

     Pyongyang, March 17 (KCNA) -- Health of people and natural environment have been damaged seriously by storms of fine yellow sand in some areas of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea. Such phenomena, caused by cutting down of trees at random and desertification by global warming in different regions and countries, are characterized by difficulty to predict their strength and frequency.
    This year such phenomena have come much earlier than previous years, the first seen on February 25 and the second on March 10.
    Due to the yellow sand storm on March 10, a dust rain fell on Pyongyang and other areas in the morning.
    The phenomenon continued until 2 p.m. next day.
    It is predicted that such phenomena will appear frequently in Korea this year because Gobi Desert and yellow-earth areas of China had a little amount of snow and rain from the end of last year to this year's spring.
    The government has taken thoroughgoing measures to prevent damage by dust storms.
    It, through mass media, has given the people common knowledge of sandy dust phenomenon and a correct prediction of such phenomena in time.
    Meanwhile, great efforts have been made to prevent desertification in the country.
    The government has steadily increased investment in the efforts for environmental conservation and conducted the campaign for protecting environment as an all-state, all-people campaign in the period of the general mobilization for land management.
    In this year's spring tree-planting period, too, all the people of the country have turned out in the efforts to plant trees, accelerate the Paekma-Cholsan Waterway project, improve rivers, etc.

Immediate Halt to Moves for Confrontation with North Demanded

     Pyongyang, March 17 (KCNA) -- The Secretariat of the Committee for the Peaceful Reunification of the Fatherland in its information bulletin No. 862 released today accused the south Korean authorities of kicking up a racket of confrontation with the north, making reckless remarks about it over the situation created in the wake of the passage of the "motion on impeachment against the president" through the National Assembly, and demanded they stop it at once. The information bulletin said: On March 15 the minister of Foreign Affairs and Trade of south Korea told the nonsense that if the north shows "a passive attitude" towards the six-way talks or does not attend them on account of the "passage of the motion on impeachment against the president" through the NA, "the south cannot but doubt its north's approach towards the peaceful solution to the nuclear issue.
    On March 13 warhawks of south Korea at an urgent meeting with the commander of the U.S. forces in south Korea held to discuss the situation created in the wake of the passage of the motion cried out for "strengthening the alert posture towards the north" and announced that the "reception, staging, onward movement and integration" and "Foal Eagle" joint exercises against the north would be launched as scheduled.
    This attitude on the part of the south Korean authorities is a grave provocation to the compatriots in the north, their dialogue partner.
    The railroading of the "motion on impeachment against the president" through the NA was an illegal political rebellion staged by the GNP and a handful of other pro-U.S. ultra-right conservatives.
    The south Korean authorities, however, proclaimed even an "alert posture," groundlessly finding fault with the fellow countrymen in the north who work hard to promote the reconciliation and unity between the north and the south and achieve reunification through national cooperation, instead of dealing deserved blows at the foreign forces and the traitors who should be punished on behalf of the nation. This can never be justified. There is no justification for the south Korean authorities to incite an atmosphere of confrontation with the north on account of the situation created in south Korea in the wake of the passage of the "impeachment motion" through the NA.
    They should halt this racket at once and properly fulfil their commitment, cogitating about the grave consequences to be entailed by this row of anti-north confrontation.

Kim Jong Il Gives Field Guidance to Land Realignment in S. Phyongan Province

     Pyongyang, March 17 (KCNA) -- Kim Jong Il, general secretary of the Workers' Party of Korea and chairman of the National Defence Commission of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea, gave field guidance to the land realignment in South Phyongan Province. He was accompanied by Vice Marshal of the Korean People's Army Ri Yong Mu, vice-chairman of the National Defence Commission of the DPRK, KPA Generals Ri Myong Su, Hyon Chol Hae and Pak Jae Gyong, Col. General Ri Pyong Sam and Ri Yong Chol, first vice department director of the Central Committee of the WPK.
    He was greeted on the spot by Ri Thae Nam, chief secretary of the South Phyongan Provincial Committee of the WPK, Pak Yong Hun, chairman of the South Phyongan Provincial Rural Economy Committee, and others.
    The province has turned at least 87,000 hectares of land into fields of standardized shapes in a matter of two years, removing hundreds of thousands of small patches of paddies and ridges between paddy fields extending tens of thousands of ri. As a result, there appeared everywhere in the province a vast expanse of land reminiscent of a large plain in the era of the Workers' Party, changing the province's appearance beyond recognition as required by the new century.
    Going round Mubon Plain in Jungsan County, Mayong Plain in Onchon County and other places of the province, Kim Jong Il acquainted himself in detail with the land realignment.
    He praised the servicepersons and volunteers who have taken part in the land realignment project as dependable and proud performers of exploits as they fulfilled the vast tasks in a short span of time, valiantly overcoming all sorts of trials under difficult conditions where they were hard pressed for everything. Our cause of building a great prosperous powerful nation is sure to be accomplished with success as we have such an admirable army and people, he said.
    He advanced highly important tasks which would serve as guidelines in accelerating and completing the land realignment to give face-lifting to the land and bring about an epochal turn in the agricultural production.
    If the land realignment is brought to an end in the province, it will be completed in the major granaries of the country in the main, he said, stressing the need for the remaining provinces to exert all their efforts to successfully carry out this work in a short span of time.
    He set forth tasks to increase the grain production.
    As a solid foundation has been laid in the province to steadily increase the grain production thanks to the completion of the land realignment and the Kaechon-Lake Thaesong waterway project, all the people should work hard with the firm determination to bring about a great leap in the agricultural production, he noted.
    He put forward tasks to realize the mechanization and widely use chemicals in agriculture.
    Noting that mechanization and an extensive use of chemicals in the farm work are heavy yet honorable revolutionary tasks to be carried out in the present generation on all accounts, he earnestly called for providing the generations to come with a socialist land of bliss good to live in and work.
    Underscoring the need to successfully carry out the project for reclaiming the Kum Song tideland under a long-term plan to build a large modern farm there as wished by President Kim Il Sung, he set forth tasks and ways to do so.

RPDC toma medidas para prevenir danos por polvos arenosos amarillos

     Pyongyang, 17 de marzo (ATCC) -- En varias localidades de Corea aparecen a menudo fenomenos de polvos arenosos amarillos dando grandes danos a la salud de las personas y el ambiente natural. Los polvos arenosos amarillos resultan producidos por las talas indiscriminadas de bosques en varias regiones y paises del mundo y la rapida desertizacion por el calentamiento de la Tierra. Por eso es dificil percatar su intensidad y frecuencia.
    Este ano, el fenomeno de polvos arenosos amarillos aparecio dos veces hasta la fecha: el primero el 25 de febrero y el segundo el 10 de marzo, muy temprano en comparacion con otros anos.
    Por la manana del dia 10, en Pyongyang y otras localidades cayo la "lluvia lodosa", se disminuyo la distancia de vista y se posaron muchos polvos sobre los carros. Tal fenomeno continuo hasta las 2 de la tarde del dia 11.
    Este ano en Corea se preve aparecer frecuentemente tal fenomeno porque desde finales del ano pasado hasta la primavera del ano en curso cayo muy poca nieve y lluvia en el desierto de Gobi y la zona de tierra amarrilla de China.
    Por lo tanto, la RPDC toma estrictas medidas para prevenir danos por polvos arenosos amarillos.
    Ante todo, a traves de TV, periodicos, radios y publicaciones da comprension general sobre tal fenomeno y da a conocer a tiempo pronostico de polvos arenosos amarillos.
    Por otra parte, se esfuerza activamente por prevenir la desertizacion que lo provoca.
    El pais aumenta cada ano la inversion a la proteccion de medio ambiente y realiza la labor de proteccion ambiental mediante el movimiento de movilizacion general por la administracion territorial.
    Durante el mes de reforestacion de la estacion de primavera de este ano, todos los habitantes del pais plantan numerosos arboles, aceleran la obra del canal Paekma-Cholsan y arreglan los rios.

Simposio sobre idea literaria y artistica jucheana

     Pyongyang, 17 de marzo (ATCC) -- Tuvo lugar el dia 16 en esta capital un simposio sobre la idea literaria y artistica jucheana con motivo de cumplirse los 20 anos desde cuando el Dirigente Kim Jong Il dirigio el 12 de marzo del 73 (1984) de la Era Juche la creacion del drama revolucionario "Inmolacion en la Conferencia Internacional". El Dirigente, al dirigirlo ese dia, dilucido claramente la semilla de la obra de que ni siquiera la Conferencia Internacional para la Paz regalo a Corea la independencia y el tema ideologico de que la dependencia de las fuerzas extranjeras conduce al camino hacia el arruinamiento de la patria y para rescatar el poder del pais deben lograr la independencia por medio de la lucha y con la conciencia de independencia nacional.
    Los oradores explicaron que el Dirigente perfecciono la citada obra clasica maestra como un modelo de dramas revolucionarios de temas historicos y de este modo realizo inmortales hazanas en las labores para heredar y desarrollar perfectamente las tradiciones de la literatura y el arte de la Revolucion Antijaponesa y cumplir la revolucion de todas estas esferas.
    Enfatizaron que la idea y la teoria del Dirigente aclaradas en el proceso de dirigir la creacion de dicho drama sirven de firme guia para la creacion de las obras literarias y artisticas revolucionarias, sobre todo, en la de las obras de temas historicos, y de una bandera estimulante para llamar a los creadores y artistas a una nueva lucha de creacion.
    Senalaron la necesidad de apoyar la teoria del Dirigente en materia de los dramas jucheanos y materializarla en la practica para crear numerosos dramas conforme a la corriente de la epoca del Songun (priorizacion militar).
    Participaron en el acto el presidente del Comite Central de la Federacion General de Escritores y Artistas de Corea, Kim Jong Ho, y otros funcionarios.

Sur de Corea repudia aprobacion de "proyecto de denuncia al presidente"

     Pyongyang, 17 de marzo (ATCC) -- Segun trascendidos, el dia 13, en la calle universitaria de Seul tuvo lugar el mitin en demanda de la disolucion de la "Asamblea Nacional" y el "Partido Hannara" bajo el auspicio de la Solidaridad de Reunificacion.

    La aprobacion del "proyecto de denuncia al presidente" en la "Asamblea Nacional" es el "incidente del 16 de mayo sin tiroteo" y los "esfuerzos desesperados de las fuerzas conservadoras que tratan de prolongar la vida politica", dijeron los oradores y condenaron los crimenes de Choe Pyong Ryol, representante del "Partido Hannara" y Hong Sa Dok, jefe de este partido en la "Asamblea Nacional", Jo Sun Hyong, representante del "Partido Democratico", Jo Kap Je, editor jefe del periodico "Wolgan Joson", etc. estigmatizandolos de "5 traidores de Ulsa de cuno moderno.

    El dia 12 varias entidades publicaron comentarios y declaraciones de energica condenacion a tal adopcion.
    La SR publico un comentario urgente senalando que la aprobacion de tal proyecto en la "A.N.", producto de la confabulacion del "Partido Hannara", el "Partido Democratico" y la "Alianza Democratica Liberal", es evidentemente un serio desafio al pueblo y un "acto despotico perpetrado en abuso de la mayoria de escanos parlamentarios".
    La Confederacion de Sindicatos Surcoreanos, en una declaracion, preciso que todas las fuerzas progresistas y patrioticas en demanda de la nueva reforma politica deben unirse y lanzarse a la lucha por deshacer el grupo de atrasados conservadores politicos.
    Tambien las entidades estudiantiles publicaron el dia 12 semejantes declaraciones exhortando a repudiar tal proyecto y lanzarse activamente a la lucha por convertir las "elecciones generales" en un tribunal para juzgar el golpe de estado politico.

Golpe de estado parlamentario - Comentario de ATCC -

     Pyongyang, 17 de marzo (ATCC) -- El alboroto de "denuncia al presidente" armado el pasado dia 12 en la "Asamblea Nacional" del Sur de Corea provoca la censura de la nacion y la sociedad internacional por su ilegalidad y cinismo. Las fuerzas conservadoras del Sur de Corea incluido el "Partido Hannara" perpetraron un acto gangsteril politico inaudito que se iguala a una operacion militar al aprobar el "proyecto de denuncia" en solo 20 minutos en contra de la voluntad de los habitantes.
    El "Partido Hannara", el "Partido Democratico" y la "Alianza Liberal Democratica" confabulados entre si produjeron el presente incidente con el proposito politico de preparar una circunstancia favorable a si mismos para las "elecciones generales" de abril.
    El estado de "denuncia" que no es meramente un asunto interino del Sur de Corea da verguenza a los coreanos siendo un golpe de Estado parlamentario inaudito y vil rebelion politica.
    El "golpe de Estado sin tiroteo", el "estado de 16 de mayo sin bayonetas", esto es la apreciacion interina y externa del presente incidente.
    El estado de "denuncia" surgido por la ambicion de poder de los politiqueros minoritarios lleva la situacion politica del Sur de Corea a una imprevisible coyuntura y pone a flote el atraso politico de esta parte de la Peninsula Coreana.
    El fautor principal del estado de "denuncia" es EE.UU.
    Este pais produjo tal situacion de hoy al azuzar a los politiqueros enloquecidos por la ambicion de fabricar un poder ultraderechista en su favor. Es natural que en distintos circulos del Sur de Corea repudian tal alboroto de "denuncia" calificandolo de acto ilegal y gangsteril politico.
    Las entidades de movimiento sindical, mas de 550 organizaciones civiles y sociales y los presidentes de los consejos generales de estudiantes de mas de 20 universidades del Sur de Corea adoptaron los comentarios, las declaraciones, los manifiestos sobre la situacion, en los cuales califican al presente caso de "desafio al pueblo" y al librar cada dia concentraciones con velas y manifestaciones en Seul, Pusan y otras localidades demuestran la voluntad de no perdonar a los organizadores de golpe de Estado politico.
