Rodong Sinmun Monday says this is a signed article.

Citing facts to prove that the Lee group has persistently pursued an anachronistic policy of confrontation with fellow countrymen quite contrary to the unanimous will and desire of the Koreans, utterly indifferent to the destiny of the country and the nation, hell-bent on sycophancy toward the U.S. and confrontation with compatriots, the article goes on:

The Lee group has pushed the inter-Korean relations to the phase of total collapse and drove the situation to the brink of a war during the first year of its office. This is a thrice-cursed crime against the nation.

The above-said acts perpetrated by the group were so reckless that they put the successive fascist dictators of south Korea into the shade.

The Lee group is now in the grip of the daily worsening politico-economic crisis.

Nobody else except the group is to blame for this crisis. It is an inevitable consequence of the policy of confrontation with fellow countrymen pursued by the group of traitors, blatantly challenging the ardent desire of the Koreans for independent reunification, backed by outside forces.

Much upset by this, the Lee group is making desperate efforts to evade the responsibility for bedeviling the inter-Korean relations at any cost, far from drawing a lesson from the above-said policy failure and making a policy switchover.

This group can never be the DPRK's dialogue partner as it has persistently escalated the confrontation, not feeling any guilty conscience, utterly indifferent to the fate of the inter-Korean relations.

The political charlatans forsaken by the nation should never be allowed to quell the desire and wishes of the fellow countrymen. No force can stop the advance of the times toward independent reunification.

Only a stern judgment by history awaits the Lee group as it has driven the inter-Korean relations to total confrontation while going against the trend of the June 15 era of reunification.
