Great Unity of Progressive Forces in S. Korea Called for
Pyongyang, May 17 (KCNA) -- All political parties, organizations and people from all walks of life in south Korea desirous of independence, democracy and reunification should form a great alliance of progressive forces as early as possible irrespective of idea and ism in order to foil the fascist clique's unprecedented repressive offensive and intensify the anti-"government" struggle by dint of unity.

Rodong Sinmun Sunday observes this in a signed article.

The unity serves as a fundamental guarantee for the south Korean people in winning a victory in the struggle for independence, democracy and reunification, the article notes, and goes on:

A key to ensuring the unchallenged superiority of the progressives in the acute confrontation with the reactionary conservatives standing in the way of advance of the history is to achieve the unity of the people of different circles.

No unity would be thinkable without a great alliance of the progressive forces.

To form the said alliance means that all patriotic organizations, personages and people aspiring after independence, democracy and reunification get united organizationally for the common purpose and take united actions, firmly solidarizing with one another.

Only when individual progressive organizations subordinate everything to achieving the common goals of independence, democracy and reunification and form a great alliance on this basis, is it possible to achieve strong unity and meet any challenge to reunification.

The grave situation in which the south Korean conservative ruling forces have intensified as never before the repressive offensive against the pro-reunification democratic forces urgently requires the progressive forces from different circles to unite close as one and form the great alliance as early as possible.

The south Koreans' desire for independence, democracy and reunification is absolutely just and no force on earth can bar them from forming the great alliance of progressives for realizing it.
