Rodong Sinmun says this in a signed article Wednesday.

It admits of no argument that the conservative group opposed the resumption of the tour of Mt. Kumgang prompted by its black-hearted design to continue to push the inter-Korean relations to a catastrophe, quite contrary to national reconciliation, unity and reunification, the article notes, and goes on:

The denial of the resumption of the tour is precisely a denial of the inter-Korean relations, the north-south joint declarations and national reconciliation, unity and reunification.

It is hard to expect any improvement in the inter-Korean relations or any activities for north-south reconciliation and cooperation including the tour of Mt. Kumgang unless the puppet group stops its moves for confrontation with the DPRK.

The Korean nation can never be in peace as long as the puppet group is allowed to find its way out in escalating north-south confrontation, in utter disregard of the interests and reunification of the country and the nation.

The puppet group can never dodge stern punishment by the nation for the crimes it committed by blocking the resumption of tour of Mt. Kumgang and pushing the inter-Korean relations to an uncontrollable catastrophe.
