During his tour of Germany Lee claimed that the north's denuclearization is prerequisite to unification. He also let loose a string of balderdash justifying the moves for confrontation with the DPRK while demanding someone's "apology" for the cases of warship sinking and Yonphyong Island shelling.

Referring to this fact, the statement said: We cannot but be shunned by Lee's vile remarks taking issue with the DPRK without discretion outside.

In order to incite confrontation with the DPRK, he cooked up a lot of plots and answered the DPRK's proposal for wide-ranging dialogue with war maneuvers, it charged.

The statement demanded that Lee no longer resort to dependence on foreign forces and confrontation with the DPRK, well aware of what is the south Korean people's mindset shown in the April 27 by-election.
