The present chief executive of south Korea has not participated in the events commemorating the anniversaries of the Kwangju Popular Resistance held in south Korea under absurd pretexts since he came to power, the commentary noted, and continued:

Lee Myung Bak has made his appearance in prayer meetings of a specified religious organization but he has not participated in the events related to the resistance anniversaries, saying "he was too busy to do so." This is a mockery of the May 18 People's Resistance, the departed soul of the martyrs of the Kwangju resistance and the people.

Lee fully revealed his nature by defiling the spirit of the Kwangju Popular Resistance, it said, urging him to apologize to the participants in the resistance and the people.

Meanwhile, the spokesman issued a commentary on the same day denouncing the puppet group of traitors for resorting to the fascist suppression of the progressive forces in a bid to tide over its ruling crisis.
