Five Years of Nightmare Should Not Be Allowed to Repeat in S. Korea
Pyongyang, December 16 (KCNA) -- Five years of nightmare should not be allowed to repeat in south Korea, says Rodong Sinmun Sunday in its commentator's article.

The five years of the Lee Myung Bak group's office were a period of nightmare, despair, catastrophe and resentment, the article says, and goes on:

Those five years were a period for the plutocrats and rich. They were a period of darkness in which majority of the people have been in dire destitution due to the unemployment, poverty, sky-rocketing commodity prices, business bankruptcy, snowballing debts and rising school expenses, etc.

There are 5.2 million unemployed, an all time high in history, 10 million poor people, the rich account for just one percent of the population and its 99 percent are dregs of society and suicides top the world's list. This is a miserable situation of south Korea.

In that period south Korean society turned into rowdyism of fascism, graveyard of democracy and a horror-ridden land of darkness. Justice was suppressed by injustice, patriotism fell victim to treachery and the media were stifled.

Never have grievances and curses run so high in south Korea as in that period as irregularities and corruption of Lee and the "Saenuri Party" prevailed throughout their office.

It was their biggest crime that they have ruthlessly violated the north-south joint declarations and brought the north-south relations to a total collapse.

The group of traitors perpetrated such hideous provocation as insulting the compatriots in the north during the great loss to the nation and malignantly defamed the dignity of the supreme leadership of the DPRK. These crimes can never be pardoned.

The south Korean people should be most serious in exercising their suffrage in each "election." They should not allow such regime of traitors as the Lee Myung Bak regime to emerge again.

At a time when they are standing at the crossroads of whether they advance towards a bright future or go back to the past of darkness, they should not be taken in by lies of the traitors but put an end to the corrupt politics, the country-selling outdated politics.
