Consequences of Treacherous FTA Exposed in S. Korea
Pyongyang, March 31 (KCNA) -- At least 30 organizations of south Korea including the Federation of Peasants Associations, the Women's Solidarity, the Confederation of Trade Unions and the South Headquarters of the Pan-national Alliance for Korea's Reunification released a joint commentary on March 26 to expose the consequences entailed by the "Free Trade Agreement" with the U.S.

Referring to the fact that one year has passed since the U.S-south Korea FTA took effect, the commentary said that the problems the people were concerned about have been revealed during the period.

The "government" told to the public that south Korea's export to the U.S. hit a record level but in fact it has not reached half before the conclusion of FTA, the commentary noted, and went on:

Various fields have been suffered from difficulties due to the brigandish demand of U.S. businesses. South Korea has thus been deluged with American agricultural products, posing big threats to the existence of the south Korean peasants.

The "government", far from making a serious reflection on this, is seeking to conclude FTA with Japan and other countries.

The authorities will face people's resistance in case they do not stop the negotiations at once.
