Rodong Sinmun Tuesday observes in a commentary:

This is an insult to the south Koreans in their actions for democracy and an unpardonable provocation to the DPRK.

Fierce anti-"government" actions broke out recently in south Korea entirely because the puppet conservative forces committed election rigging during the last "presidential" election with the IS and other power bodies involved.

It is the puppet forces which interfere in the internal affairs of others. They malignantly defame the dignity and social system in the DPRK, letting loose a whole string of jargons about someone's "changes" whenever an opportunity presents itself.

The ulterior aims sought by them in making such ballyhoo is to mislead public opinion by creating impression that the above-said popular actions were staged at the "instruction of the north" and suppress and stamp out the progressive and democratic forces by labeling them as "forces following the north".

The DPRK will never remain a passive onlooker to the racket for eliminating "forces following the north" by groundlessly linking them to it but stand by the south Koreans in their actions for democracy and national reunification and positively support and encourage their righteous struggle.
