At the press conference speakers accused the present chief executive of trying to sell off the food sovereignty of this land through the opening of rice market.

The present regime is a dictatorial one which declared a fight against the peasants, defying their strong demand, they said, declaring they would stage a dynamic action to defend the food sovereignty.

Enraged to hear the news that the regime made a decision to totally open the rice market of south Korea, the peasants staged a fierce demonstration to storm the "government" building.

They branded the "government's" decision as an act of treachery.

The opening of the rice market means bringing profits to the plutocrats at the sacrifice of the peasantry, they charged.

They declared they would wage positive actions in solidarity with people of various circles against the avarice of the present regime and plutocrats.
