Kim Yong Ho, chairman of the Federation of Peasants Associations, said the participants in the all-out people's action branded as "group of terrorists" by the chief executive were peasants who have farmed for several decades suffering heavy losses, part-time workers and citizens opposed to the "state-compiled" history textbook.

Pak Sok Un, co-representative of the Solidarity for Progress of south Korea, said the "president's" reckless labeling of protesters as "group of terrorists" was insult to the people and nonsense.

A press release was read out there.

It said that the "government" branded the all-out people's action as a "violent demo" before its start and was busy with spreading false stories and set up barricades to block the peaceful march, firing water cannons at them.

What matters is the "president" knows nothing about human ethnics and impartiality, the press release deplored, urging her to properly know she is not a ruler reigning over the people.
