Struggle Launched in S. Korea to Urge Park Geun Hye's Resignation
Pyongyang, November 25 (KCNA) -- The Council for Proper Settlement of the Past, grouping civic and public organizations in south Korea, called a press conference in Seoul on Nov. 23 to denounce the "Park Geun Hye and Choe Sun Sil scandal" and demand Park Geun Hye's resignation.

The organization said in a press release that those forces who monopolized the "state affairs" should be punished and hit the prosecution for reducing the case to the scandal of some individuals.

It noted that the first investigation results on the "Park Geun Hye and Choe Sun Sil scandal", published by the prosecution, confirmed the truth that Park Geun Hye demanded the fund-raising for establishing the Mir and K Sports foundations and was chiefly responsible for the leakage of various kinds of secrets.

On the same day, political parties and civic organizations staged an action demanding Park Geun Hye's resignation and thorough-going investigation into the scandal.

The Taejon Headquarters of the South Side Committee for Implementing June 15 Joint Declaration held a press conference before the Girl Statue for Peace in Taejon to urge the nullification of a military intelligence sharing agreement with Japan as well as the resignation of Park Geun Hye.

The opposition Minju Party formed the Jeju Island and South Kyongsang Provincial branch of the headquarters of people's sovereignty movement, urging the Park Geun Hye's regime to step down.
