Commenting on this, Rodong Sinmun Sunday terms the attempt a crime of going against the desire and will of the entire nation to open a broad avenue to independent reunification by its concerted efforts.

It is the unanimous demand of the nation that the south Korean authorities should accept the DPRK's patriotic appeal and sincere proposal for the national unity and reunification and come out for the improvement of the north-south relations and detente, the paper says, and goes on:

However, the south Korean puppet regime has revealed its sinister scheme to steadily enforce Park Geun Hye's anti-national "policy toward the north" by making such reckless remarks as "keeping the basic content" and "sticking to the principle" while running amuck in the confrontational racket against the DPRK in collusion with foreign forces from the outset of the year.

This is a blatant challenge to the nation who has risen up to put an end to the confrontational era created by the group of traitors and open a new phase for the improved north-south relations and the independent reunification.

As such rascals, who are dead-set against the nation's aspiration for reunification and get hell-bent on the confrontation with fellow countrymen, stay in power in south Korea, the north-south relations are bogged down in catastrophe and the nuclear war crisis is escalating.

Clear is the conclusion drawn from this. In order to put an end to the confrontational era and open a new phase for the improvement of the north-south relations and independent reunification, it is urgent to wipe out the puppet conservative group running amuck to do harm to the fellow countrymen with the backing of foreign forces.
