General Strikes Sweep Region of Puppets
Pyongyang, July 7 (KCNA) -- The struggle of people from all walks of life is getting fiercer day by day throughout the region of puppets to denounce the U.S. for bringing the crisis of a nuclear war to the Korean peninsula and to punish traitor Yoon Suk Yeol who is driving workers and other people to death through the fascist dictatorial rule while riding on the crest of the outsiders' scheme for supremacy.

The Seoul branch of the metal workers union under the Confederation of Trade Unions and other organizations held a gathering in Seoul on July 3 to wage an intensive anti-U.S. struggle.

Speakers there said that the root cause of the present worsening situation is the U.S. hostile policy toward the north and the Yoon Suk Yeol regime's servility to outsiders and confrontation moves, calling for further ramping up the struggle for independence against the U.S., for peace against war and for Yoon's resignation.

They highlighted the need to wage an active anti-U.S. struggle under the slogan for halt to interference by outsiders and withdrawal of the U.S. troops, along with the struggle for ousting Yoon.

The Korean peninsula peace action, formed with more than 700 civic and social organizations including the Citizens Solidarity for Democratic Society, held a press conference in Seoul on July 4 to declare that it would turn out in the struggle to oust traitor Yoon obsessed with confrontation with the fellow countrymen.

In a press release titled "We denounce Yoon Suk Yeol for escalating the war crisis!", the organization called upon all the people who oppose war and want to live in a peaceful world to vigorously turn out in the struggle for Yoon's resignation.

The general strike for ousting the Yoon Suk Yeol regime, started by the Confederation of Trade Unions on July 3, is gaining momentum.

Its Seoul Headquarters staged a candlelight rally and a signature-collection campaign in Seoul on July 4 to demand the resignation of traitor Yoon.

Numerous workers of the Seoul branch and the Sejong Chungnam Headquarters held a rally outside the puppet police agency's office on July 5, at which they said that the July workers' general strike for the resignation of traitor Yoon would end in victory.

The Taejon Headquarters, too, held a similar candlelight rally in Taejon.

Citizens in Wonju, Kangrung and Chunchon areas of south Korean Kangwon Province held a joint candlelight rally in Wonju on July 2 to declare that they would force traitor Yoon to step down by their concerted efforts.

The news of such struggles has been reported every day by media.
