KCNA Raps Ultra Right Conservatives' Rowdyism in S. Korea

KCNA

    Pyongyang, October 24 (KCNA) -- South Korean ultra right conservative forces have become all the more undisguised in their provocations to the north under the back-stage manipulation of the United States and at the tacit connivance of the authorities. In the heart of Seoul on Oct. 21 at least 70 gangsters of the ultra right conservative organization again staged such extremely provocative rowdyism as burning a DPRK flag, clamoring for troop dispatch to Iraq and "closer alliance" with the U.S.
    Gangsters including the right-wing conservatives of the "Grand National Party" kicked up similar rowdyism in Seoul and Taegu in August last in a bid to bedevil the inter-Korean relations. At that time the north denounced it as a grave provocation slandering and hurting the dignity and authority of the DPRK and an anti-national criminal act of ditching the June 15 joint declaration and made it clear that such acts were committed at the tacit connivance of the south Korean authorities. And the north demanded the south Korean authorities make an apology for this and take responsible steps to prevent the recurrence of the provocation.
    The north side also proposed measures to prevent acts contrary to the joint declaration at the 12th north-south ministerial talks held in Pyongyang.
    Nevertheless, such grave provocation was committed again in broad daylight against the north. This was attributable to the manipulation of the south Korean right-wing conservatives supporting the ever more pronounced U.S. moves to stifle the DPRK. It is also ascribable to the south Korean authorities toeing the U.S. line blindly and their insincere stand and attitude toward the basic spirit of the joint declaration.
    If the U.S. and the south Korean right-wing conservatives continue to act rashly, misjudging the will and efforts of the DPRK to ensure peace and stability on the Korean peninsula, they will have to pay dearly for their acts.
