Struggle for Settlement of Past Called for

Korean Central News Agency of DPRK via Korea News Service (KNS)

    Pyongyang, January 16 (KCNA) -- The drive for the settlement of the past in south Korea represents acute confrontation between progressive and conservative forces and between pro-reunification patriotic forces and anti-reunification traitorous forces, says Rodong Sinmun Monday in a signed article. Calling on the south Koreans to unite as one in order to win a victory in this drive for the nation and justice, the article goes on: The drive is one to put an end to the outsiders' domination and interference and retake the usurped dignity and sovereignty of the nation. The south Koreans from all walks of life should keep the flaring flame of the struggle for independence against the U.S. to put an end to its cursed occupation and rule. All the crimes of the U.S. imperialists who have infringed upon the sovereignty and democracy of the south Korean people and inflicted all sorts of misfortune and disaster upon them while instigating the fascist dictatorial regimes to confrontation and war with the north during their 60 odd-year long occupation of south Korea should be settled without fail.
    The drive for the settlement of the past is a struggle to settle accounts with all the crimes the successive fascist dictators and traitors related to the "Grand National Party" have committed following the evil habit of flunkeyism, treachery and fascist dictatorship against reunification. The crimes committed by those traitors from the Syngman Rhee regime framed up by the U.S. imperialists in south Korea right after Aug. 15 liberation of Korea, the "Yusin" dictatorial regime, the fifth and the sixth republics to the "civilian government" were anti-people, anti-national and anti-reunification treacheries which can never be pardoned. The repetition of the past can never be checked unless the wrong past is liquidated. The drive for the settlement of the past in south Korea is one to ostracize the GNP, a traitorous political party.
    It is impossible to realize the long-cherished desire of the south Koreans to liquidate the fascist dictatorship and materialize democratic politics as long as the GNP, the descendent of the successive traitorous regimes that had committed all sorts of anti-people and anti-national crimes, regarding flunkeyism, treachery, fascism and division as their way of existence, is left intact. If the GNP comes to power in south Korea it would be impossible to check the repetition of such a medieval age of darkness as that of "Yusin" dictatorship, much less expecting any progress in the movement for national reunification. All the parties, factions and people of all social standings in south Korea desirous of progress, patriotism and reunification should closely unite and solidarize to wage a joint struggle and take a joint action for the settlement of the past to the last and thus build an independent and democratic new society free from domination, treachery and fascism in south Korea without fail.
