Strengthened People's Power Called for

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

   Pyongyang, July 23 (KCNA) -- The people's power of the DPRK serves as a powerful weapon for building a socialist economic power as the work of mobilizing popular masses to socialist construction is being carried out by the people's power under the leadership of the Workers' Party of Korea.
    Rodong Sinmun Monday says this in a signed article.
    It goes on:
    The DPRK's people's power is the invincible socialist power which was built and has grown strong under the leadership of President Kim Il Sung and Kim Jong Il.
    The President, who set a brilliant example in settling the issue of power in the era of independence on the basis of the Juche idea in his early years, always exerted great efforts for the development of the people's power in the whole course of leading the revolution and construction.
    The tested leadership of Kim Jong Il has become a basic source of strength that made it possible for the people's power to steadily develop into the socialist power most solid and most viable. It is Kim Jong Il who has energetically led the people's power to firmly preserve its character as a socialist power centering on the popular masses guided by the Juche idea and creditably perform its mission and role as a representative of independent rights of people, organizer of their creative ability and activities, householder in charge of people's living and protector of their interests. It is the outstanding exploit performed by Kim Jong Il in carrying out the cause of socialism and the field of power construction that he has developed the people's power as a powerful political weapon of the Songun revolution holding Kim Il Sung in high esteem as the eternal President of the DPRK.
    Strengthening the people's power is the basic demand for fully realizing the Party's leadership over the economic construction and an important requirement for bringing about uninterrupted surge in economic construction by giving full play to the revolutionary zeal and creative ingenuity of all the people. It also provides an important guarantee for frustrating the moves of the U.S. imperialists against the DPRK and strictly abiding by the revolutionary principle and working class principle in the economic construction.
