[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Hye-min] On the 7th, the United Future Party criticized the South Korean government for promptly expressing its intention to propose a bill after North Korea protested against the distribution of leaflets to North Korea by defector organizations, saying, "Our government, busy watching North Korea's mood, is exactly which country's government?"

Spokesperson Kim Eun-hye said in a statement that day, "When Kim Yo-jong ordered 'Let there be a law,' the government and ruling party responded with diligence by submitting the 'government bill' intention within about four hours. Although the purpose of the bill was ridiculed as a 'fall cuckoo,' I have never heard that they fought back," she said.

She added, "Since the pressure worked, North Korea must have rejoiced," and criticized, "At this opportunity, 10 billion won of taxpayers' money is being invested, and this year, 6.4 billion won has been budgeted for the symbol of 'one-sided love for North Korea,' the Inter-Korean Joint Liaison Office, which is being demanded to be closed and turned into a means of threat."

Spokesperson Kim emphasized, "Kim Yo-jong, who shyly invited the 'President' two years ago, and Kim Yo-jong, who criticized that president as 'the 0 who pretends not to see,' are the same person," and said, "The palm that shook hands can be used as a tool for a strike at any time."

She added, "No one opposes peace on the Korean Peninsula. However, the clear fact is that peace is not achieved through submission."

Spokesperson Kim urged, "With a consistently low posture that hurts the pride of the Republic of Korea government and its people, neither peace nor denuclearization can be expedited," and said, "North Korea, which threatened security on the Korean Peninsula with brinkmanship tactics decades ago, has not changed. The government must announce a clear and confident policy toward North Korea."
