[Asia Economy Reporter Lee Ji-eun] The United Future Party criticized the South-North Joint Liaison Office's destruction by North Korea, stating that "the current government's conciliatory policy toward North Korea has ended in failure."

Bae Jun-young, spokesperson for the United Future Party, said in a statement on the 16th, "The military threats that Kim Yo-jong, the first deputy director of the North Korean Workers' Party, had been issuing under the pretext of leaflet distribution against North Korea have become a reality."

Spokesperson Bae said, "North Korea's military threats and intimidation have become a reality," adding, "This may just be the beginning. Without any strategy, we have been trapped in the illusion of peace and dragged along, causing us to bring about our own security anxiety."

He said, "We have now reached a point where we must worry about greater military provocations beyond threats and intimidation, as well as the potential direct harm to our citizens," and added, "The government must seriously recognize the current situation and take to heart the fact that North Korea has defined us not as compatriots but as enemies."

Spokesperson Bae stated, "Since North Korea's threats have been carried out through actions rather than words, the military authorities and the government must prepare thoroughly with extraordinary resolve," and concluded, "The United Future Party will do its utmost to protect the lives and property of the people."
