Hong Jun-pyo: "Moon Administration Only Recognized North Korea as a 'Nuclear-Armed State'"
"They pushed me as a foul-mouthed person... Truly unfair and frustrating"
[Asia Economy Reporter Lim Chun-han] Hong Joon-pyo, former leader of the Liberty Korea Party, stated on the 17th regarding North Korea's demolition of the inter-Korean liaison office, "Over the past three years, the Moon Jae-in administration's North Korea policy has done nothing but make North Korea a normal state and recognize it as a nuclear-armed country," adding, "It's time to return to normal."
On the same day, Hong said on Facebook, "They deceived the public by saying peace is the economy, and now that peace is gone, will they say the economy has collapsed because of North Korea?" He called it "a government with no answers and only excuses."
Hong also said, "Two years ago, when I claimed that the inter-Korean and North Korea-US summits were disguised peace talks, the incompetent politicians from both ruling and opposition parties, newspapers, broadcasters, and even incompetent comedians mobilized to label me a foul-mouthed person and petitioned the Blue House to expel me from politics. I wonder what those people are thinking these days," he said.
