野 "Demand to Reassess Moon Jae-in Government's North Korea Policy... Must Escape Rose-Colored Illusions"

[Asia Economy Reporter Naju-seok] The People Power Party has demanded a comprehensive reexamination of the Moon Jae-in administration's North Korea policy.

On the 15th, Hwang Bo-seung-hee, the chief spokesperson of the People Power Party, made this statement on the occasion of the 21st anniversary of the June 15 Joint Declaration. Chief Deputy Spokesperson Hwang said, "Today marks the 21st anniversary of the June 15 North-South Joint Declaration, but thanks to this administration that deliberately ignores the harsh reality facing the Korean Peninsula, the clock of peace is actually moving backward. We crossed the Dorbodari Bridge and fell into a dream as if peace would come at any moment, but North Korea's determination to develop nuclear weapons has never been broken, and inter-Korean relations have rather repeatedly regressed. Looking back, the past year was the most humiliating year in the history of inter-Korean relations," he criticized.

He listed incidents such as the demolition of the Inter-Korean Joint Liaison Office, the killing of a public official who went missing at sea near Yeonpyeong Island, shootings at the GP, and the unauthorized discharge from the Hwanggang Dam.

Chief Spokesperson Hwang criticized, "The government failed to obtain a proper apology each time and instead hastily defended North Korea by saying it was an 'unavoidable measure' or 'not a violation of the military agreement.' Furthermore, they pushed forward the so-called 'Kim Yo-jong Command Law' at the mere word of North Korea's Kim Yo-jong, suppressing the freedom of expression of our people."

He emphasized, "It is time to break free from the rosy illusions and face reality, and to thoroughly reexamine the North Korea policy filled only with empty rhetoric. It is said that 'peace begins with me.' Without a firm sense of security and defense capability to protect oneself, and a change in attitude to move away from a submissive stance toward North Korea, peace cannot be expected."
