[Asia Economy Reporter Kwon Seoyoung] Former lawmaker Na Kyung-won raised her voice of criticism against Lee Jae-myung, the Democratic Party presidential candidate, regarding his stance on the declaration of the end of the war, saying it would become a "deteriorated Moon Jae-in government."

On the 12th, former lawmaker Na wrote on her Facebook, "Candidate Lee said that we should actively push for an unconditional declaration of the end of the war without any change in the Moon administration's position on North Korea's nuclear issue. A few days ago, he pressured presidential candidate Yoon Seok-youl to agree, and today he suddenly says that opposing an unconditional declaration of the end of the war is pro-Japanese," expressing her view.

Na said, "It's really pitiful," adding, "The Moon administration's 'North Korea obsession' has continued from the Panmunjom summit, the September 19 inter-Korean military agreement, to the push for a declaration of the end of the war at the end of its term."

She also criticized, "Not only officials from the State Council but also members of the U.S. Senate and House of Representatives were more interested in how to achieve economic security by building a robust global supply chain in the era of industrial restructuring rather than North Korean nuclear or North Korea issues," and added, "Our government is only begging for a declaration of the end of the war, which looks like the late Joseon dynasty's isolationist policy, showing no interest in how the international community is changing and obsessing solely over inter-Korean issues."

She continued, "Candidate Lee and the Moon administration say that the declaration of the end of the war is the gateway to peace," and pointed out, "They want to create a great picture at the Beijing Winter Olympics, saying that only then can the end of the war between the two Koreas and the maintenance of peace be possible, and that foreign investment will be more actively made." However, former lawmaker Na said, "It's just a fantastic story," and emphasized, "The declaration of the end of the war between the two Koreas should be made. But an unconditional declaration of the end of the war should not be made."

Na argued, "It is obvious that an unconditional declaration of the end of the war will not bring peace, and after that, the division of public opinion in the Republic of Korea will be clear," explaining, "Because the leftists will claim that the basis for the U.S. troops stationed in Korea has disappeared due to the declaration of the end of the war and will bring up the withdrawal of U.S. troops." She also explained, "There are many reasons why candidate Lee should not become president, but one of them is that he could become even more obsessed with North Korea than the Moon administration."
