KCNA Commentary Condemns S. Korean Conservatives' Scheme to Stay in Power

Pyongyang, May 3 (KCNA) -- The south Korean group of conservatives cries out for "retaking power", cheating the public under the spurious signboard of "reasonable and pure conservatism" ahead of the imminent "presidential" election. The "Liberal Korea Party" and the "Parun Party" have buckled down to taking initiative, trading insults with each other though they originated from the former "Saenuri" Party. They are making last-ditch efforts, talking about "great unity of conservatives" and "single candidate from conservative parties" in a bid to prevent the opposition forces from taking power. This is a clear proof of the desperate efforts of the remnants of the pro-Park Geun Hye cult to prolong their remaining days and stay in power though they are on the verge of ruin after being sternly punished by history. Conservatism in south Korea just serves as a "lever for preserving interests" only as it has neither philosophy nor political view, not being the one as thought and ideology. Shortly ago, Hong Jun Phyo, "presidential candidate" from the "Liberal Korea Party" openly cried out for "introducing tactical nuclear weapons", welcoming THAAD deployment. What he uttered are just reckless outbursts of a thrice-cursed traitor seized with the conservative ill habit of escalating confrontation with the compatriots in the north. It is quite natural that if such conservative elements stay in power, the north-south relations already plunged into a catastrophe will come to total collapse and the Korean territory will turn into a theater of nuclear war of outsiders. The conservative group is just dregs of the times and reactionary one of history as it goes against the trend of times. To eliminate the hateful conservative remnants to the last one is the only way out for the south Korean people. -0-
