Rodong Sinmun Urges Progressive Forces in S. Korea to Get Awakened and Unite
Pyongyang, September 29 (KCNA) -- South Koreans of different social standings desirous of social progress and reforms and new politics and new life should get awakened and unite, Rodong Sinmun Saturday says in a bylined article.

It goes on:

It is the vital requirement of the south Korean people to put forward the political forces which work hard to positively improve the north-south relations as required by the trend of the times and the will of the Korean nation.

The issue of the inter-Korean relations can never be repaired under the present conditions. A definite end should be put to the political landscape in south Korea where confrontation maniacs are riding roughshod, wielding their power, and to the confrontation policy going against the trend of the times. A good opportunity of choice is coming close to the south Korean people once again.

It is an important way for the progressive forces in south Korea to unite in order to prevent the "Saenuri Party" from staying in power.

The conservative group of south Korea in the grip of the worst crisis is desperately working to stay in power, staking its fate on it.

Unity is the key to meeting challenge of the "Saenuri Party" and ensuring the victory of the progressive forces.

Now the Democratic Unified Party, progressives and broad strata of south Korean people hope to bring about a regime change by blocking the stay of the "Saenuri Party" in power.

It is the wishes of broad segments of people to see a single candidate of the opposition camp in south Korea. Following mindset of people will lead to success, but going against it will fail.

Candidates of the opposition camp in south Korea may vary in their political views and isms, but they have a common purpose in checking the conservative regime's stay in power.

Unity is the only way for opposition candidates to realize their desire and purposes. All the progressives of south Korea should put aside differences for the common purpose and boldly choose the road of unity.
