S. Korean Authorities Accused of Their Humiliating Action
Pyongyang, April 27 (KCNA) -- The People for Achieving Peace and Reunification in south Korea held a press conference in Seoul on Wednesday at which it accused the "government" authorities of their humiliating action.

It accused the U.S. forces in south Korea of diverting the upkeep of the U.S forces to the purpose of building a museum of the U.S. Second Division, a restaurant in the U.S. military base in Ryongsan, etc.

The U.S. is pressurizing south Korea to increase 50 percent of its share of the upkeep of the U.S. forces in south Korea under an unreasonable pretext, it charged.

If this is allowed, the south Korean people's burden will swell by over 1,000 billion won, it deplored.

It accused the south Korean "government" of remaining an onlooker to the unreasonable use of the upkeep of the U.S. forces collected as taxes from the people.

It demanded the authorities totally take back the upkeep unreasonably used, away from their humiliating attitude.

It urged them to stop negotiations on the upkeep of the U.S. forces to meet U.S. interests, and scrap the special agreement on sharing their upkeep.
