Park Geun Hye's "Talk to People" Slammed
Pyongyang, May 24 (KCNA) -- The Solidarity for Progress of south Korea in a commentary on May 20 disclosed the absurdity of the deceptive "talk to the people" made by Park Geun Hye.

The commentary accused Park of talking about the disbandment of the Maritime Police Agency as a measure regarding the Sewol disaster in the talk on May 19.

This proves that Chongwadae is still concerned only for tiding over ruling crisis, rather than bringing the accident under control, the commentary said, and went on:

Park made no mention of how she will take responsibility which casts doubts as to whether she is going to call to task the ferry management enterprise and the maritime police.

If the "government" does not take responsibility, the disbandment of the Maritime Police Agency will be like changing just the sign.

In the talk Park tried to give impression that the slow progress made in the efforts for "three-year plan for economic renovation" and "normalizing things abnormal" led to the accident.

As was already disclosed, the step of easing the regulations taken by the Ministry of Maritime Fisheries right before the ferry Sewol disaster contained regulations on vessel security as part of the above-mentioned three-year plan and normalization step.

In the long run, these plans the keynote of which is easing the regulations became the cause of the tragedy. It is a contradiction that she is set to push forward those plans as a measure for preventing disasters.

For the proper solution to the Sewol disaster issue, it is imperative for the authorities to form a fact-finding committee comprising the bereaved families immediately within this month and promise the prevention of the recurrence of similar accidents.

The commentary declared that the organization will honor the memory of the victims and strive for the probe into the truth behind the accident.
