General Strike Called for in S. Korea
Pyongyang, December 23 (KCNA) -- The south Korea Solidarity for Independent Reunification and Democracy made public a statement titled "Let's put an end to Park Geun Hye through general strike, all-out action!" on Dec. 19.

The three years of office of the present chief executive through election rigging have been days in hell for the masses, the statement said, and went on:

Household debt has steadily increased and retrogressive revision of labor law and the conclusion of FTA with outsiders have deteriorated the lives of workers and peasants.

The truth about the ferry Sewol disaster has not been probed though 600 days have passed since then.

The regime pushed the hard-won south-north authorities' talks to a rupture.

It is cracking down on general strike by the use of all suppression means after designating the people as "terrorists."

The regime and the "Saenuri Party" defined the present situation in which the bill on labor reform, bill on economy, bill against terrorism and "bill on human rights in the north" have not been passed as "emergency".

The statement called for a strong action to put an end to the undemocratic and unpopular regime.
