「韓国の大統領選挙」に言及しない北朝鮮…韓国政府「背景に『統一消去』」
North Korea makes no mention of the South Korean presidential election... South Korean government: ”Unification erasure is the background”
With the 21st presidential election just around the corner (the 3rd), North Korea has not made any special comments. The South Korean government has responded by saying that the trend of "eliminating unification" has intensified within North Korea and that the political situation in South Korea is
On the 2nd, South Korean Ministry of Unification spokesman Ku Byung-sam said, "North Korea has not made any official comments regarding the presidential elections."
"This is thought to be because at the end of 2013, the government declared that North and South Korea were "two hostile nations," and a process of erasing unification is underway in many areas."
"Until now, North Korea has confirmed the results of the presidential election through official media within three days, focusing on the facts," said spokesman Ku.
"However, as tomorrow's presidential election is the first to be held since the two countries declared hostile relations, it is difficult to predict when and how the results will be reported," he added.
In 2023, Kim Jong Eun, chairman of the State Affairs Commission (General Secretary of the Workers' Party of Korea), defined the relationship between North and South Korea as "two hostile nations," and in January last year, he said, "We will pursue 'unification,' 'reconciliation,' and 'reconciliation from the history of our nation.
After that, North Korea removed the "Monument for the Three Charters for the Reunification of the Fatherland," abolished related laws such as the Inter-Korean Economic Cooperation Act, and canceled the national anthem "Sanzai-ri."
The changes to the lyrics and the removal of "unification" from the name of the "Tongil Station" on the Pyongyang subway appear to erase the concepts of unity, reconciliation and oneness.
