Ever-mounting Struggle
against the Regime
For probing
the truth about the ferry Sewol calamity

Plaza demanding the probe
of the truth about the ferry Sewol calamity.
Attending it

including the bereaved families, farmers, members of civic organizations and
citizens.
Speakers
there censured the chief executive for seeking to cover up the truth of the
disaster.
Though lots
of questions were arouse, nothing was clarified yet, so how can they stop the
struggle, they noted.
They asserted
that they can never make a safe society without probing the truth so they can
never retreat in the struggle for enacting a special law.

out to the struggle spreading throughout south Korea
and called on all the people for the continuing struggle till the truth is
probed.

Against the
regime’s move to open the rice market
The National
Federation of Peasants Associations and other farmers’ organizations in south Korea held a
rally in Seoul
on September 27 denouncing the puppet regime’s move to open the rice market.
They
criticized the regime saying that the total opening of rice market is little
short of renouncing agriculture.
They asserted
that the regime claims it would protect agriculture with high tariff, but it
cannot withstand the pressures from foreign countries.
They stressed
they would turn out in the struggle to check the opening of rice market in
order to defend the food sovereignty and the right to existence.
Prior to
this, the Korean Confederation of Trade Unions called a press conference in Seoul on September 24 in
which it announced a worker-peasant solidarity struggle to check the regime’s
move for opening the rice market.
Meanwhile,
farmers in Gwangju, South Jeolla
Province and other parts
launched struggles against the puppet regime’s move to open the rice market.
Workers’
struggle
On September
25, the Korean Confederation of Trade Unions clarified that it would wage the
struggle against the regime’s anti-people misrule.
It claimed
that it would fix the institution of a special law on the ferry Sewol calamity and gaining the rights to existence and
labor as the key aims for the present.
It noted that
it would conduct, in particular, an all-people struggle on November 1, the 200th
day since the Sewol disaster.
It stressed
it would also launch large-scale struggles to frustrate the privatization of
medical service and the revision of public servants’ pensions
