Let Us Check the Import of American Beef by Struggle

While the struggle is getting intensified against the treacherous overall opening of market to American beef by traitor Lee Myung Bak, the People's Measure Council to Oppose the Overall Import of American Beef involving some 1,500 political parties and civic organizations of south Korea was formed in Seoul on May 6.

Participants in the inaugural ceremony expressed their resolve to more vigorously conduct the all-people campaign to safeguard the people's life and health in the teeth of traitor Lee Myung Bak’s moves of overall import of American beef.

They declared that they would intensify anti-government struggles including candlelit rallies and signature campaign to demand total nullification of the negotiations on beef and a renegotiation, and for enacting a special law at the “National Assembly”.

Meanwhile, student organizations in the Seoul area held a press conference at Yeunse University on May 7 and declared that they would intensively conduct the struggle against the import of American beef. They indicated that they would form the “Emergency Association of the Students in the Seoul Area”, irrespective of their differing ideology, political viewpoint and affiliation, set up a body to check the import of American beef in every university to rally students around it, stage an 800,000 student signature campaign in the Seoul area, campus rally and candlelit rally. They also clarified that they would conduct colorful information services including lectures and video shows to divulge the impropriety of the import of American beef.

On May 9, with the ever mounting worry and fear over mad cow disease, and the curse and condemnation of traitor Lee Myung Bak hell-bent on import of mad cow, large-scale candlelit rallies were held in over 30 provinces, cities and counties across south Korea with some 80,000 people from different social standings attending.

Participants in the rallies indicated that stock-breeders committed suicide one after another in protest against opening market to American beef, nevertheless, the Lee Myung Bak regime is intensifying crackdown upon the people's struggle clamoring about “behind-scene manipulator”, instead of taking any measures. They gave vent to their soaring anger at the acts of the regime which derides the people saying about “stopping import” and “taking measure” if a threat arises to the people's health.

The participants staged anti-government struggle shouting slogans such as “We oppose mad cow. Totally repeal the import!”, holding a candlelight in one hand and a white ribbon bound around the other hand signifying total annulment of negotiations on beef.

Now the traitor Lee Myung Bak gentries are suffering severe governance crisis due to their pro-US sycophancy and anti-nation treachery and their support rate dropped well bellow 20% by virtue of the vigorous anti-government struggle of the south Korean people.

The south Korean people are already disillusioned at traitor Lee Myung Bak and began to turn back on him.

As the history shows those who are forsaken by the people cannot escape from miserable fate.

The AINDF and the patriotic south Korean people will deal a stern blow to traitor Lee Myung Bak who is frenzied in anti-nation treacherous acts swimming against the trend of the independent reunification era.
