Statement on the shameful attacks by US imperialists and their henchmen against the DPRK

The Paektusan Czech-Korean Friendship Association and the Czech Group for the Study and Materialization of the Juche Idea are outraged by the escalation of hostilities by US imperialists and their henchmen against the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea, which is a thorn in the side of its enemies as a dignified independent socialist state.

The US imperialists have failed to fulfill any of their promises in negotiations with the DPRK’s top leadership, and by continuing pressure on unilateral disarmament and clinging to illegal sanctions, they have long thwarted the efforts of all progressive people across Korea and abroad for just peace on the Korean Peninsula and independent peaceful reunification.

After a short period of hypocrisy, the south Korean authorities once again act as a faithful puppet clique of their American masters and carry out other provocative joint military exercises against their compatriots with their occupying mercenaries. Číst dál →

Contribution of Comrade Alexander Velitš to the online seminar of the European Regional Society for the Study of the Juche Idea

Despite the high workload, vice-chairman of the Paektu Czech-Korean Friendship Association Comrade Alexander Velitš sent his contribution to the international electronic seminar of the European Regional Society for the Study of the Juche Idea, which held on October 24. The following is the full text:

It can be said that the last decade in Europe has been matked by chaos and social crisis. There is also talk of the so-called crisis of democracy. But what exactly is democracy? Democracy means the rule of the people, but if we look at the practice in capitalist countries, they are ruled by those who have money, then there is some „middle class“ and finally, there is a group of people living in poverty.

Democracy itself is not bad, but it must be the real government of the people and not the bourgeois theatre which pretend like democracy. The fact that a socialist regime is more democratic than the capitalist one is also evidenced by the fact that an ordinary worker or peasant gets into the council much easier than into the capitalist parliament. Because in the capitalist parliament, there are often people who do not know the normal conditions in society, they are detached from the people and are not able to react flexibly to social events, to fulfill the will of the citizens.

Dear Comrades,

a few days ago we celebrated 71 years since the establishment of the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea. I am very pleased that last year I was able to visit the DPRK and see the grand and beautiful celebrations of the 70th anniversary of the Republic.

The founding of the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea 71 years ago was the culmination of a more than 20-year-long struggle of the Korean people led by the great leader Comrade Kim Il Sung against the Japanese occupiers. As a result, the Korean people have finally gained their independence. Číst dál →

Speech of comrade Alexander Velitš on the occasion of the 70th founding anniversary of the DPRK

Dear comrades!

The Democratic People’s Republic of Korea is based on the principles of the Juche ideology, which is a brilliant ideology developed by the great leader Comrade Kim Il Sung. Thanks to his outstanding leadership, the pro-people policy of the Workers‘ Party of Korea, and people´s own creative power, the Korean nation has been able to build a strong and prosperous socialist country, despite many obstacles and an joyless international situation.

These days, the Korean people and all the world’s progressive people celebrate the beautiful 70th anniversary of the establishment of the DPRK. 70 years ago, Korean people finally obtain their own state after decades of oppression and Japanese occupation.

Fight out the independence has brought a happy life for the people of Korea under the loving care of the great leader Comrade Kim Il Sung and the Workers‘ Party of Korea. Even the very first constitution of the DPRK was very progressive, and it provided people with benefits that they had not even dreamed of before. Číst dál →

DPRK maintains its socialist nature, culture and ideology as the island of socialism and the beacon of communism

Recently, the eyes of the world have faded into the Korean Peninsula, where the atmosphere of confrontation is being released, and steps are being taken to the reunification of Korea. Two historic meetings took place between the respected Supreme Leader of the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea and the south Korean President. There is also a consolidation of relations with the United States.

It should be noted that these steps could only be achieved thanks to the leniency of the DPRK, a nuclear power, which has to be recognized by the world’s largest imperialist power.

The Korean people have suffered for nearly seven decades of dividing because the imperialist United States of America interfere into the affairs of the Korean nation. Since the struggle for peace is one of our most important goals, we welcome this effort, but at the same time, we must remind that the imperialists wish to take control of the DPRK without a single shot, in order to promote their interests, as they did it for example in former Czechoslovakia. That is why the Korean people must prevent the penetration of the decadent and shrewd imperialist ideology and culture into the DPRK.
