Actions against the Conclusion of the US-ROK Free Trade Agreement
started in South Korea


The south Korean Headquarters of the All-People Movement for Checking the Conclusion of the south Korea-U.S. Free Trade Agreement held a press conference in Seoul on December 6 declaring actions against the puppet group's conclusion of the south Korea-U.S. FTA.

Speakers there accused the authorities of clinching the additional negotiations with the U.S. for the conclusion of FTA, ignoring the desire of the people.

Charging that FTA would bring unilateral benefits to the U.S. only, they questioned the authorities why did they need to have such negotiations for drain on resources.

They accused the "government" of concealing particularly the fact that it had even the negotiations on the import of U.S. beef infected with mad cow disease.

Terming the recent negotiations a fraudulent farce jointly orchestrated by Lee Myung Bak and the U.S. chief executive, they declared they would stage widespread actions against the conclusion of FTA in solidarity with the people from all walks of life.
