Yasukuni in Korea

According to the Chosun Ilbo, the leadership of the KCTU visited all three of North Korea’s “revolutionary holy spots” during a visit in August 1999, despite South Korea’s National Security Law banning visits to such shrines.*


The KCTU unification committee chairman said the union leaders “paid the visit to the cemetery since North Korea kept asking us to do so. And we concluded that the visit would not be problematic because the cemetery honors not only communist revolutionary martyrs but also those who fought against Japan’s colonial rule. I don’t understand why the visit is causing such a controversy.” Jin added the government’s ban on visits to the cemetery is vague, inconsistent and arbitrary.Marmot


韓国政府の偽善ぶりが露呈されてきています。
日本国内で参拝の是非があるにしても、もともと韓国には関係のない話しです。
参拝肯定論者は自らの正当性あるいは、批判者の不当性を積極的に対外的に主張すべきだと思います。
