Dec. 21 (Asia Today) -- People Power Party leader Jang Dong-hyuk criticized President Lee Jae-myung's approach to North Korea on Sunday, saying it was "not peaceful reunification" but a "white-flag surrender" and "submission."
Jang made the remarks in a Facebook post, writing, "Submission is not peace."
He said Lee, shortly after taking office, halted broadcasts to North Korea that he said had continued for 50 years. Jang also criticized Lee for saying he wanted to apologize to North Korea over leaflet campaigns, arguing the stance would upset South Koreans.
Jang said Lee also argued against blocking South Korean citizens from accessing North Korea's Rodong Sinmun newspaper.
"The president, who should uphold the Constitution, is defying the spirit of free democratic peaceful unification that the Constitution aims for," Jang wrote.
