North Korea “A passionate heart devoted to the construction site in Seopo”… agitation for resident support

Amid the three months since the groundbreaking ceremony for the new street in Seopo, Pyongyang, the North Korean media is creating an atmosphere of voluntary support for national construction by introducing residents who have sent aid to the construction site.

On the 23rd, the Rodong Sinmun, the official newspaper of the Workers’ Party of Korea, published an article titled “A Passionate Heart Dedicated to the New Street Construction Site in Seopo District” on page 4. It continues to be demonstrated,” he reported.

The newspaper said, “Women’s Union workers in Xi’an, including Comrade Hong Chun-ok, chairman of the Sariwon City Women’s Union Committee, and members of the Women’s Union visited the construction site with a lot of supplies prepared a while ago.” I did not forget the expectations of the mothers of the family and earnestly asked the respected comrade General Secretary (Chairman Kim Jong-un) to give me a report of victory.”

In addition, the newspaper said, “Many workers, including Jeon Soon-young, a worker at a basic food factory in Gyeongwon-gun, and Comrade Lee Young-hwa, a worker at Dongseo Advanced Middle School in Seungho-gun, are storm troopers who are devoting themselves to the future of Pyongyang, although their hearts may always become more grand and splendid.” He said that he was with him and sent daily necessities and groceries prepared with sincerity at home.”

At the same time, the newspaper said, “The patriotic enthusiasm of the people of the whole country, who connect their hearts to the new street construction site in the Seopo district and give their all to rise as a transformative entity of a revival powerhouse in this way, is the wisdom and wisdom of youth and It is further doubling the fighting spirit of the builders who are dedicating their courage.”

The fact that North Korea introduced cases by citing the real names of the residents who sent aid materials to the construction site in Seopo is interpreted as an attempt to induce support from residents for the construction project in progress at the state level.

However, according to Dong-A Ilbo’s coverage, North Korean residents are expressing great dissatisfaction with the authorities’ demand for construction site support materials.
