SEOUL: North Korea on Friday launched the latest in a series of vicious personal attacks on South Korean President Park Geun-Hye, describing her as a “matchless evil woman” intent on war.
The verbal assault from the Committee for the Peaceful Reunification of Korea (CPRK) followed Park’s participation last week in a nuclear security summit hosted by US President Barack Obama in Washington that condemned Pyongyang’s continued nuclear weapons push.
A CPRK spokesman said Park’s behaviour and comments at the summit resembled “the epileptic fit of a despicable confrontational maniac.”
Military tensions on the divided Korean peninsula have been rising since the North conducted its fourth nuclear test in January, and a long-range rocket launch a month later that was seen as a disguised ballistic missile test.
Friday’s statement, published by the official KCNA news agency, said Park’s insistence on the North abandoning its nuclear weapons programme proved she was “the worst blockhead, ignorant of how the world goes around.”
“The matchless evil woman pushed North-South relations to a total stalemate and increased the danger of a war,” it said, criticising her “dirty existence” and “rabid dog” behaviour.
