News N. Korea: S. Koreans compare their government to HitlerNo evidence for trend of Nazi comparisons found in South Korean political, media discourse
North Korea’s state-run Rodong Sinmun newspaper on Wednesday claimed that many South Koreans citizens are comparing their President Park Geun-hye and the ruling Saenuri party to Nazis. The newspaper included a number of “quotes” – which could not be corroborated as coming from any South Korean outlet – from South Koreans referring to their president as “Parktler” and her party as the “Sae-Nazi” party. The Rodong also said that the South Korean government’s attempt to pass on fake information against North Korea reminded them of Joseph Goebbels, the minister of propaganda in Nazi Germany.
