Kim Jong-un publicly apologized for his government failures during the Covid-19 pandemic.
The North Korean leader regretted that he could not “free the people from hardship” and had to remove his glasses to wipe his tears during a speech at the ceremony marking the 75th anniversary of the Workers’ Party.
“Our people have placed their trust in me, as high as the sky and as deep as the sea, but I failed because I was not up to it. I am very sorry,” Kim Jong-un was quoted as saying by the official news agency. KCNA of North Korea.
This month, the North Korean leader ordered an 80-day campaign to relaunch the economy in the wake of recent floods, international sanctions, and in a context of the Covid-19 pandemic, which helped further weaken the isolated country’s already in crisis economy. . .
Mass mobilization campaigns to demand that North Koreans work overtime and take on new tasks are frequent in the country.
In Korean they are called “battles”, a term used by KCNA in Korean, although in the English version the news agency writes “campaign”.
