KCTU Conducts Anti-American Protest in Busan Directed Towards US Navy Sailors

The Korean Confederation of Trade Unions (KCTU) has been emboldened ever since the Korean left was able to impeach President Park.  So them protesting the US Navy personnel in Busan is not surprising:

Pictures of an anti-U.S. protest rally in South Korea spread online, causing concern ahead of U.S.President Donald Trump’s state visit to the country next month.

The rally was led by the Korean Confederation of Trade Unions (KCTU), the country’s second-largest umbrella trade union. Near a Busan hotel where the U.S. Navy held a party to celebrate its 242-year history Oct. 14, protesters chanted messages like “U.S. troops go home!”

Since then, photos and a video of their protest have been shared by thousands of people on social media, including U.S. sailors and their families.

In their propaganda pamphlet to the sailors, they said, “Koreans despise dotard Trump. We also abhor you, his servants. It is because you are a war monster.”

A 35-second video, which is believed to have been filmed by a U.S. sailor on the same day, shows a Korean woman screaming and cursing at U.S. soldiers.

The KCTU, which has carried out anti-U.S. protests before, also criticized local police on its Facebook and Twitter accounts for protecting the sailors from protesters.

The pictures, video and the KCTU’s messages aroused anger among many Americans as well as Koreans. [Korea Times]
