The Mitte district office said in a statement Tuesday that the order to remove “The Statue of Peace” by Wednesday was no longer applicable due to an injunction filed by local civic group Korea Verband, which brands itself as a platform for all who are interested in Korea.
“We will take time to thoroughly study the positions of all parties involved in this complex dispute, as well as our own position,” Stephan von Dassel, district mayor of Mitte, said in the statement.
“We would like to reach a compromise that reflects fairly the interests of Korea Verband and the interests of the Japanese side,” he said.

I could understand this if Japan never admitted they were involved in sexual slavery and had never signed two agreements and paid a price to Korea for this atrocity. They have and twice Korea has not given anything to the women who were victimized. So now the SJWs overlook the facts and start placed statues around the world? The Korean SJWs need to stop playing the victim card…
I wonder how they would react to Poles, Ukrainians, or Latvians building a statue outside the Russian Embassy? Every war produces victims.
The problem with giving in to the wokescolds (Korean, American, or any other variety) is very much like that described in Kipling’s “Danegeld” poem (“Once you have paid the Danegeld, you never get rid of rhe Dane”).
