朝鮮中央通信が "RFA・VOA中波放送の拡大は挑発行為"と息巻いている。
北朝鮮は16日にも、祖国統一民主主義戦線の名で、開かれた北朝鮮放送、北朝鮮宣教放送、北朝鮮改革放送などを名指しで批判したのに続き、17日には、自由アジア放送(RFA)とボイス･オブ･アメリカ(VOA)の中波放送の拡大を激しく批判している。

RFAは短波放送に加えて、3月3日3日正午から中波放送を開始し、VOAも北朝鮮向け中波放送を、2日の夕方の放送からそれまでの1日1時間から5時間に大幅に増やした。

Anti-DPRK Smear Broadcasting Campaign Accused
　The south Korean conservative ruling quarters are these days conducting anti-DPRK smear broadcasts more viciously than ever before in conspiracy with the right-wing conservatives of the United States and Japan.
A spokesman for the Central Committee of the Democratic Front for the Reunification of the Fatherland in the DPRK issued a statement in this regard on Sunday.
The statement bitterly denounced such campaign as an unpardonable, anti-reunification and anti-national crime designed to turn the favorably developing inter-Korean relationship to that in the era of confrontation before the adoption of the June 15 declaration.
The right-wing conservatives in south Korea have gathered riffraff to set up such smear broadcastings as "broadcasting for the north", "missionary broadcasting for the north" and "broadcasting for reform in the north" and use them as a shock brigade in the campaign against the DPRK, it pointed out, and said:
Recently they established again the anti-DPRK smear broadcasting called "voice of freedom". And they have intensified broadcasts full of falsity and deceptive propaganda against the north from the very day of its start.
Furthermore, "Radio Free Asia" and "Voice of America", broadcastings speaking for the U.S. right-wing conservatives are joining in the above-said campaign while instigating the south Korean conservatives to do so. In the meantime, the Japanese reactionaries openly set up an anti-DPRK broadcasting under the prime minister's control to join in the smear campaign.
Bereft of reason encouraged by their U.S. and Japanese masters, the south Korean conservative forces have gone the length of seeking to conduct such smear broadcasts on a worldwide scale, asserting that an international body should be formed to put under the unified control the anti-DPRK broadcastings in the United States, Japan and south Korea.
They have frantically staged war exercises for aggression on the DPRK, in league with the United States, inciting military confrontation. Not content with such actions, they are conducting the anti-DPRK smear broadcasts to invite confrontation in ideology and system with their fellow countrymen. This is an intolerable confrontation campaign against the nation and reunification.
We will never overlook such provocative smear broadcasting launched by the south Korean conservative ruling quarters and the U.S. and Japanese reactionaries to dare to defame the destiny of the DPRK and threaten its system but strictly keep tabs on the moves.
The south Korean conservative ruling quarters are well advised to behave themselves, mindful that they should be held fully accountable for all the consequences to be entailed by their smear broadcasting moves.
