'저는 그들의 땅을 지키기 위하여 싸웠던 인디안들의 이야기를 기억합니다. 백인들이 그들의 신성한 숲에 도로를 만들기 위하여 나무들을 잘랐습니다. 매일밤 인디안들이 나가서 백인들이 만든 그 길을 해체하면 그 다음 날 백인들이 와서 도로를 다시 짓곤 했습니다. 한동안 그 것이 반복되었습니다. 그러던 어느날, 숲에서 가장 큰 나무가 백인들이 일할 동안 그들 머리 위로 떨어져 말과 마차들을 파괴하고 그들 중 몇몇을 죽였습니다. 그러자 백인들은 떠났고 결코 다시 오지 않았습니다….' (브루스 개그논)

Opposition Politicians' Street Protests Against Government's Railroading of Budgets and Bills on at Seoul Plaza
Posted on : 2010-12-13

'Pan-National Counter-measure Committee To Deter Four-River Project', which consists of four opposition parties such as Democratic Party, Democratic Labor Party, Advance New Party, National Participation Party, and 380 civic and social groups, holds a political party and civic group joint resolution convention to protest against Lee Myung-bak's dictatorial handling of railroading next year's national budget bills.

Railroading of next year's budget and other bills by the government and ruling party, while omitting budget for ordinary people and social welfare, provokes widespread after-shocks.
Go Heung-gil, Chairman of Policy Committee of Hannara Party, resigned from his party position taking responsibility for omitting the budget items. Opposition parties criticized this act as "tail-cutting" and demanded apology from President Lee Myung-bak and resignation of Park Hee-tae, Chairman of the National Assembly.

As a result, the confrontations between ruling and opposition parties intensified, while criticisms and anger among the civic society spread widely.
