The Covid emergency is becoming increasingly worrying in North Korea e Kim Jong-un intervenes to beat and “torpedo” those responsible. In particular, he announced misfortunes and denounced the mistakes of his subordinates. In front of the hierarchs summoned in an extended and extraordinary meeting of the Politburo, Kim decided to remove some men from the top on the spot. He accused them of “incompetence, irresponsibility and chronic laziness”. And not only. He also said that they were unable to comply with the pandemic health plan, making material and scientific errors, and that they endangered the security of the state and the people.
Kim, filmed with the finger pointed in the shots disseminated by propaganda, especially took it out on the Workers’ Party, accusing him of “ignorance covered in straw fires of fake activism”. Then, before dismissing some of his men, he announced that “a revolution in personnel administration is needed immediately”. And so some Politburo members and health officials were torpedoed, the state agency reports Kcna reported by Corriere della Sera.
But what is the Covid situation in the country? North Korea has had its borders sealed since January 2020, to avoid contagion from China. Since then he has not reported any cases of Covid-19 to the WHO and has always refused advice and supplies of tampons and vaccines, claiming that he subjected 31,000 citizens to the test, without having found even a positive. In any case, North Korea would be in crisis not only from a health point of view, but also from that point of view economic and food. And in fact Kim has already intervened to denounce the disastrous consequences of the pandemic on trade, given that China was the only outlet for Pyongyang. Not to mention the agricultural harvest, which has gone bad due to typhoons and drought.
