Parlament, der sogenannten Obersten Volksversammlung,

Warum wird hier "der sogennanten" Volksvertretung geschrieben??
Das fällt mir zum erstenmal auf!

Meine Überlegung dazu:

Das oberste gesetzgebende Staatsorgan wird in unseren Breiten meistens Parlament genannt.
Aber > andere Länder, andere Namen:

in den USA etwa > Kongress (= Repräsentantenhaus + Senat), in Israel: Knesset, in Norwegen: Storting, usw. ...

Dem heimischen Leser wird nun eine deutsche Zeitung etwa mitteilen:
... im Parlament Norwegens, dem sogenannten Storting, wurden heute folgende Gesetze beschlossen ...

in Nord- und Südkorea haben die Parlamente unterschiedliche Bezeichnungen:

in Nordkorea heiß das Parlament: 최고인민회의 (Choi-go-in-min-hoi-ui)
choi = am meisten
go = Hoch
in = Mensch
min = Volk
hoi = treffen, versammeln
ui = beraten, diskutieren
auf gut Deutsch: > "Oberste Volksversammlung"

in Südkorea nennt man das Parlament 국회 (Kuk-hoi)
Kuk = Land, Nation
Hoi = (siehe oben) versammeln, treffen
also > die "Nationalversammlung"

Das Gebäude, in dem die südkorean. Nationalversammlung zusammen kommt, das Parlamentssgebäude also, nennnt man in Südkorea: 국회의사당 (kuk-hoi-ui-sa-dang)
kukhoi = Nationalversammlung
ui = beraten, diskutieren
sa = Sache, Angelegenheit
dang = Halle
die "kukhoi-uisadang" ist also die Halle, in der die Nationalverammlung ihre Angelegenheiten berät, diskutiert.

@ rroft,

da hast du ja zwei nette Artikel nebeneinander kopiert, die den Traum und die Realität in Nordkorea beschreiben.

Im ersten Artikel wird darauf hingewiesen, dass es der größte Traum von Kim Il Sung und Kim Jong Il war, dem Volke einen entsprechenden Lebensstandard zu bieten; was den beiden aber in 60 Jahren nicht gelang, soll in diesem Jahr verwirklicht werden.

(siehe im Artikel- > " ... this year's tasks are to realize at an early date the lifetime desire of President Kim Il Sung and leader Kim Jong Il, who devoted their whole lives to putting the country's economy on the level of a prosperous and powerful country and to making the people live with no more to desire in the world ... ")

Dann werden etliche der Träume aufgelistet:

> die Stahlproduktion soll um 350% erhöht werden!
to increase the production of rolled steel more than 3.5 times as compared with last year ...

> Wonsan soll ein Weltklasse-Tourismus-Resort werden !
Wonsan area should turn into a world-level resort and tourist destination ...

> Ultra-moderne Güter mit hohem Wettbewerbsvorteil sollten entwickelten und produziert werden!
Ultra-modern technological goods of high competitiveness should be massively researched and developed

> (schon nüchterner) die Modernisierung der nationalen Wirtschaft sollte zufriedenstellend gelöst werden
modernization of the national economy should be satisfactorily solved.

> Alle Einheiten sollen hochqualitative Gebrauchsgüter, die auf den internationalen Märkten reüssieren, mit einheimischen Rohstoffen und selbst entwickelter Technologie produzieren!
All the fields and units of the national economy should build ... finished goods of high competitiveness at international markets by relying on locally available resources and indigenous technology

Aber ihr seht schon selbst, woran es schließlich scheitern wird. Im Text überwiegt das "should" ...


Bestätigt wird diese Vermutung im zweiten Artikel: da geht es um das Staatsbudget 2013 für Nordkorea!

Wuchs das Staatsbudget Nordkoreas 2012 (einnahmen- und ausgabenseitig) um etwa 10%, so soll 2012 das Wachstum trotz aller Anstrengungen für und Investitionen in die Wirtschaft nur mehr 4% bis 6% betragen.
Mit diesem Budget hofft man, die Wirtschaft vor dem Kollaps bewahren und den Lebensstandard der Bevölkerung stabilisieren und verbessern zu können.
...have been shaped in such a way as keeping the overall economy afloat and bringing about a decisive turn in stabilizing and improving the standard of people's living.

Interessante Nebeninformation aus der Budgetrede:
Den größten Teil der Staatseinnahmen bringt im steuerfreien Nordkorea die Umsatzsteuer!
The state budgetary revenue is expected to increase 4.1 percent over that last year. Out of this, the transaction tax, main source of budgetary revenue, is expected to grow 3.5 percent


Um die angestrebten Ziele doch noch zu erreichen, sind sicher einige Besuche im "Heiligen Tempel des Juche" nötig ...

Pyongyang, April 1 (KCNA) – A law on consolidating the position of nuclear weapons state for self-defence was adopted in the DPRK. An ordinance of the Supreme People's Assembly of the DPRK in this regard was promulgated on Monday.
The ordinance said as follows:
The DPRK is a full-fledged nuclear weapons state capable of beating back any aggressor troops at one strike, firmly defending the socialist system and providing a sure guarantee for the happy life of the people. Having an independent and just nuclear force, the DPRK put an end to the distress-torn history in which it was subject to outside forces' aggression and interference and could emerge a socialist power of Juche which no one dares provoke. The Supreme People's Assembly of the DPRK decides to consolidate the position of the nuclear weapons state as follows:
The nuclear weapons of the DPRK are just means for defence as it was compelled to have access to them to cope with the ever-escalating hostile policy of the U.S. and nuclear threat. They serve the purpose of deterring and repelling the aggression and attack of the enemy against the DPRK and dealing deadly retaliatory blows at the strongholds of aggression until the world is denuclearized. The DPRK shall take practical steps to bolster up the nuclear deterrence and nuclear retaliatory strike power both in quality and quantity to cope with the gravity of the escalating danger of the hostile forces' aggression and attack.
The nuclear weapons of the DPRK can be used only by a final order of the Supreme Commander of the Korean People's Army to repel invasion or attack from a hostile nuclear weapons state and make retaliatory strikes. The DPRK shall neither use nukes against the non-nuclear states nor threaten them with those weapons unless they join a hostile nuclear weapons state in its invasion and attack on the DPRK.
The DPRK shall strictly observe the rules on safekeeping and management of nukes and ensuring the stability of nuclear tests. The DPRK shall establish a mechanism and order for their safekeeping and management so that nukes and their technology, weapon-grade nuclear substance may not leak out illegally.
The DPRK shall cooperate in the international efforts for nuclear non-proliferation and safe management of nuclear substance on the principle of mutual respect and equality, depending on the improvement of relations with hostile nuclear weapons states. The DPRK shall strive hard to defuse the danger of a nuclear war and finally build a world without nukes and fully support the international efforts for nuclear disarmament against nuclear arms race.
The related institutions shall take thorough practical steps for implementing this ordinance. -0-

Pyongyang, April 1 (KCNA) – The DPRK decided to set up the State Space Development Bureau. The decision of the Supreme People's Assembly (SPA) of the DPRK promulgated on Monday said:
The DPRK is a full-fledged satellite manufacturer and launcher. It is an invariable stand of the DPRK to develop the country into a world-class space power by exercising its legitimate right to space development for peaceful purposes. To step up economic construction and improve the people's standard of living by radically developing the space science and technology of the country and guide and manage all the space activities of the DPRK in a uniform way, the SPA decides as follows:
The DPRK State Space Development Bureau shall be set up. The bureau is a state central institution which guides and manages the supervision and control over the working out of a space development program and its implementation and space development work in a uniform way.
The Cabinet of the DPRK and other institutions concerned shall take practical measures to implement this decision. -0-

Gibt es sie oder gibt es die nicht?
Beim Forumstreffen würde darüber gerätselt, es konnte aber keine Antwort gefunden werden.

Laut KCNA müßte es sie aber doch geben, den Deutschlandableger der KFA (Korea Friendship Association). Denn heute veröffentlichte die KCNA folgenden kurzen Beitrag:

Korean People Will Win Victory in Defending Sovereignty: German Organization

Pyongyang, March 8 (KCNA) -- The German Branch of the Korean Friendship Association issued a statement on March 1 in support of the just cause of the Korean people.
The statement said the DPRK's third underground nuclear test was a measure for self-defense to protect its sovereignty and the nation's dignity, adding:
The U.S. got UN Security Council to fabricate a "resolution on sanctions" charging the DPRK with the launch of satellite Kwangmyongsong 3-2, which touched off the Korean people's anger.
The DPRK regards the powerful nuclear deterrent as the only means for defending itself.
The statement expressed great concern that the war exercises may spill over into a war, but the U.S. and south Korea went ahead with the Foal Eagle joint war rehearsal.
This compelled the DPRK to declare that it would take strong countermeasures in succession to ensure the peace of the country.
The Korean people will win a victory in safeguarding the country's security and sovereignty and protecting peace in the Asian-Pacific region.

Ob dieser Text der Feder eines KCNA-Redakteurs entrann oder ob es in Deutschland tatsächlich (wieder) eine KFA-Gruppe (vielleicht eine verborgene Ein-Mann-Gruppe wie die Juche-Studiengruppe in Franken) gibt ?

[Blauer Apfel]

Laut KFA-Webpage gibt es wieder einen offiziellen Delegierten aus Deutschland, Hr. Udo, Petersen, erreichbar unter germany@korea-dpr.com

Nach taz-Bericht von heute gibt es in Deutschland zwei regionale Juche Studiengruppen, in Hannover und Erfurt.

Laut taz sind es sogar Drei! Ob des Juche-Studienkreises der Links-Rechts-Außen-Gruppe werden die beiden anderen Juche-Studierenden vermutlich doch etwas die Nase rümpfen, für die KCNA dürften aber alle drei dengleichen Stellenwert haben. Diese ominöse dritte Juche-Gruppe dürfte gleichzeitig die älteste existierende in Deutschland sein, dementsprechend groß wird wohl schon deren Wissen und Verständnis über Juche sein.
