The Democratic Front for the Reunification of the Fatherland, formed on 22 July 1946, is a North Korean united front led by the Workers' Party of Korea. It was initially called the North Korean Fatherland United Democratic Front. It is also known as the Fatherland Front. The three political parties of North Korea--the Workers' Party, the Korean Social Democratic Party, and the Chondoist Chongu Party, all participate in the front. Other member organizations include social groups and youth groups, such as the Korean Children's Union, the Kim Il Sung Socialist Youth League, Young Pioneer Corps, the Korean Democratic Women's League and the Korean Red Cross society.〔(【引用サイトリンク】work=Encyclopedia of the Nations )〕 In practice, only the Workers' Party holds any real power at the national level. The two minor parties in the front are completely subservient to the Workers' Party, and serve merely to keep up the appearance of pluralism. Indeed, virtually nothing about their activities is reported in the press beyond the names of their leaders. All candidates for elective office must be members of the front, and are elected by it; mass meetings are held to decide which candidates will be nominated and their names can go on the ballot paper only with the approval of the meeting. There is an ostensible counterpart for the DFRF in South Korea, known as the Anti-Imperialist National Democratic Front, which operates in North Korea. ==References== 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Democratic Front for the Reunification of the Fatherland」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
