North Korea has executed a party official at the Foreign Ministry after he suggested to its leader Kim Jong Un that a magnificent hospital, but empty for patients, be equipped with European medical equipment. This is not the first time that he has issued a death order, as he had previously executed Corona patients, killed his brother with poisonous gas in an Asian country, and his uncle’s husband, by throwing him into a cage for hungry dogs, as was promoted by a number of media outlets in 2014. Kim had issued a decision to execute Minister of Public Security Oh Sang-hoon with a flamethrower, for his connection with his uncle Jang Song-taek, who executed him at the end of 2013. In Pyongyang, he announced the dissolution of the Ministry of Public Security after carrying out the death sentence against the minister, amid rumors of Kim Jong Un's intention to get rid of all the leaders who were close to his late uncle who executed him, and these are estimated to number about 200 people. The northern leader personally laid the foundation stone for the hospital, "General Pyongyang", with great fanfare in March last year, demanding that the facility be built in just over six months. But his deadline came without a major opening, amid rumors that the currently completed building was empty and lacking basic medical equipment. The party official paid the ultimate price, after proposing an alternative solution that contradicted Kim Jong-un's vision for the hospital. The South Korean newspaper, Daily NK, reported that the leader wanted the facility to be equipped with medical equipment from Europe. The newspaper reported that the convicted man is a deputy director of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and he was 50 years old, who was responsible for import and export and suggested sourcing equipment from China instead of Europe. The newspaper also added that an executive official at the Ministry of Health was dismissed. It is said that Kim Jong Un, who spent part of his childhood in Switzerland, believes that the European-made equipment is of the highest quality. Therefore, the party allocated a large budget to furnish the hospital in line with its wishes. The acquisition of medical equipment appears to be the problem, said North Korea analyst Martin Williams, who has been monitoring the hospital's construction via satellite images. "We can't judge internal progress," he said. Pictures from Kim Jong-un's visit to the hospital last July showed that the structure was largely finished, although most of the windows had yet to be installed. The North Korean leader originally ordered the hospital to open by October 10, 2020 - the 75th anniversary of the ruling party's founding day. But government propaganda has not provided an update on the project since September, when it boasted that outside work was in its final stages and progressing "at a rapid pace".
