[QUOTE]source: [url]http://www.csmonitor.com/World/Europe/2013/0325/North-Korea-s-public-relations-man-is-a-Spaniard-with-a-tough-job[/url] Meet Alejandro Cao de Benós, the only non-Korean employee of North Korea’s foreign ministry. The Spaniard is taking the PR message of North Korea's greatness across Europe.

I had no idea there was a non-Korean in their pitiful excuse of a government.
Why. Just.... Why would you even go there.
oh dear [editline]26th March 2013[/editline] does nobody expect a spanish inquisition?
I feel like this guy just decided to up and go to North Korea and make these propaganda videos in order to make the entire situation transform from terrifying to hilarious.
how did he even get a job there
This is probably a decent job, assuming they pay well.
I saw a documentary featuring this guy. On the North Korean website they have a forum and a special board for a North Korea supporters club of foreigners. It's interesting that any foreigner could support North Korea and have any concern for their government's national interests.

As long as they never actually manage to start a war with anyone it probably wouldn't be too bad having a big role in the government (if you could get over the fact that they're doing horrible things). You'd get taken care of pretty well I'd imagine. Just don't do anything that would get you shot and have no conscience at all and you've got a job for life.

I wonder why people choose to believe North Korea's propaganda, part of which is saying that all Western news about North Korea [b]is[/b] propaganda. Do they really distrust not only their own, but every first-world government [i]that much[/i] that they think that this tiny little country, which has no proof whatsoever of any of their wealth or power, and has messed up on almost every occasion of trying to show off said alleged power, is the speaker of truth, and everyone else is just oppressing poor little Best Korea?
