You’ve got to hand it to Alejandro Cao de Benos. While most Western apologists for North Korea obscure their sympathies with platitudes about wanting to “promote dialogue” or foster “cultural exchange,” de Benos, a Barcelona native, is out of the closet as a pro-regime activist. In 2000, he founded the Korea Friendship Foundation, which promotes the Kim dynasty worldwide, and de Benos is also said to travel to Pyongyang about twice a month.
