[Asia Economy Reporter Lee Ji-eun] The New Conservative Party, which advocates for a 'young conservative' and 'reform conservative' stance, is launching today.

The New Conservative Party announced that it will hold its central party founding convention at the National Assembly Members' Office Building on the afternoon of the 5th.

The party established its platform yesterday, focusing on directions such as ▲young spirit ▲representation of youth ▲nurturing young politicians. This platform broadly adopted the seven demands proposed by the 'Change and Innovation New Party Preparation Planning Group Youth Planning Committee' to realize a genuinely young party.

The platform defines conservatism as "protecting the country, protecting the community, and protecting values," and states, "The Moon Jae-in administration, which easily came to power due to the self-destruction of the old conservatives, is driving South Korea into unprecedented danger through incompetence, dogmatism, corruption, and illegality." The goal is specified as "competent politics that uphold the constitution to create a just democratic republic and firmly protect the economy and security."

The party's principles include a total of 15 values, including the four core values of ▲republic and justice ▲rule of law and equality ▲fair and free competition ▲young party. In particular, it proposes republic and justice as core values that harmoniously realize various constitutional values, emphasizing the distinction from the old conservatives who only advocate freedom and the existing progressives biased toward democracy and equality.

Ha Tae-kyung, the founding preparation committee chairman, stated, "Being young is not simply about age but about aspiring to youthfulness in policies and value realization," adding, "This platform expresses the New Conservative Party's will to embrace all generations, including youth, unlike the old conservatives."

Earlier, eight lawmakers from the Bareun Party, including Yoo Seung-min, collectively left the Bareunmirae Party on the 3rd to establish the New Conservative Party. At a press conference held at the National Assembly on the 3rd, they said, "We will not abandon our intentions and values blinded by immediate interests. Although our numbers are small and our power weak, we will fundamentally rebuild the fallen conservatism," emphasizing, "We will become a new reform conservative force that properly checks and replaces the Moon administration."
