[Asia Economy Reporter Lee Ji-eun] Park Ji-won, a member of the Alternative New Party, stated that an unconditional merger of the Bareunmirae Party, the Peace Party, and the Alternative New Party is necessary to win the general election.

On the 4th, Park said on his Facebook, "In politics, it is accepted as a common truth that conservatives perish due to corruption and progressives due to division."

Emphasizing unconditional integration, Park said, "Some members of the Bareunmirae Party, the Peace Party, and the Alternative New Party must merge unconditionally and compete cooperatively with the Democratic Party in the general election to have a chance to defeat the divided conservatives," adding, "If the general election is held with divided conservatives and divided progressives, the outcome will be unpredictable."

He said, "The Democratic Party, some members of the Bareunmirae Party, the Peace Party, the Justice Party, and the Alternative New Party must solidify the current 4+1 (consultative body) to successfully pass reform legislation such as the adjustment of prosecution and police investigative authority and the confirmation of Prime Minister Chung Sye-kyun," adding, "This is an unprecedented conservative split into four factions: the Korean Party, the Pro-Park Party, the Yoo Seung-min Party, and the Ahn Cheol-soo Party. A grand conservative unification is absolutely impossible as each faction's share-based nomination will be defeated by the Democratic Party's reform nominations."

He continued, "After the general election, both conservatives and progressives will unify to contest the presidential election," adding, "If the presidential election is held in a divided state without integration, the unified forces will take power. The goal should be the re-creation of a progressive regime through the success of President Moon Jae-in."

Park emphasized, "Recreating the progressive regime is necessary to revive the economy of ordinary people, democracy, inter-Korean relations, and achieve development in Honam," adding, "This is the path to continue DJ's ideology."
