[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Hyemin] On the 6th, Hwang Kyo-ahn, leader of the Liberty Korea Party, announced that he would form an Integration Promotion Committee to work on unification efforts with the liberal democratic camp parties, the new parties promoted by lawmakers Lee Eon-ju and Lee Jung-hyun, and the National Integration Coalition involving former leader Hong Joon-pyo.

On the same day, Hwang held a Supreme Council meeting at the National Assembly and said, "There is no longer any justification or reason to delay (conservative) unification."

He emphasized, "We must remember that without unification, we can never win the general election," and added, "As the main opposition party and the root party of the liberal democratic forces, the Korea Party will take the lead in opening the way for unification."

Hwang expanded the scope of unification comprehensively. He said, "We will join hands with all liberal democratic forces, including existing liberal democratic camp parties, the new parties promoted by lawmakers Lee Eon-ju and Lee Jung-hyun respectively, the National Integration Coalition, and the Small Business Owners' New Party," adding, "Competition over the metropolitan area and shares will lead to self-destruction."

He stated, "The Integration Promotion Committee will serve as a platform to unite conservative forces." Hwang emphasized, "It will be an Integration Promotion Committee that broadly includes anyone who shares the same will," and added, "We will open politics where the people win through a victorious unification."

Regarding the prosecution's indictment of a total of 27 Liberty Korea Party lawmakers and aides over the so-called 'National Assembly Fast-Track (Rapid Processing Agenda) Clash Incident,' Hwang criticized, "Indicting 23 out of 108 lawmakers is, in a word, a massacre against the Korea Party."

He said, "Nonviolent resistance to illegality is innocent," and added, "We must definitely protect the brave lawmakers who resisted desperately without hesitation in the face of the historical duty to block the dictatorship's evil laws." He also emphasized, "We will provide all necessary support," and "There will absolutely be no unfair disadvantages in candidate nominations."

Hwang publicly warned, "If anyone tries to exploit the difficult situation these individuals face, it will be a clear violation, and appropriate measures will be taken."
