[Asia Economy Reporter Lee Ji-eun] On the 10th, Hwang Kyo-ahn, leader of the Liberty Korea Party, reiterated the importance of conservative unification, stating, "It is a just cause for all political forces to unite and judge the Moon Jae-in administration."

After the '2020 Liberty Korea Party Gyeongnam Provincial Party New Year's Meeting' held in Changwon, Gyeongnam, Hwang responded to reporters' questions about the backlash among TK and PK lawmakers against the New Conservative Party, the unification counterpart, by saying, "At this time, conservative political forces who share our values must come together."

He added, "However, I believe we must clearly uphold and maintain those values and work together from that perspective."

Regarding reports of strong opposition among TK and PK lawmakers toward Rep. Yoo Seung-min of the New Conservative Party, including Rep. Yoon Sang-jik's demand for Yoo's voluntary withdrawal from politics, Hwang said, "We must unite with all political forces that share constitutional values to judge the Moon administration. This is the just cause."

He also urged former leader Hong Joon-pyo and former Gyeongnam Governor Kim Tae-ho to run in challenging constituencies again. Both have expressed intentions to run in their hometowns in the Gyeongnam region. Hwang said, "They are valuable members who contribute greatly to the party, and we cherish and respect them. I ask them to advance strategically into key battlegrounds in this difficult general election to help our party achieve overall victory."

He did not forget to criticize the government. Hwang stated, "Gyeongnam and Changwon have been the backbone of the country's economy. Since this administration took office, the most difficult places have been Changwon and Gyeongnam." He added, "At the New Year's meeting, I said, 'Let's judge the economically incompetent administration.' We will thoroughly block the administration's wrongdoings and unite our efforts to ensure victory in this general election."
