[Asia Economy Reporter Lee Ji-eun] Hwang Kyo-ahn, leader of the Liberty Korea Party, stated that the norms of the Integration Innovation Promotion Committee (Tongchuwi) include the demands made by the New Conservative Party, and emphasized the need to compromise for the greater cause of integration. This is interpreted as a response to the New Conservative Party's demand for the 'acceptance of three principles.'

On the 13th, at the Supreme Council meeting held in the National Assembly main building, Leader Hwang said, "We must put aside our own intentions and accept the will of the people for the greater cause of integration."

He emphasized, "The public demand for integration is high," defining innovation and integration as justice, and added, "When we launched Tongchuwi, the six norms of conservative-moderate integration, which we also agreed upon, were established, and among these, the demands made by the New Conservative Party have also been reflected." Previously, New Conservative Party lawmaker Yoo Seung-min proposed three integration principles: crossing the river of impeachment, pursuing reformist conservatism, and tearing down the old house to build a new one. Leader Hwang had planned a press conference to officially accept these but canceled it due to opposition within the party, including from pro-Park factions.

Regarding recent personnel appointments in the prosecution by the Ministry of Justice, Leader Hwang stated, "The Moon Jae-in administration is trying to reign above the law through prosecution personnel appointments and organizational restructuring," and emphasized, "They have chosen a foolish path of war against the people and the prosecution." He added, "Integration is justice," and urged support for integration by saying, "To judge this ruthless administration that commits unprecedented acts in history without batting an eye, we aim to achieve party innovation and great integration of the liberal democratic camp."
