[Asia Economy Intern Reporter Heo Midam] Kim Jae-won, Chairman of the Policy Committee of the Liberty Korea Party, stated on the 14th that "joining hands and winning together in the general election is the way to overcome the impeachment" regarding conservative unification.

On the same day, on KBS Radio's 'Kim Kyung-rae's Strongest Current Affairs,' Chairman Kim said, "The impeachment is a painful wound and a painful past for our party," adding, "It is already a matter settled as a historical fact, and mentioning impeachment during the unification process, such as 'crossing the river' or 'not asking about the impeachment,' is a futile act."

He continued, "To use an analogy, a highway has been built over the 'river of impeachment,' stretching 100 km. If there are still people stuck in the river saying we should cross it, I can only say, 'Come across quickly.'"

Chairman Kim also explained, "The party leadership and the majority opinion of the party believe that 'impeachment is an issue that does not help to be mentioned and is a problem that can be overcome by joining hands and winning the general election together.' Therefore, we are currently promoting grand unification, and most of our party members and lawmakers agree with this path of grand unification."

Regarding Hwang Kyo-ahn's candidacy for the Liberty Korea Party leadership, he said, "Even within the party, Hwang has not yet made any special indication, and we have not yet specifically reviewed the matter. I think it is something that needs to be decided after more careful consideration."
