[Asia Economy Reporter Lee Ji-eun] The National Future Forum, composed mainly of regional chairpersons from the People’s Party, will participate in the unified new party.

On the 4th, according to the Innovation Integration Promotion Committee (IIPC), the National Future Forum declared its participation in the centrist-conservative integration promoted by the IIPC and decided to join the unified new party.

The National Future Forum is a group formed to realize centrist pragmatism politics, mainly consisting of regional chairpersons who ran in the 2016 general election under the People’s Party or were active in the Bareunmirae Party. Former lawmakers Kim Young-hwan and Moon Byung-ho serve as co-representatives. Both former lawmakers also declared their joining of the IIPC last month.

They stated, "South Korea is currently facing a comprehensive crisis. It is due to the arrogance, dogmatism, reckless actions, and mismanagement of the Moon Jae-in administration of the Democratic Party of Korea, which is trapped in the arrogance of monopolizing the Candlelight Revolution," adding, "the spirit of the times that will permeate the upcoming April 15 general election is to check the administration’s reckless actions and to judge its mismanagement as the top priority."

The National Future Forum emphasized, "The unified new party must never become a 'reincarnation of the Saenuri Party.' A large-scale overhaul of candidate nominations based on innovation and progress is necessary," and added, "It must serve as a framework to judge the Moon administration, save South Korea, and change the country."
