Representative Tateman Edano, “Meeting direction within the year,” December 19 20:08

Concerning the merger with the National Democratic Party, representatives of the Constitutional Democratic Party, Mr. Edano, said that the House of Representatives would be dissolved in next year's ordinary parliament, saying `` We must conclude this year. '' I showed the idea that I wanted to.

After the Constitutional Democratic Party called on the National Democratic Party to join, discussions by the Secretary-General of both parties began on the 19th.

The representative of the Constitutional Democratic Party, who recorded a TV program on a private broadcaster, said, “There is enough possibility of the dissolution of the House of Representatives in the ordinary Diet session. This is not the date that can be decided, so what can be done in the earliest possibility? I have to do it. "

After that, “We need to conclude within the year on how to strengthen political cooperation. It is better to spend time on party procedures and local organizations, but it is within the year.” And at least the direction of whether or not to join will be expressed within the year.
