Constitutional Democratic Party and National Democratic Party Focus on confluence up to the ordinary Diet 4:30 on January 4
The Constitutional Democratic Party and the National Democratic Party will soon have talks between leaders over the merging of the parties. The focus is likely to be on whether agreement can be reached by the ordinary Diet, which is expected to convene this month.
At the meeting of the Secretary-General of the Constitutional Democratic Party and the National Democratic Party late last month, based on the agreement that the parties will be joined together, Eda and Tamaki will meet soon.
Mr. Edano has agreed to meet the ordinary parliament scheduled to be convened on the 20th of this month, and hopes to clarify the confrontation with the Abe administration from the beginning of the parliament.
Meanwhile, within the DPJ, Ichiro Ozawa has called for agreement between the party leaders next week, saying that the merger should be realized early before the ordinary Diet session.
However, some voices have stated that "the two parties should join on an equal footing" and "need to gain the understanding of the unions that support them," so Mr. Tamaki said that he would like to proceed with the talks as carefully as possible. It is likely that the immediate focus will be on whether agreement can be reached by the Diet.
Also, the SDP, which was called for consolidation, said that local organizations said, `` While the constitution is in crisis, a constitutional political party is necessary, '' the coordination with the local organizations began in earnest later this month. I want to consolidate.
