Report on refusal to join the Ritsumin and the National Union.

The Constitutional Democratic Party and the National Democratic Party, which have forgotten the immediate merger, have reported the circumstances to the coalition of the supporting parties of both parties for their understanding, while the coalition side has sought to strengthen cooperation through parliamentary discussions.

The Constitutional Democratic Party and the National Democratic Party, which have continued discussions on the merger, have forgotten the merger for the time being on Tuesday, as there is no prospect of an agreement at this time.

In response, Secretary-General of the Constitutional Democratic Party Fukuyama and Secretary-General of the National Democratic Party Hirano all visited the United Nations Headquarters in Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo on the evening of the 22nd, reporting the background to Secretary-General Aihara and other executives for their understanding.

In addition, he said, "The merger is not a blank slate, and the parties are aiming in the same direction," and stated that they would like to continue building trust.

In response, the Union requested that "we would like to further strengthen cooperation through debate in the Diet."
