Izumi, the representative of the Constitutional Democratic Party, said that in response to the issue regarding the LDP's faction's political funding party, a survey of its members was not objective, and related members of the Abe and Nikai factions have submitted to the Political Ethics Committee. I again asked him to attend and give an explanation.
Representative Izumi of the Constitutional Democratic Party held a press conference in Omura City, Nagasaki Prefecture, regarding a survey the Liberal Democratic Party conducted of all its members in response to issues surrounding factional political funding parties. "It's clearly not worth investigating."
He added, ``We cannot leave it up to the Liberal Democratic Party, and we are requesting that the five members of Abe's faction, former Secretary General Nikai, and others attend the Political Ethics Review Committee.If there is no problem with what they have done, they should express their opinions there.'' That's fine,'' he said, and reiterated his request for related members of the Abe and Nikai factions to attend the Political Ethics Committee and provide explanations.
I will have a meeting with Democratic Party of Japan representative Tamaki this week.
On the other hand, Mr. Izumi announced that he would meet with National Democratic Party Representative Tamaki this week, who withdrew from negotiations with the ruling party regarding the "trigger clause" that would suspend the taxation of the additional portion of gasoline tax. ``We have a fairly common policy direction, and I would like to call on them to ``take charge of the government.'' I would like to sincerely discuss what we can do to improve the lives of the people and change the plutocratic system.'' Ta.
