自民、全議員対象に聴取　政治刷新本部

　自民党は１６日午後、政治刷新本部の第２回会合を党本部で開いた。派閥の政治資金パーティー収入裏金事件を受け、全ての党所属国会議員を対象に政治改革や再発防止に関する意見を聴取。本部長の岸田文雄首相（党総裁）も出席し、「信頼を回復するために議論を深めなければならない。熱い思いを聞かせてもらいたい」と語った。
　１１日の初会合では最高顧問の菅義偉前首相らから派閥解消を求める声が相次いだ。党執行部は今月中に中間取りまとめを行う方針だが、意見集約が難航する可能性もある。
　茂木敏充幹事長は１６日午前の記者会見で、派閥の在り方について「議論を深めて中間取りまとめで方向性を示すことができればと考えている」と語った。（2024/01/16-13:20）

Japan's Liberal Democratic Party held on Tuesday a meeting to hear opinions on political reform from all of its member lawmakers following the high-profile political funds scandal involving factions of the ruling party.
   "We need to deepen discussion to regain trust. I want to hear your passionate opinions," Prime Minister Fumio Kishida, president of the LDP, said at the second meeting of its new headquarters tasked with promoting political reform.
   At the first meeting of the headquarters on Thursday, former Prime Minister Yoshihide Suga and others called on the party to dissolve its factions.
   The LDP's leadership plans to draw up an interim report this month, but it may struggle to find a consensus.
