自民、夫婦別姓で議論開始へ　与党協議も視野

　自民党は近く、選択的夫婦別姓制度の是非を巡る議論に着手する。森山裕幹事長が７日の記者会見で明らかにした。公明党が求める与党協議も視野に入れる。ただ、自民内は保守派を中心に慎重論も根強く、結論を得られるかは見通せない。
　活動が中断している党の「氏制度のあり方に関する検討ワーキングチーム」（座長・逢沢一郎衆院議員）で議論を仕切り直す。森山氏は会見で「できるだけ早く再開できるようにしたい。公明党とも協議することが大事だ」と述べた。（2025/01/07-17:43）

Japan's ruling Liberal Democratic Party will soon start discussions on whether to introduce a selective dual surname system, LDP Secretary-General Hiroshi Moriyama said Tuesday.
   The LDP will also consider holding talks on the issue with its coalition partner, Komeito. But prospects for the discussions are unclear as there are strong voices of caution within the LDP about introducing such a system, mainly among conservative members.
   The LDP will resume the discussions in a related working team, whose activity has been halted.
   "We want to resume the discussions as soon as possible," Moriyama told a press conference. "Holding discussions with Komeito is important as well."
   At a press conference last month, Prime Minister and LDP President Shigeru Ishiba said that he wants there to be more frequent discussions within the party on the dual surname system and more progress made on the issue.
