Top opposition leader Naoto Kan hinted Wednesday that his Democratic Party of Japan may accept the planned injection of public money for the ailing Long-Term Credit Bank of Japan under certain conditions, such as full disclosure of the bank's management information and clarification of the responsibility of its executives.
The DPJ, the largest opposition party, may have to make "important decisions" regarding the LTCB issue separate from the Diet debate on a set of government-proposed financial stabilization bills, Kan told the party's executive meeting.
It was taken as an indication that the DPJ's stance on the issue was softening.
