Negotiations over key financial stabilization bills remained stagnant Wednesday, with the opposition camp criticizing the ruling Liberal Democratic Party for its lack of meaningful proposals.
The LDP and five opposition parties met briefly for formal negotiation talks in the evening. No notable progress was made, however, with the two sides simply agreeing to hold another round of talks later that night.
In later negotiations, the LDP was expected to formally present a new compromise proposal that incorporates many key points of the opposition's demands.
