菅直人辭職之爭威脅日本震災重建法案

Crucial legislation to finance Japan's post-earthquake reconstruction is at risk amid a political struggle over the timing of Prime Minister Naoto Kan's planned ers of Mr. Kan's Democratic Party of Japan said after talks with the prime minister Sunday that Mr. Kan wants to remain in office long enough to try to push the bills through the current session of parliament.

However, leaders of the opposition Liberal Democratic Party want Mr. Kan to resign sooner, saying the bills should be introduced by a new government that will be in place to oversee their implementation. The LDP controls the upper house and has the power to block the officials of both parties said on national television Sunday they could support a grand coalition, which would remain in place long enough to deal with the effects of the massive March 11 earthquake and tsunami.資助日本震後重建的關鍵立法被捲入有關日本首相菅直人計劃辭職時機的政治爭鬥中。菅直人所在的日本民主黨的領導人與首相星期天會晤後說，菅直人希望在推動有關立法在議會目前的會期中通過以後才辭職。

但是，反對黨自民黨的領導人要求菅直人儘早辭職，稱應由新政府通過有關法案並監督法案落實。自民黨控制日本國會上議院，有能力阻止這些法案。兩黨高級官員星期天在全國電視節目中說，雙方可以支持建立一個大同盟，保持足夠長的時間，直到3月11日大地震和海嘯的救災工作完成。
