Countermeasures against the new and coronavirus countermeasures continued during the Diet's closing session.

The ordinary Diet session was closed on the 17th, but an examination will be conducted during the session regarding measures against the new coronavirus. While the government and the ruling party want to urgently implement economic measures, the opposition party will continue to outsource "sustaining benefit" projects.

On the 17th day of the end of the session, the 201st Ordinary Diet was closed by the opposition party proposing to extend the session, but it was rejected by many opposition parties such as the ruling party.

On the other hand, the ruling and opposition parties agreed to hold a committee related to the new coronavirus countermeasures once a week in both Houses of the House after the closing, and Prime Minister Abe said, ``During the closing session, if requested, as a government, We will fulfill our accountability."

The government and the ruling party will make every possible effort to prepare for the second wave of the infection, and will make every possible effort to execute the supplementary budget that has been established, and will urgently implement economic measures.

In response, the representative of the Constitutional Democratic Party, Edano, said, "We would like to make up for the government's insufficiency in measures against infectious diseases." The opposition party will continue to use the 10 trillion yen in contingency funds and consign the "sustaining benefit" to small and medium-sized enterprises, and it is expected that the controversy will continue during the closing examination.

On the other hand, in response to the abolition of the bill to raise the retirement age of national civil servants, including prosecutors, the government intends to submit the bill again to the extraordinary Diet session that is expected in the fall and aim to pass it.

Based on the criticism of the opposition party, the government and the ruling party are considering reexamining the contents, including shortening the period of extension of the prosecutor's maximum length of three years, which is specially possible.
