From the 20th, the Diet will hold representative questions from each party regarding Prime Minister Suga's policy speech.
Regarding measures against the new coronavirus, the ruling party asks questions about the outlook for vaccination and the status of preparations, while the opposition party decides to seek stronger support for medical sites and businesses, and the ruling and opposition parties have begun a debate. I will.
In response to Prime Minister Suga's policy speech and four government speeches on the 18th, the Diet will hold representative questions from each party in both houses of the Diet for three days from the 20th.
On the first day, at the plenary session of the House of Representatives, the secretary general of the Liberal Democratic Party and Mr. Edano of the Constitutional Democratic Party will ask questions.
Among them, Secretary-General Nikai revised the outlook and preparation status for vaccination with the new coronavirus, which Prime Minister Suga aims to start by the end of next month, as well as the Special Measures Law to enhance the effectiveness of countermeasures. I'm asking for an explanation of the need to do so.
We will also ask about how to proceed with discussions on the revision of the Constitution and the status of preparations for the Tokyo Olympics and Paralympics this summer.
On the other hand, Mr. Edano pursued the responsibility of Prime Minister Suga, saying that the delay in the government's response, such as the delay in issuing the state of emergency, caused the spread of the infection, and also to the medical field and businesses. We are seeking support and strengthening of the inspection system.
In addition, the ruling and opposition parties will begin a debate about their attitude toward recovery from the Great East Japan Earthquake and efforts toward the realization of a carbon-free society.
