House of Representatives Budget Committee “Vote on new fiscal year budget bill tomorrow” Chairman Onodera decides ex officio. The opposition parties are strongly objecting to the move, and the heads of the parliamentary task force from four parties, including the Constitutional Democratic Party of Japan, are hurriedly meeting to discuss how to respond.
The ruling party hopes to vote on the bill at the plenary session following the committee on March 1st, and pass it through the House of Representatives.
