The Liberal Democratic Party has a policy of carefully determining the content and scope of punishment for members involved in issues related to factional political funding parties. Prime Minister Kishida stated at the House of Councilors Budget Committee on the 5th that the future response to the relevant members would be, ''After understanding the actual situation and taking into account the person's full accountability, we will not take any political responsibility such as punishment'' A political ethics review committee is expected to be held next week, and negotiations between the ruling and opposition parties will begin in earnest.
