The ruling and opposition parties continue to discuss the pros and cons of opening the House of Representatives Political Ethics Committee. While the opposition parties are demanding that the hearing be made public, the Liberal Democratic Party has proposed a plan that would allow only members of the Diet to observe the hearing.

The ruling party hopes to have the new fiscal year budget bill passed after the review committee to ensure its enactment within the fiscal year. It is expected that there will be a battle between the ruling andOpposition parties over the voting schedule.
