Concerning “The Cherry Blossom Viewing Party,” Prime Minister Abe explained at the House of Councilors plenary session that the list of invitees was discarded as scheduled, and that it was not related to material requests from opposition lawmakers. On the other hand, the opposition party will continue to ask for a budget committee meeting, assuming that the answer is insufficient.

The Prime Minister Abe explained at the plenary session of the House of Councilors on the 2nd of the "Observing the Cherry Blossoms Meeting" about the disposal of the list of invitees, "I did it as planned and has nothing to do with material requests from opposition lawmakers." He also stressed that there was no personal relationship with the former chairman of Japan Life, which the opposition party is pursuing.

On the other hand, Secretary-General Fukuyama of the Constitutional Democratic Party criticized, “Prime Minister Abe is not fulfilling accountability at all. There are too many unsatisfactory answers like child tricks.”

The opposition party will continue to call for a intensive discussion by the Budget Committee, as Prime Minister Abe's answer to the plenary session is not sufficient.

On the other hand, the second-level secretary general of the Liberal Democratic Party said, “I think Prime Minister Abe explained enough. I was convinced.”

The ruling party said that Prime Minister Abe is fulfilling accountability, and the current Diet session is not responding to intensive deliberations, but has a policy of urgently approving trade agreements between the United States and Japan. Discussions are expected to be active.
