Opposition party Pursuing the Kitamura Regional Revitalization Response to the ruling party.
At the Diet, the Minister for Regional Revitalization of Kitamura apologized for the defense of the "Sakura Viewing Association" over the management of official documents. Opposition parties will continue to pursue the matter in the intensive deliberations on the 12th, while the ruling party intends to steadily proceed with deliberations and aim to pass the new year's budget bill through the lower house in the month.
The House of Representatives Budget Committee on Tuesday apologized that the Minister for Regional Revitalization of Kitamura had misunderstood and explained last week's answer to the Sakura Viewing Association's official document management last week. There was also a scene where he left temporarily because he was not satisfied with the Minister's answer.
The Democratic Party's chairman of the National Assembly, Haraguchi, said, "I have no qualifications as a minister, and am I supposed to be such a minister? Prime Minister Abe should be fired up."
Opposition parties will continue to pursue Prime Minister Kitamura and Prime Minister Abe over a meeting to see cherry blossoms during the intensive deliberations held on the 12th.
On the other hand, the Liberal Democratic Party's Chairman of the Moriyama Diet's task force said, "The minister's answer must not be mistaken or misunderstood, but because he is a human, sometimes it happens."
The ruling party intends to steadily proceed with deliberations, including holding a central hearing, which will be a prerequisite for voting next week, in order to finalize the new annual budget by the end of the year.
