Lower House Budget Committee Discussion on ruling and opposition parties in intensive deliberations today 4:24 on February 12

In the Diet, intensive deliberations are held on the 12th by the House of Representatives Budget Committee, and a ruling and opposition debate will be held over measures to respond to the new coronavirus and the “Cherry Blossom Viewing Party”.

At the Lower House Budget Committee, which is deliberating on the new fiscal year's budget, Prime Minister Abe and others will be attending and intensive deliberations will be held on the theme of responding to the new coronavirus.

In addition, the ruling party has sought to explain the government's efforts for recovery and reconstruction from disasters and the provision of free early childhood education and childcare.

Opposition parties are pursuing Prime Minister Abe and the Minister of Regional Affairs for Kitamura Regional Revitalization, which is in charge of public document management, over the "Cherry Blossom Viewing Party," and will also squash the extension of the office of the Tokyo High Public Prosecutor's Office.

The ruling party intends to steadily conduct deliberations, such as holding a central hearing as a prerequisite for voting next week, in preparation for the finalization of the budget draft within the fiscal year, and wants to pass the lower house in the month.

On the other hand, the opposition parties have a policy of requesting thorough deliberations, such as holding more concentrated deliberations, and it is expected that the ruling and opposition parties will discuss the future deliberations.
