The initial budget proposal for the new year in Tokyo has been passed by the Metropolitan Assembly Committee. The Liberal Democratic Party, which criticized Governor Koike's metropolitan administration for two years in a row, turned for the first time in three years.

The Tokyo Metropolitan Government's initial budget proposal for the new fiscal year 2020, which includes expenses for the Tokyo Olympics and Paralympics, is the second largest in the past, with a total of 7,354 billion yen in general accounts.

It was voted on by the Budget Special Committee of the Tokyo Metropolitan Assembly, which was held on the 25th, and was approved by the Tokyo People's First Association, the Komeito Party, and the LDP.

The LDP criticized Governor Koike's metropolitan administration and opposed the original budget for two years in a row, but said, "After the postponement of the Tokyo Games, the LDP demanded the redevelopment of the former Tsukiji Market Governor Koike has announced the review, "he argued for the first time in three years, saying he needed to cooperate with severe situations such as the spread of the new coronavirus.

Mr. Akihiro Suzuki, Secretary-General of the LDP of the Tokyo Metropolitan Assembly, held a press conference and explained, "I agree because the governor side has approached me. It is a bitter choice, but it is necessary to advance together."

On the other hand, the response to the July governor's election following the expiration of Governor Koike's term was merely a statement stating that "it is different from supporting the budget proposal."

The initial budget for the new fiscal year in Tokyo is expected to be approved and approved at the plenary session on 27th.
