Reiwa Yamamoto Representative Requests Ministry of Foreign Affairs to financially support Japanese living overseas May 19 19:21
As the new coronavirus infection spreads worldwide, Reiwa Shinsengumi representative Yamamoto requested the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to provide financial support, saying that Japanese living overseas are also forced to take leave.
Representative Yamamoto of the Reiwa Shinsengumi met with Parliamentary Vice-Minister Nakayama of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs on the 1st and handed out a proposal that the Japanese living overseas need assistance.
The proposal requires the government to arrange a chartered aircraft and pay for the cost, considering the fact that international flights are suspended one after another when Japanese living overseas wish to return to Japan.
In addition, I have been forced to take holidays overseas and need financial support, so I am requesting that the same cash benefit of 100,000 yen be applied to those who live in Japan.
Mr. Yamamoto told reporters, "President Namiyama responded," I would like to be able to respond if I could receive information. "I think that there are Japanese nationals overseas who have lost their income. Without support, it would be a life threat. So the government needs to reach out. "
