Amendment to the referendum law Difficult situation in the session House of Representatives Constitution Examination May 29 5:38
The amendment to the referendum law, which is still under deliberation at the constitutional examination committee of the House of Representatives, is difficult for the ruling and opposition parties to negotiate within the current session of the Diet.
The House of Representatives Constitution Examination Committee was held on the 28th for the first time in the current Diet, and free discussions were held by members of the ruling and opposition parties over the referendum law, which established procedures for constitutional revision.
The ruling party wants to hold a question and vote early in the examination committee on the amendment to the referendum law, which is still under deliberation.
On the other hand, the opposition parties are not agreeing that they should discuss the regulation such as TV advertisements accompanying the referendum with priority.
For this reason, it is difficult to pass the amendment to the referendum law within the current session of the Diet until the 17th of next month.
