10 trillion yen contingency Opposition party “clearly use” Government of the ruling party Considering prior explanation June 5, 6:25
Regarding the second supplementary budget plan for the new coronavirus countermeasures, the opposition party has sought to clarify the use of the reserve fund of 10 trillion yen. On the other hand, the government and the ruling party are considering explaining as much as possible in advance, and would like to enter into deliberation next week and establish it.
With the remaining 10 days remaining until the end of the session, the second supplementary budget for this year's measures against the new coronavirus will be submitted to the Diet on the 8th of next week.
The opposition party intends to pursue "sustainable benefits" for small and medium-sized enterprises, and how to outsource the "Go To Campaign" to stimulate consumption such as tourism.
In addition, the 10 trillion yen of contingency fund, which has not been decided in advance, is too large and demands that the purpose of use be clarified. "We can't delegate blank papers. We can't pass through suspicious people," said the Chairman of the Constitutional Democratic Party, Azumi Diet Council.
In response, Prime Minister Abe said, "It is necessary to respond flexibly. The use is limited to urgent expenses such as infection prevention measures." The government and the ruling party are considering explaining the use of reserve funds in advance as much as possible and reporting to the Diet after the closing.
Then, the second supplementary budget proposal will be deliberated at the plenary session of the House of Representatives on the 8th of next week, and after a question and answer session at the Budget Committee, we would like to make it approved on the 11th.
