Communist Director Koike Secretary General Opposition to the Second Supplementary Budget Plan Extension of the session at 21:56 on June 8

Regarding the second supplementary budget for this year, the secretary general of the Communist Party, Koike, opposed the idea that reserves accounted for one-third of the budget. On the other hand, he called for an extension of the session because he needed a third supplementary budget plan to support medical care.

The second supplementary budget for this year's measures against the new coronavirus, which has been deliberated on the 8th, is expected to be approved on the 12th after deliberation by the House of Representatives and the House of Representatives.

"The biggest problem with the budget plan is the 10 trillion yen reserve fund, which accounts for one-third of the budget," said Koike, secretary-general of the Communist Party, in a press conference. He said and pointed out his opposition.

On the other hand, Mr. Koike said, "I would like to ask the government to promptly formulate and submit the third supplementary budget bill to support medical care and nursing care. It is necessary to extend the session of the Diet in order to rectify its political stance."
