Large-scale infectious disease in constitutional amendment item "emergency response" LDP July 26, 4:06

In response to the spread of the new coronavirus, the Liberal Democratic Party's League of Parliament is recommending that the party add a large-scale infectious disease to the “emergency response” listed as one of the constitutional amendments.

The Liberal Democratic Party cites “emergency response” as one of the items to amend the constitution, and temporarily extends the term of office of the Diet members and the authority of the government as an exception in the event of a large-scale disaster such as a large earthquake. I am aiming for things like that.

Regarding this, the Parliamentary League, which is chaired by the former LDP's Shimomura/Constitutional Reform Promotion Headquarters, recommends that large-scale infectious diseases should be included in the “emergency response” in response to the spread of the new coronavirus. I am.

The Parliamentary Union will hold a general meeting at the end of next month to formalize the proposals, apply to the party, and promptly promote discussions in the Diet.

Mr. Shimomura said, "I don't know when the second and third waves of the infection will occur. I need a speedy response."
