LDP talks about not accepting the early assembly of the extraordinary Diet 8:45, August 4

The Liberal Democratic Party and the Chairman of the National Assembly Countermeasures Committee of the Constitutional Democratic Party met with each other over the deliberation of the Diet, and expressed the idea that the Liberal Democratic Party would not be able to meet early in the extraordinary Diet session. On the other hand, in order to discuss how to deal with the new coronavirus, we decided to show a positive attitude to the examination during the closing session and discuss the deliberation schedule.

Last week, four opposition parties, including the Constitutional Democratic Party, submitted a request for an early convocation of the Extraordinary Diet based on constitutional provisions, stating that the response to the new coronavirus and heavy rain disaster should be discussed.

Against this backdrop, the LDP's Chairman of the Diet, Moriyama's National Assembly, and the Constitutional Democratic Party's Chairman, the Azumi Diet's meeting chairman, met on the afternoon of the 4th to discuss the future Diet session.

Mr. Moriyama, on the other hand, told him that he could not accept the early convocation because the bills to be discussed in the Diet have not been decided.

On the other hand, Mr. Azumi sought the opportunity to ask Prime Minister Abe a question as soon as possible even if he did not hold the Diet, whereas Mr. The two committees have shown a positive attitude to conduct a closing examination at a committee related to the response, and they will meet again on the 5th to discuss the deliberation schedule.
