Prime Minister Abe's resignation announcement ruling and opposition parties discuss achievements and issues NHK Sunday discussion August 30 12:29

In response to Prime Minister Abe's resignation, NHK's "Sunday Debate" emphasized the administration's achievements, saying that the ruling party had great achievements in the fields of economic affairs, foreign affairs and security, including the improvement of the employment situation. On the other hand, the opposition party argued that a political shift was necessary because it left many problems such as widening economic disparity and the base problem in Okinawa.

Liberal Democratic Party secretary-general Seiko said, “Abenomics has helped to restore stock prices and corporate performance has recovered rapidly, resulting in higher tax revenues and a situation that is no longer deflation. The employment environment has dramatically improved. We were able to raise wages firmly and achieved many results. We will establish a peace and security legislation to enable the limited exercise of collective self-defense rights, and create a situation in which Japan-US security will function effectively in a difficult environment. There were various achievements."

Secretary-General Saito of the Komeito said, "It was Prime Minister Abe who substantially completed the integrated reform of social security and tax, and started all-generation social security in the form of free early childhood education and higher education. At the stage where the consumption tax rate is 10%, we will realize a reduced tax rate and we would like to appreciate it."

Fukuyama, Secretary-General of the Constitutional Democratic Party, said, "Although employment has increased, non-regular employment is overwhelming in proportion, deflation cannot be escaped, and economically speaking, it was a government that left a big problem. And the base problem in Okinawa didn't move forward. We need to regain the tense politics of the ruling and opposition parties."

"I think that "Abenomics" is said to be "trickle down" to improve the economy from the top and to bring benefits to the people, but it did not," said Izumi, chairman of the National Democratic Party. The entire defense will be distorted, such as entering into a contract with the United States, which needs to be revised, and it will be necessary to make corrections."

Baba Secretary-General of the Japan Restoration Association said, "The three arrows of "Abenomics" were effective in finance and finance, but they could not be deregulated and could not expand the growth field. Create a new country We will continue to deal with what to do in order to do so."

The Communist Party secretary general Koike said, "By increasing the number of unconstitutional laws such as the "Specified Confidentiality Protection Law" and "Collusion Conspiracy," the consumption tax hike has had an immeasurable impact on people's lives and the Japanese economy. It's time to break up with politics and switch to a new politics."
