Former Prime Minister Abe apologized at the Diet on the 25th for the fact that his past answers were different from the facts on the issue of the social gathering the night before the "Sakura wo Miru Kai".
Many people in the ruling party think that they have fulfilled a certain level of accountability, but the opposition party will continue to ask for Mr. Abe's witness summons, saying that the doubts have not been dispelled.
Former Prime Minister Abe apologized at the House Steering Committee of both Houses of Representatives on the 25th for the issue of the social gathering held the night before the "Sakura wo Miru Kai", saying that the past answers were different from the facts. I answered the questions of each party.
Within the ruling party, there are many people who think that a certain level of accountability has been fulfilled, such as "Mr. Abe responded in good faith," and I would like to break this issue.
On the other hand, the opposition party has a policy of continuing to request intensive deliberation by the Budget Committee and summoning of Mr. Abe's witnesses, saying that the explanation of the facts is insufficient and questions such as his involvement have not been dispelled. ..
Meanwhile, the opposition party said that the prosecution had launched a forced investigation on the issue that former Minister of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries Yoshikawa, who was a member of the House of Representatives of the Liberal Democratic Party, was suspected of receiving cash from a former representative of a major chicken egg production company while he was in office. We are seeking to invite Mr. Yoshikawa's witnesses, and next year, the confrontation between the ruling and opposition parties is likely to intensify even before the ordinary session of the Diet.
