Prior to the state of emergency targeting one metropolitan area and three prefectures, the Liberal Democratic Party's chairman of the political investigation, Shimomura, asked the government to raise cooperation money for businesses in response to requests for shortening business hours at a press conference. I showed my thoughts.

In this, Mr. Shimomura, the chairman of the political affairs investigation, said, "We should significantly increase support for shortening business hours," and asked the government to raise cooperation money for businesses in response to requests for shortening business hours. Shown.



He also indicated that he would like to expand the special measures of "employment adjustment subsidy" for large food and beverage companies and to support companies that have transactions with businesses that shorten business hours.



On the other hand, Mr. Shimomura says that the penalties for businesses, which is one of the focal points of the revision of the Special Measures Law for New Coronavirus Countermeasures, should be not criminal penalties but fines for not responding to leave requests. Showed recognition.
