An explanation of an executive who said that the opposition party "does not remember" over the fact that it was reported that the broadcasting business was talked about at a dinner between an executive of the Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications and the eldest son of Prime Minister Suga who works for a satellite broadcasting related company.

Regarding the dinner between the executives of the Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications and the eldest son of Prime Minister Suga who works for a satellite broadcasting related company, on the 17th, "Bunshun Online" reported that the broadcasting business was talked about at the dinner with the director of the Information Distribution Administration Bureau Akimoto. We released the audio data that recorded a part of it.
Regarding this, at the board meeting of the Budget Committee of the House of Representatives on the 18th, the Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications admitted that part of the voice was the voice of Director Akimoto, but on the topic of the broadcasting business, "I do not remember him. The opposition party opposed the explanation, and the opposition party's committee question was not held.
The ruling party has also pointed out that the Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications needs to answer sincerely, and at the Budget Committee on the 19th, the Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications interviewed the eldest sons of Prime Minister Suga. I will report it.
The ruling party wants to steadily proceed with deliberations on the budget for the new fiscal year by encouraging the Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications to give a polite explanation and aim to pass the House of Representatives by the beginning of next month.
However, the opposition party is planning to continue pursuing it, saying, "The explanation that I do not remember is unacceptable and the truth should be thoroughly investigated."
