Opposition opposition to the explanation of the Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications of the House of Representatives Budget Committee

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 affiliate, the Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications said at the board of directors of the Budget Committee of the House of Representatives that the broadcasting business had been talked about. I'm talking that I don't remember. "

Opposition parties opposed this, and the committee deliberations in the morning began with a significant delay.

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, "Bunshun Online" reported on the 17th that the broadcasting business was talked about at the dinner with the director of the Information Distribution Administration Bureau, Akimoto. Opposition parties such as the Constitutional Democratic Party have asked the government and the ruling party for explanation because they released audio data that allegedly recorded a part of it.

In response to this, at the board meeting of the Budget Committee of the House of Representatives on the 18th, the Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications said, "While Director Akimoto admits that his voice is recorded in the voice, whether there was any exchange related to the broadcasting business. I'm talking that I don't remember. "

On top of that, the Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications may overturn the facts that it has grasped so far, and while interviewing the people concerned again, who will bear the number and cost of the series of dinners that the opposition party had requested earlier. He said that he would submit the results of the survey on whether or not he did so by the 22nd of next week as much as possible.

On the other hand, the opposition party responded, "It is not explained that I do not remember only the part related to the important broadcasting business," and the question of the House of Representatives Budget Committee scheduled from 9 am was delayed by nearly 3 hours. It started before noon.

Regarding future deliberations, it is expected that discussions will continue between the ruling and opposition parties' chairman of the National Assembly Countermeasures Committee and the lead director.
