The Liberal Democratic Party has begun discussions on the establishment of a "Children's Office" that is responsible for centralized policies, while the Constitutional Democratic Party has been promoting policies while staying close to the family. It is expected that discussions will become more active on both the ruling and opposition parties in view of the House of Representatives election.
Discussion begins to establish the Liberal Democratic Party "Children's Office"
The Liberal Democratic Party, under the direction of Prime Minister Suga, launched a new institution on the 13th to start discussions on the ideal state of administration regarding children, with the aim of establishing a "Children's Office" that will centrally carry out policies. ..
On that basis, we will proceed with studies on prevention of abuse, coping with child poverty, unification of the competent authorities of kindergartens and nursery schools, etc., and aim to reflect them in the promises of the House of Representatives election and the "bone-shaped policy" of this year.
To consider a counter-proposal for the establishment of the Constitutional Democratic Party "Children's Family Agency"
On the other hand, the Constitutional Democratic Party has decided to consider a counter-proposal with a view to legislation in order to establish a "Children's Family Agency" that promotes policies while staying close to the family.
In addition, there is a voice within the party that it should be widely unified, including work related to compulsory education, and I would like to show the proposal to the Liberal Democratic Party as soon as it is finalized and call for discussions between the ruling and opposition parties.
In each case, the issues are how much the new organization can play and the pros and cons of reorganizing the central government ministries, and it is expected that discussions will become more active between the ruling and opposition parties in view of the House of Representatives election to be held by autumn. ..
