In less than a month until the end of the Diet session, the government and the ruling party have postponed the enactment of amendments to the Immigration Control and Refuge Act, which will review the detention of foreigners.
While the ruling party intends to pass the remaining important bills, the opposition party has a policy of requesting corrections because some bills have many problems, and the ruling and opposition parties are expected to intensify the offense and defense in view of the lower house election. ..
Regarding the amendment to the Immigration Control Act, which reviews the detention of foreigners, the government and the ruling party said that the opposition party had asked for the truth about the death of a Sri Lankan woman in the detention facility and could not accept the vote. Based on this, we decided to forgo the establishment of the current Diet, and on the 18th, the LDP Secretary-General Nikai told the Constitutional Democratic Party Secretary-General Fukuyama.
Regarding this, while there is a perception within the ruling party that "while the approval rating of the Cabinet is declining, it is unavoidable to make a judgment in anticipation of the impact on the lower house elections, etc." There are also concerns such as "may be connected".
The ruling party is approaching the end of the Diet session on the 16th of next month, so a bill to review the burden of medical expenses for the elderly and a bill that includes restrictions on the use of land around facilities that are important for security. We are planning to enact the remaining important bills within the session.
On the other hand, the opposition party has a policy of requesting amendment, saying that the bill that includes restrictions on the use of land etc. has many problems such as leading to restrictions on private rights.
In addition, the government's response to the new corona is expected to intensify the offensive, saying that vaccination has caused confusion and other missteps are continuing.
