At a press conference, the LDP Secretary-General Nikai said about the Tokyo Olympics and Paralympics, "Although the opposition parties may say various things, we would like to cooperate firmly with the party in accordance with Prime Minister Suga's policy."

In addition, regarding the party leader debate on the 9th, "If you can state your daily thoughts firmly, the party will firmly support Prime Minister Suga under any circumstances, so we will discuss firmly without looking back. I want you to live up to the expectations of the people. "

Edano, the representative of the Constitutional Democratic Party, said at the party's board of directors, "The government has no answer and no basis for whether the Tokyo Olympics and Paralympics can be held to protect the lives and health of the people. I am very sorry that I was in a situation where I was voicing delusions. If I force the event, I have to ask the people to explain it so that they can feel at ease, and I will approach it in the party leader debate. "

Secretary-general Fukuyama of the Constitutional Democratic Party told reporters, "There are criteria such as the medical system and indicators of the number of infected people in holding a safe and secure tournament, but the government did not answer anything and it was a completely dishonest answer. That's why I asked, "You should consult an expert subcommittee," but there is no clear answer here either. On the other hand, when asked if the emergency declaration will be lifted on June 20, that will ask the expert. That attitude is also a good thing about double standard. "

At a press conference, the Communist Party's secretary general, Koike, said, "I was confident that the Prime Minister's answer was not enough. I answered in a short phrase and never spoke in my own words. I really want to hold the tournament. If so, we should talk about the specific risks and how to overcome them. I have never heard of such a compelling story. "
