Following the party leaders' debate on the 9th, the ruling party said that it would not be allowed to close the parliament in the urgent need for measures against the new coronavirus after the chairpersons of the three opposition parties, including the Constitutional Democratic Party, discussed future measures. We confirmed that if we do not respond to the extension of the three-month session, we will consider submitting a motion of no confidence in the Cabinet as one of the important options.
The Constitutional Democratic Party, the Communist Party, and the Democratic Party for the People's Democratic Party, the three opposition parties, met in the Diet, and in the party leaders' debate on the 9th, they prepared a supplementary budget for this year to strengthen measures against the new coronavirus. We agreed that there was no convincing answer from Prime Minister Kan regarding the necessity of extending the Diet, which will reach the end of the session on the 16th next week.
On top of that, if the ruling party does not respond to the extension of the three-month session, it is an important option to submit a motion of no confidence in the Cabinet, saying that it is not permissible to close the Diet amid uncertain prospects for the end of infection and urgent measures. I confirmed the policy to consider as one of.
Then, on the afternoon of the 10th, the leaders of the four opposition parties, including the Social Democratic Party, will be held.
The Constitutional Democratic Party's chairman of the National Assembly, Azumi, told reporters, "I can't think of closing the Diet right now. I would like the ruling party to think carefully about the extension of the session and get answers."
