With the end of the Diet session on the 16th next week, the opposition party is prepared to decide whether to submit a motion of no confidence in the Cabinet unless it responds to the extension of the session for three months, while the ruling party has no reason to distrust it. With the policy of enacting the remaining bills within the session, the confrontation over the treatment of the session is intensifying.
On the 11th, before the end of the Diet session on the 16th next week, the Liberal Democratic Party and the Constitutional Democratic Party's chairman of the Diet measures will meet. He called for an extension of the three-month session, saying that the Diet should be held in case of an unforeseen situation during the Tokyo Olympics and Paralympics.
On the other hand, the Liberal Democratic Party said on the 14th that Prime Minister Suga, who is attending the G7 summit = the summit of the seven major countries, will discuss the response with the secretary general of the second floor after returning from the United Kingdom on the 14th. I told him I would answer in the evening.
The ruling party refused to respond to the opposition's request, saying that the government needs to concentrate on measures against the new coronavirus, and the remaining bills such as a bill to regulate the use of land around security-important facilities such as the base of the Self-Defense Forces. It is a policy to establish it within the session.
On the other hand, some ruling parties are considering extending the session for a few days in case the conflict with the opposition party becomes fierce.
The opposition party is willing to decide how to handle the submission of a motion of no confidence in the Cabinet if the ruling party responds that it will not accept the extension of the session, while the ruling party has no reason to distrust it and leaves a political gap. There is a repulsion that it should not be made, and the confrontation is getting stronger over the treatment of the session.
