It was.

The Diet ended the session on the 16th, and the four opposition parties, including the Constitutional Democratic Party, extended the session by three months to the ruling party, saying that it is necessary to formulate a supplementary budget because the influence of the new coronavirus continues. I was looking for it.



In response to this, Prime Minister Suga, who returned from the United Kingdom after the G7 summit, met at the Prime Minister's Office from around 4:30 pm with the Secretary-General of the Liberal Democratic Party and the Chairman of the Diet Countermeasures Committee Moriyama to discuss the response.



And from 5:30 pm around, met with Moriyama Mr. Azumi Diet Affairs Committee Chairman of the Constitutional Democratic Party, on the government bill was submitted that stands prospect that generally toward the establishment, also necessary discussed with the closing of the Diet He said that it was possible, and said that he would not respond to the three-month extension of the session requested by the opposition party.

As a result, the four opposition parties have decided to submit a motion of no confidence in the Suga Cabinet to the Diet on the 15th, saying that it is not permissible to close the Diet now that discussions on measures against the new coronavirus are necessary.



The ruling party has a policy of immediately vetoing the resolution, saying that the Suga Cabinet is not worthy of distrust.

Representative Edano of the Constitutional Democratic Party "Agreement on joint submission by the four opposition parties"

Edano, the representative of the Constitutional Democratic Party, said, "It was a disappointing answer that the ruling party could not accept the extension of the session without paying attention to our request. We agreed to submit the proposal jointly by the four opposition parties. "



He also said, "There are many things that deserve distrust, such as the fact that we may not respond to requests for extension of the session, and the situation of the Suga Cabinet, which has not been able to protect the lives and livelihoods of the people in the first place. I would like to show that as the intention of the four parties. "

Communist Shii Chairman "Political Responsibility Disclaimer"

At a press conference, the Communist Party chairman Shii said, "Rejecting the extension of the Diet is a waiver of political responsibility. The current administration cannot save the lives of the people and experts point out that the risk of infection increases. The attitude of forcing the Tokyo Olympics and Paralympics to be held deserves distrust. "

Representative Tamaki, "I can't save the people's lives and economy."

Tamaki, the representative of the Democratic Party for the People, told reporters, "If Japan does not take large-scale economic measures, Japan will lose alone in the world, and there is not enough financial support for people and businesses in need. I agreed with the submission of the resolution because it could not save the economy. If the House of Representatives were to be dissolved, I would like to appeal for changes in economic policy and fight the election. "

Social Democratic Party leader Fukushima "A vote of no confidence is natural"

Fukushima, the leader of the Social Democratic Party, told reporters, "The Suga Cabinet has not been able to take any measures against the new coronavirus, and if we open the Tokyo Olympics and Paralympics without extending the session of the Diet, we will see the spread of infection. It's clearer. It's only natural that the opposition parties will come together to issue a resolution to distrust the Cabinet. "

Liberal Democratic Party of Moriyama Diet Affairs Committee Chairman is "just told reporters, from Azumi Diet Affairs Committee Chairman of the Constitutional Democratic Party, it gave me a contact to the effect that to submit a motion of no confidence proposed to the prospect of tomorrow morning at 9 o'clock. Extremely regrettable However, I would like to hold a plenary session of the House of Representatives tomorrow afternoon to settle a vote of no confidence in the Cabinet. The current Cabinet is not worthy of any distrust. "



Then, when the reporters asked, "Does the settlement mean veto?", He said, "It's natural."



In addition, the LDP secretary-general said that if a motion of no confidence in the cabinet was submitted, the House of Representatives should be dissolved. So I think there is probably a discussion between Prime Minister Suga and the Secretary-General, which means that the Secretary-General will make a suggestion. "
