The Liberal Democratic Party and the Constitutional Democratic Party, the chairman of the National Assembly, will meet on the state of emergency declaration of 10 prefectures, which is due on the 20th of this month. I agreed.
The state of emergency issued to 10 prefectures such as Tokyo, Osaka, and Aichi as a countermeasure against the new coronavirus is due on the 20th of this month, and the government has canceled the declaration in areas where the infection situation is improving. We are also considering shifting to priority measures such as prevention of spread.
In response to this, if the Liberal Democratic Party chairman Moriyama and the Constitutional Democratic Party chairman Jun Azumi meet and the government decides on a policy, the House of Representatives will operate from 2:00 pm and the House of Councilors from 3:00 pm on the 17th. We agreed to meet a committee, receive reports from the government, and ask questions.
In addition, Mr. Azumi requested that Prime Minister Suga attend the House Steering Committee in light of the fact that the Tokyo Olympics are about to start next month, while Mr. Moriyama responded with Mr. Nishimura, the Minister in charge of economic revitalization. The ruling and opposition parties will continue to discuss the idea of wanting to do so.
On the other hand, since the ordinary Diet session closes on the 16th, Mr. Azumi requested that a review be held during the closing session, saying that it is necessary to continue discussions on measures against the new coronavirus, while Mr. Moriyama responded by the government. While watching, I conveyed the idea that I would like to continue discussions.
