In the Liberal Democratic Party presidential election, policy debates by the four candidates have begun in earnest, and on the 19th, they will appeal for policies such as economy, diplomacy, and security through appearances on TV programs and online exchange of opinions.

On the 17th, the Minister of Internal Affairs and Communications Kono, former Minister of Internal Affairs and Communications Kishida, former Minister of Internal Affairs and Communications Takaichi, and Acting Secretary-General Noda, who ran for the LDP presidential election announced on the 17th, will join the new model at the debate of the Japan Press Club on the 18th. We exchanged opinions on the coronavirus medical care provision system and energy policy.



Following this, on the night of the 17th, I attended a debate on the video distribution site "Nico Nico Douga".



Regarding the balance between infection control and socio-economic activities,


Mr. Kono said, "Since the circumstances of each event are different, we should collect data firmly and restart the ones that are okay. If you have a simple inspection kit with a low cost, you can confirm the safety and expand it. "



▽ Mr. Kishida said, "The speed of mutation is very fast, and we can never be alert. Economic stimulus measures are important, but we cannot repeat the same thing as last year. We need to devise ways to move it. "



▽ Mr. Takaichi said, "If the infection situation is settled and there is no medical pressure, you can use the" Go To Campaign ", but if you force it to spread the infection, you will not have any children. The entire supply chain is damaged. Therefore, I would like to make a supplementary budget that can be covered. "



▽ Mr. Noda said, "'Go To Travel' had an economic effect. It is also a political job to deliver light to those who are having a hard time without a job in front of them.'Zero Corona 』Impossible, we have to proceed with both at some point."

In addition to appearing on TV programs on the 19th, the four will appeal their policies and philosophies through online discussion meetings.
