On the 12th, the government submitted a report compiled by the Council of Experts to the Diet on the ideal way of stable succession to the throne.
Discussions are expected to be held by each party in the future, but it is uncertain how far the discussions will progress ahead of the summer Upper House election.
On the 12th, Prime Minister Kishida handed over a report compiled last month by the government's expert council, which had met with the chairs of both houses of the Diet and discussed the ideal way of stable succession to the throne.
In the report, he said, "I'm not mature enough to discuss concretely about Yuhito's next generation and beyond," and as a measure to secure the number of royal families,
▽ a
plan that a female royal family will remain in the imperial family even after marriage. Two
plans for adopting a male royal family
are included, and on the 18th of next week, representatives of each denomination of both Houses of Representatives will receive an explanation from Chief Cabinet Secretary Matsuno.
In response to this, Secretary-general Motegi of the Liberal Democratic Party has expressed his intention to gather opinions within the party, while the Constitutional Democratic Party has a policy of setting up a committee to summarize the party's ideas, and discussions are expected to be held by each party in the future.
However, given that the upper house election is coming up in the summer, both the ruling and opposition parties have said that it should be discussed in a quiet environment and it is not desirable to be the issue of the election. It is a situation that cannot be seen.
