The Liberal Democratic Party, the Komeito Party, and the Democratic Party for the People will start policy talks at the secretary-general level to discuss measures such as unfreezing the "trigger clause" and measures against soaring crude oil prices.
The Liberal Democratic Party and the Komeito Party and the Democratic Party for the People have agreed to discuss measures against soaring crude oil prices at the party leader's meeting last week, and will start policy talks at the secretary-general level on the 9th.
The Democratic Party for the People has decided to request the unfreezing of the "trigger clause" that suspends the taxation of the additional portion of the gasoline tax.
Given that the Japanese economy is in a difficult situation due to the situation in Ukraine, the policy is to insist on the need for economic measures of at least 10 trillion yen.
The Liberal Democratic Party wants to listen to the proposal of the Democratic Party for the People and seriously consider it, and the Komeito also has expressed its intention to discuss the effects and issues of unfreezing the "trigger clause".
Since the Democratic Party for the People's Democratic Party presupposes that the "trigger clause" will be unfrozen in the House of Councilors following the House of Representatives, the focus will be on finding a consensus among the three parties.
