The Constitutional Democratic Party has taken precautions in the name of Secretary-General Nishimura, saying that Shinji Oguma, acting secretary-general, entered Ukraine, where the Ministry of Foreign Affairs has recommended evacuation, without prior application to the Diet.

During the Golden Week holidays, Deputy Secretary General Oguma of the Constitutional Democratic Party entered Ukraine, where the Ministry of Foreign Affairs issued the highest level 4 danger information and recommended evacuation, and posted the situation on Twitter.



Mr. Oguma applied to the Diet in advance for plans to visit Poland, Romania, etc., and was approved at the plenary session of the House of Representatives, but Ukraine was not included in the plan.



In response to this, on the 10th, the Constitutional Democratic Party said that Mr. Oguma's actions were very problematic, and took precautions in the name of Secretary-General Nishimura and took measures to suspend the position of acting secretary-general for one month.



Mr. Oguma said in an interview with the party, "I met people returning to Ukraine in Poland and visited with indignation that I had to see the site. I'm sorry for my careless actions." The party says it was "not a planned action."



Prior to this, Mr. Mabuchi, the chairman of the Diet measures, received a protest from the chairman of the Liberal Democratic Party, Mr. Takagi, and apologized, "We apologize for the inconvenience."

Chief Cabinet Secretary "I should have stopped traveling"

Chief Cabinet Secretary Matsuno said at a press conference in the afternoon, "I heard from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs that the Ministry of Foreign Affairs plans to visit Poland, Romania and Moldova in advance to observe the situation of Ukrainian refugees during the holidays. , There was no prior explanation about the trip to Ukraine, and it was reported that the Ministry of Foreign Affairs did not know it. "



He added, "I am regrettable that I have issued a'danger information level 4'that means an evacuation advisory throughout Ukraine and I think that this trip should have been canceled."
