Regarding the session of the extraordinary Diet to be convened on the 3rd, the Board of Directors of the House of Representatives Steering Committee has confirmed its policy to set it to 3 days until the 5th of this month.
Regarding the session of the extraordinary Diet that will be convened on the 3rd to elect the new chairman of the House of Councilors, on the 1st, the chairmen of the Diet Affairs Committee of the Liberal Democratic Party and the Constitutional Democratic Party met and discussed the "state funeral" of former Prime Minister Abe. It was agreed that it would be three days until the 5th of this month, on the condition that the examination would be held during the closed session.
At the board meeting of the House of Representatives Steering Committee on the 2nd, the Communist Party objected, saying, ``The session of the Diet should be extended and discussions such as state funerals should be held during the session,'' but other opposition parties are on the side of the ruling party. We accepted the proposal and confirmed the policy to set the session to 3 days.
On the other hand, the Constitutional Democratic Party of Japan passed a resolution recommending the resignation of a member of the House of Representatives, Takeshi Yoshikawa, who resigned from the Liberal Democratic Party after it was reported that he encouraged an 18-year-old woman to drink. While conveying the idea of submitting a proposal, the ruling party said, ``The position of Diet members is important, and I would like to ask for careful consideration.''
