Regarding the relationship with the former Unification Church, the LDP announced that 179 members of the Diet, nearly half of whom it belongs to, had some kind of connection.
Some senior party officials have said that they would like to have a certain break, but the opposition party is poised to continue pursuing it, saying that the relationship between former Prime Minister Abe and the church has not been clarified.
On the 8th, the Liberal Democratic Party announced the results of having 379 members of the Diet report in writing about their relationship with the former Unification Church, and revealed that nearly half, or 179 members, had some kind of contact.
Secretary-General Motegi said, ``I don't think it's small, but I take it seriously and honestly reflect.
The Liberal Democratic Party will continue to make explanations to each member of the Diet as necessary, but some executives say, ``I want to make a certain break with this announcement.''
In response to this, Azumi, chairman of the Constitutional Democratic Party's Diet Affairs Committee, criticized, "It's just giving the world a sense of 'I'm doing it,' and I can't help but conclude that it's not true."
The opposition parties have not clarified the relationship between former Prime Minister Abe and the church, and they will continue to pursue the matter, saying that not only Diet members but also local assembly members should be clarified.
