Regarding the relationship with the former Unification Church, Izumi, chairman of the Constitutional Democratic Party of Japan, commented that Hosoda, Speaker of the House of Representatives, was not included in the investigation conducted earlier by the LDP, saying, "Even within the LDP, Hosoda has been pointed out to be involved. It is," and asked for accountability toward the extraordinary Diet session in autumn.
Representative Izumi of the Constitutional Democratic Party of Japan made a speech at a party meeting and said that Hosoda, Speaker of the House of Representatives, was not included in the investigation conducted by the Liberal Democratic Party regarding his relationship with the former Unification Church. I think the majority of the people don't think so. Chairman Hosoda has been pointed out to be quite involved even within the Liberal Democratic Party."
After that, he said, "I need to explain myself while the people have great doubts," and asked Hosoda to fulfill his accountability for the extraordinary Diet session in autumn.
In addition, Izumi said, ``He has repeatedly made strange remarks about the handling of the bill to increase the number of single-seat constituencies in the House of Representatives by 10, and Hosoda's stance will be questioned in this extraordinary session of the Diet. However, the Liberal Democratic Party has not targeted former Prime Minister Abe's office or local government members for investigation or inspection, and the darkness is still deep."
