In response to House of Representatives Speaker Hosoda's announcement of his acknowledgment of his relationship with the former Unification Church, the opposition parties have asked for further explanations, claiming that he did not mention whether or not he had support in the election. We are urgently considering whether to ask for an explanation.
Before the extraordinary session of the Diet is convened on the 3rd of next week, Hosoda, Speaker of the House of Representatives, acknowledged on the 29th that he had a relationship with the church, such as attending a meeting of an organization related to the former Unification Church, based on requests from the opposition party. I posted a comment.
In response, Azumi, chairman of the Constitutional Democratic Party of Japan's Diet Affairs Committee, said, "I have only acknowledged that what I have been accused of so far is true. Mr. Hosoda has long served as the chairman of the largest faction in the LDP, and has been with the former Unification Church. I can't help but assume that they had the deepest relationship.As the head of the three powers, I have a responsibility to create opportunities to answer questions."
Then, at a board meeting of the House of Representatives Steering Committee, the opposition party did not mention whether there was support for elections, etc., and in response to requesting further explanation from Chairman Hosoda, Chairman Yamaguchi confirmed with Chairman Hosoda. He expressed his intention and asked the top directors of the ruling and opposition parties to discuss the specific method of confirmation.
At the board meeting, it was agreed that Prime Minister Kishida would deliver a policy speech on the day the extraordinary session of the Diet was convened. , We are in a hurry to consider how to ask Chairman Hosoda for an explanation.
