At the extraordinary Diet session convened on the 3rd, Prime Minister Kishida emphasized his determination to aim for economic revitalization by addressing high prices and working on structural wage increases.
Opposition parties point out that the government's economic measures are inadequate, and they plan to pursue the issue of the former Unification Church, and the debate between the ruling and opposition parties will begin on the 5th.
An extraordinary session of the Diet was convened on the 3rd to serve as the stage for the first full-scale debate after the House of Councilors election in July.
In his policy speech, Prime Minister Kishida emphasized that the Japanese economy would be revived without fail, and indicated that he would focus on addressing rising prices and structurally raising wages.
On the other hand, regarding the relationship with the former Unification Church, he expressed his intention to take all possible measures to help victims such as malicious donations while fulfilling accountability and promoting efforts to restore trust.
Within the ruling party, the LDP Secretary-General Motegi praised the situation, saying, "I was able to convey his enthusiasm for tackling the issue." We are aiming for the early enactment of the second supplementary budget bill for this fiscal year, which will serve as the basis for this.
In response to this, opposition party leader Izumi Izumi of the Constitutional Democratic Party of Japan pointed out, "It's too late and inadequate to say 'economic measures' now." I can't feel it," he criticized.
Questions from representatives of each party on the policy speech will be held at the plenary session of both houses of the House of Representatives for three days from the 5th, and the opposition party plans to pursue the issue of the former Unification Church in addition to the government's economic measures. Debate begins.
