Concerning the new bill to help the victims of the former Unification Church, the Constitutional Democratic Party of Japan's secretary-general Okada said that the current contents would not be enough to regulate malicious donations through so-called mind control. I emphasized the idea of asking for a fix.
The government and ruling parties are aiming to pass a new bill to help the victims of the former Unification Church within the session period by the 10th of this month, saying that it reflects the demands of the opposition parties as much as possible. We are looking into whether there is room.
Secretary-General Okada of the Constitutional Democratic Party of Japan (CDP) told reporters during a visit to Miyako City, Iwate Prefecture, ``The bill has been devised to include penalties, but it has not reached a passing score. The most important point is not clear as to whether the willingness to donate will be a reason for cancellation.The current bill is not sufficient."
On top of that, ``In the deliberations of the Diet, it is necessary to listen to the opinions of witnesses, and if an agreement cannot be reached immediately after the debate, it must be recorded in the minutes. I don't think it will come," he said, acknowledging that it would be difficult to enact it by the end of the current session of the Diet if he could not agree on a revision of the bill promptly.
Representative Izumi "I want to respond to everything"
Izumi, head of the Constitutional Democratic Party of Japan, was asked by reporters in Inzai City, Chiba Prefecture, whether there were plans for a meeting between the leaders of the ruling and opposition parties. I want to do whatever it takes to make it into a bill," he said.
He then said, "Despite the government's efforts, we have not yet reached our goal. We are asking the Kishida administration to do our best, and I would like to encourage them to make a decision."
