Former Unification Church Victim Relief Bill Expected to Pass House of Representatives Tomorrow

The ruling and opposition parties agreed to vote on a new bill to help victims of the former Unification Church at a special committee and plenary session of the House of Representatives on the 8th, and it is expected to pass the House of Representatives on the 8th.

With the end of the current session of the Diet approaching on Saturday, the 10th of this week, a special committee of the House of Representatives will hold deliberations on a new bill to regulate malicious donations to help the victims of the former Unification Church from the 6th. I'm here.

The special committee was held at the board meeting on the morning of the 7th, and on the morning of the 8th, Prime Minister Kishida attended and asked questions, after which the ruling and opposition parties agreed to vote on the bill.

In response to this, the ruling and opposition parties agreed that the board of directors of the House of Representatives Steering Committee would vote at the plenary session after the special committee meeting on the 8th, and the bill would pass the House of Representatives on the 8th and be sent to the House of Councillors. I got a perspective.

Regarding the new bill, the Liberal Democratic Party, based on discussions with the Constitutional Democratic Party of Japan, has a special committee, and if a corporation that solicits donations fails to take care of it, it will make recommendations and make amendments such as announcing the name of the corporation. We are making adjustments along the way.

Regarding the response to the new bill, Azumi, the chairman of the Constitutional Democratic Party's Diet Affairs Committee, told reporters on the morning of the 7th, "In order to increase the effectiveness of the bill, we are now making final adjustments and have a 'sufficient' consideration. "That's one piece of wisdom. 'Enough' is not a word to take lightly, and when enshrined in law, its scope and power are far greater than those of a normal duty of care."

After that, he said, ``I want the ruling and opposition parties to agree on the schedule in the House of Councilors in the remaining session,'' and indicated his intention to enact it by the end of the session on the 10th of this week.

In addition, when asked whether the Constitutional Democratic Party would support the bill if such amendments were made, Mr. Azumi said, "I leave it up to Representative Izumi and Secretary-General Okada, and I would like to leave it to their discretion." said.
