Regarding the Liberal Democratic Party's political affairs research chairman Hagiuda, who indicated that it was necessary to dissolve the House of Representatives and hold a general election before the tax increase accompanying the increase in defense spending, Yamaguchi, leader of the Komeito party, said, ``We do not have the authority to dissolve the House of Representatives. People should refrain from speaking out," he criticized.
In December, Liberal Democratic Party political affairs research chairman Hagiuda expressed the view that the House of Representatives should be dissolved and a general election should be held in order to question the public's trust before the tax increase accompanying the increase in defense spending.
Regarding this, Komeito representative Yamaguchi said in the recording of the BS11 program "Liberal Time", "The dissolution of the House of Representatives is a matter of the exclusive right of Prime Minister Kishida. You should refrain from saying that you should not disband for this reason," he criticized.
Regarding the government's consideration of measures to strengthen countermeasures against the declining birthrate, Mr. Yamaguchi said, ``First of all, we need to thoroughly discuss what to do and in what order, and gain the public's understanding. We should avoid coming out in advance."
