Regarding the Liberal Democratic Party's Secretary-General Motegi's insistence on abolishing the income limit on child allowances, the Constitutional Democratic Party's chairman of the Diet Policy Committee, Azumi, criticized the Liberal Democratic Party as having advocated the introduction of income limits in the past, and said that the birthrate is declining. He indicated that he would ask the government to explain how to secure the financial resources for the measures.
On the 28th, the Constitutional Democratic Party's Diet Affairs Committee Chair Azumi gave a lecture in Yamagata City, and in a representative question of the Diet, regarding LDP Secretary-General Motegi's insistence on abolishing income restrictions on child allowances, he said, "During the Democratic Party of Japan, Motegi was in power. As chairman of the Liberal Democratic Party's political affairs research committee, he said, 'It would be strange if we didn't limit income.'
On top of that, he said, "The government and ruling parties have said that they will clarify what to do with the financial resources for measures against the declining birthrate after June. They say that they will come up with a rosy policy before the unified local elections in the spring and the financial resources will come later. We have to be careful," he said, indicating that he would seek an explanation from the government.
After the lecture, Mr. Azumi told reporters about reports that his eldest son, Secretary Shotaro, who accompanied Prime Minister Kishida on a tour of Europe and the United States, went sightseeing in an official car. I would like to have it, ”he said, and showed his willingness to pursue Prime Minister Kishida at the Diet deliberations at the beginning of the week.
