At the board meeting on the morning of the 6th, the ruling party proposed that they would like to vote on the proposal after questioning the opposition parties at the committee meeting on the 9th, but the opposition party insisted that it could not yet accept the vote, stating that "the increase in defense spending is related to the financial resources for reconstruction after the Great East Japan Earthquake, and local public hearings in the disaster-stricken areas are also necessary."
