Regarding the schedule for deliberating the new fiscal year budget bill, the ruling party proposed that it be voted on at the House of Representatives Budget Committee and the plenary session on March 1st, but the opposition parties did not agree, saying that there was insufficient time for deliberation. We have decided to continue discussions.
The House of Representatives Budget Committee will hold a subcommittee meeting on the 27th and 28th to discuss the policy issues of each ministries and agencies regarding the new fiscal year budget bill, and will then hold a central public hearing, which is the prerequisite for a vote on March 1st.
Regarding the schedule for subsequent deliberations, the ruling party requested Prime Minister Kishida and others to attend on March 1st at the board meeting on the 27th for intensive deliberation and closing questions, after which the committee and plenary session would vote. I suggested.
In response, the opposition parties refused to accept the proposal, saying there was insufficient time for deliberations, and it was decided that the ruling and opposition parties would continue to discuss the matter.
The opposition party is also requesting that former Liberal Democratic Party Abe faction chairman Shimomura, former political affairs research chairman Hagiuda, and Abe faction political affairs research chairman Hagiuda, and former Nikai faction chairman Nikai, be invited to the committee as witnesses. I asked for it.
The ruling party is hoping to have the new fiscal year budget passed by the House of Representatives this week, when it is certain that it will be enacted within the fiscal year, while the opposition parties are fighting over the voting schedule, with the opposition party continuing to demand sufficient deliberation time. follows.
