Regarding this issue, the ruling and opposition parties are planning to hold a House of Representatives Committee on Political Ethics on the 28th and 29th to discuss issues such as the nature of disclosure, in response to an offer from five former secretaries general of the Liberal Democratic Party's Abe faction and Nikai faction. I continued.
The chief secretaries of the ruling and opposition parties on the panel held intermittent discussions on the 27th, but the meeting ended in failure due to lack of coordination within the Liberal Democratic Party, and the meeting on the 28th was postponed.
Izumi, the representative of the Constitutional Democratic Party, said, ``The LDP's backwards attitude is just astounding. There can't be a committee where we don't know who is saying what.''
The opposition party plans to continue to request that the entire review board be filmed and broadcast, arguing that it cannot be said that accountability has been fulfilled without full disclosure.
In response, Prime Minister Kishida stated, ``It is important to fulfill accountability, and the party has been urging the party to fulfill that responsibility. I am instructing those involved in the Liberal Democratic Party to take the best possible approach.''
The Liberal Democratic Party is hoping to hold a review meeting as soon as possible after the 29th, and hastened to make adjustments, including confirming the intentions of the five members, in order to reach an agreement with the opposition party, and their response will be the focus.
On the other hand, regarding the new fiscal year's budget bill, the government and ruling parties are hoping to have it passed by the House of Representatives this week, as it includes expenses for responding to the Noto Peninsula earthquake, etc., saying that it is imperative that the bill be enacted within the fiscal year.
In response, the opposition parties are demanding that sufficient deliberation time be secured, and are poised to further intensify their offensive depending on the status of the review committee, and the battle between the ruling and opposition parties is expected to continue.
