The House of Councilors Political Ethics Committee will be held on the 8th, ruling and opposition parties over Liberal Democratic faction political funding issue

On the 8th, the ruling and opposition parties officially decided to hold a meeting of the House of Councilors Political Ethics Review Committee, where relevant members will give explanations regarding the issue surrounding the political funding party of a faction of the Liberal Democratic Party.

We are making arrangements to hold a screening committee next week, and plan to begin full-fledged discussions on how the film should be made public.

In response to this issue, four opposition parties, including the Constitutional Democratic Party of Japan, will hold a political ethics review committee in the House of Councilors, requesting the attendance of 32 members, including 31 members of the Liberal Democratic Party and members who left the LDP after being indicted at home. I am requesting that.

In response to this, the review committee held a secretariat meeting on the 6th, and officially decided to hold the review meeting on the 8th.

We also agreed that once we decided to hold the event, we would check with all 32 people to see if they were willing to attend.

Regarding the review committee, former House of Councilors Secretary-General Seko, who is pro-Abe, has announced his intention to attend if it is held.

The ruling and opposition parties are making arrangements to hold a screening committee as early as next week, and plan to begin full-fledged discussions on matters such as how the information should be made public.

Masahisa Sato, a member of the House of Councilors of the Liberal Democratic Party who serves as the ruling party's lead secretary, told reporters inside the Diet, ``The Liberal Democratic Party takes the allegations very seriously, as 31 members have been asked to attend. It will be up to each member to decide whether or not they will defend themselves at the committee."

Saori Yoshikawa, a member of the House of Councilors of the Constitutional Democratic Party of Japan, who is the secretary of the opposition party, told reporters, ``We must have them fulfill their accountability at the committee that clarifies political responsibility.'' I am heartbroken that I am forced to do something like this."
