Chairman of the Board of Governors Moriyama needs to take the time to consider the punishment of the relevant members of the Liberal Democratic Party after the issue regarding the political funding party of a faction of the Liberal Democratic Party, taking into account the fact that senior members of the Abe faction have resigned from government and party positions. I have shown the idea that there is.

Regarding the punishment of the members involved in this issue, Chairman of the Board of Governors Moriyama previously stated, ``Personally, I think it would be best if things were sorted out to a certain extent by the party convention on the 17th of this month.'' .



Regarding this, Moriyama said at a press conference on the 8th, ``I thought that if the punishment could be dealt with as soon as possible, the public's understanding would deepen, but it seems that it is not possible due to time constraints, so it will be unavoidable if we cannot make it in time for the party convention.'' .



He added, ``The punishment is a very big issue, so we should take the time to carefully consider it.The leaders of Abe's faction have taken political responsibility and resigned from their positions, so the only thing left to do is let the party discipline committee decide.'' said.

In addition, Acting Secretary-General Kajiyama said at a press conference, ``We will move forward while cooperating with the party discipline committee and listening to Prime Minister Kishida.Rather than making a hasty decision, we need to follow the steps.'' He acknowledged that we should take our time and respond accordingly.
