参政・神谷代表「経済効果があるかわからないところに白紙委任できない」　副首都法案の再検討求める（2026年7月23日）

On the 23rd, during questioning in the House of Councillors regarding the "Second Capital Bill," Sohei Kamiya criticized the government for proceeding with deliberations without presenting an analysis of its economic effects, arguing that "the government should consult thoroughly again and submit it as a cabinet bill." Mr. Kamiya asked which approach—consolidating capital functions in existing major cities or developing new regional cities—would lead to regional revitalization and economic benefits. Minister in charge, Hitoshi Kikawada, responded by saying, "Such an analysis has not been conducted." In response, Mr. Kamiya pointed out, "If you say there are no figures, then neither the minister nor the minister in charge knows." He added, "Even if you ask us to make a judgment, we have no criteria for judgment," questioning the deliberation of the bill without an objective analysis. Furthermore, he stated, "We can't give a blank check to something where we don't know whether there will be economic effects," indicating his belief that the bill should be submitted to the Diet again as a government-submitted bill after sufficient consultation and analysis with the government.
