「副首都法」成立も…国会会期末は大荒れ　総理出席の集中審議は週明け月曜に持ち越し【news23】｜TBS NEWS DIG

The Diet session effectively came to an end. Like the evening sky, it was turbulent. On the afternoon of the 24th, a focused deliberation of the Budget Committee, attended by Prime Minister Takaichi, was scheduled to be held in the House of Representatives. However, no one was there when the time came. The reason for the inability to hold the session was the handling of the "Second Capital Bill," currently under deliberation in the House of Councillors. While the ruling party aims for its passage by the 24th, the opposition criticizes it as a "bill designed specifically for Osaka." They demanded that a supplementary resolution be included as a condition for voting on the Second Capital Bill, prohibiting the simultaneous holding of the referendum on the establishment of special wards and related local elections. However, no agreement has been reached. In the afternoon, the Liberal Democratic Party (LDP) presented a proposal that partially accepted the opposition's demands, but… Constitutional Democratic Party of Japan, Yoshitaka Saito, Chairman of the Diet Affairs Committee: "The six opposition parties are united and will not accept a vote on this Vice-Capital Bill. It is not a bill that even deserves a vote." The opposition parties remained firm in their stance against a vote. After repeated negotiations, an agreement was finally reached to largely accept the opposition's demands. Then, at the House of Councillors plenary session held on the evening of the 24th, the bill was passed and enacted with a majority vote from the ruling LDP-Ishin party and Team Mirai, among others. Reporter: "It's just before 11 PM, but many lawmakers and staff have gathered in the House of Representatives. A plenary session will now be held, and procedures for closing the Diet will take place. The intensive deliberation with Prime Minister Takaichi in attendance has been postponed to Monday." A turbulent end to the Diet session. In the end, the scheduled intensive deliberation was not held and was postponed to Monday (the 27th). After the meeting adjourned, the Prime Minister made rounds to greet each party. Among the comments she received were: Prime Minister Takaichi: "Thank you so much for all your support." Jun'ya Ogawa, Representative of the Centrist Reform Alliance: "Please get plenty of sleep..." Prime Minister Takaichi: "I look forward to seeing you on Monday." Attention will be focused on how she answers questions from each party during the intensive deliberation. ▼TBS NEWS DIG Official Website: https://newsdig.tbs.co.jp/ ▼Subscribe to our channel [Easier access to the latest news]    / @tbsnewsdig   ▼NEWS DIG Latest News [Important information close at hand] https://www.google.com/preferences/so... ▼Submit information here: "TBS Insiders" https://www.tbs.co.jp/news_sp/tbs-ins... ▼Submit video here: "TBS Scoop Submission" https://www.tbs.co.jp/news_sp/toukou.... #news #TBS #newsdig
