自民・維新党首会談後 高市早苗総裁ぶら下がり会見(2026.07.07)

Q: This is TBS. The LDP president met with Mr. Yoshimura, the leader of the Japan Innovation Party, earlier. Given the current stalemate in the House of Representatives, what kind of discussions took place? Also, what agreement was reached between the party leaders regarding the handling of the "Seat Reduction Bill" and the "Vice-Capital Bill" requested by the Innovation Party? What is the current policy regarding the Prime Minister's attendance at the intensive deliberations requested by the opposition parties? Furthermore, if there was any agreement between the party leaders regarding extending the Diet session to ensure the passage of the two aforementioned bills and the "Imperial House Law Amendment Bill," please let us know. If no agreement has been reached at this time, please share the Prime Minister's thoughts on extending the Diet session. A: With the current Diet session nearing its end, as the president of the Liberal Democratic Party, I exchanged views on how to proceed, including the handling of remaining bills submitted by Diet members. I will refrain from commenting on the details of that discussion. Regarding the intensive deliberation, as I have stated before, the way in which parliamentary deliberations are conducted is decided by the Diet. Therefore, if I am requested to attend, I will attend and answer honestly, and this policy will not change in the future. Regarding the session length, there was no particular discussion about it. #Sanae Takaichi
