At the House Budget Committee on the 25th, Prime Minister Yoshihide Suga participated in a question and answer debate with the opposition party for the first time since November 25 last year. In the last two months, the infection of the new crown has skyrocketed. The government’s response has been criticized as “behind the scenes”, and it was an opportunity for the prime minister to explain to the people in his own words and ask for understanding and cooperation, but he was haunted by his own dinner problems and defended the war. . The scenes of being forced were also conspicuous. The ruling party also said that the response style, which was described as an “iron wall” when he was chief cabinet secretary, did not reach people on a bright night, and this day also lacked power.

◆ No desperation for a face-to-face debate with the opposition
“Where did the word ‘full concentration breathing response’ go?”
Kenji Eda of the Constitutional Democratic Party is a popular manga of the Prime Minister at the special session of the Diet last November.
While avoiding the words “I don’t understand the point” and “I refrain from answering” that I have used often, the Prime Minister simply responded to Mr. Eda’s point with a few words: “I accept it in my own way.” He showed no despair in a one-on-one battle with the opposition.
◆ Even the voices of elementary school students
In the question, the opposition focused on the government’s response to the crown, including amendments to the laws related to the crown. Mr. Eda noted that the opposition party submitted a bill to amend the new Crown Special Measures Act to the special session of the Diet last year, but the government and ruling party closed the session without responding to the request. deliberation.
Akiko Okamoto, a constitutional democrat, presented the thoughts of a sixth grader regarding the prime minister’s dinner issue. “There are no more memory-making events in Corona, and I have to shut up when I eat lunch. Why can adults enjoy eating rice even though I’m trying to bear it?” And he texted Prime. Minister, I asked.
The prime minister argued against Eda’s persecution that he had been taking action for a day since he took office on September 16, but did not mention the response for the past two months. Regarding the dinner problem, he said: “I am so sorry. I want to do the best I can to be able to regain my daily life with ease. However, there was no intonation in the words in a simple tone.
Lawmakers from the Liberal Democratic Party also said: “There is no force in the Prime Minister’s response.”
The response to the review of the law and the mutant species was not sophisticated either. Masato Imai, a constitutional democrat, said he should have done the revision of the law a little earlier, but the prime minister explained that “there were disagreements among the experts” as of December last year. Regarding the mutants that were confirmed to be infected in Japan, Mr. Imai demanded strict border measures to prevent them from entering Japan, but the Prime Minister returned to his seat with a single word: “I will.”
In the question of the representatives of each party held in the plenary session of the upper house on the 21st, the upper house just made an unusual offer to the government for a courteous answer, saying that the prime minister’s answer is too short. Says a member of the Liberal Democratic Party of average level. “There is no punch in the Prime Minister’s response. If the punch doesn’t work, it won’t reach his ears.”
