The supplementary budget bill, which was the main focus of the extraordinary Diet session and which will underpin the government's economic measures, passed the House of Representatives on December 21st. The ruling coalition of the Liberal Democratic Party and Komeito did not have a majority of seats in the House of Representatives, meaning that the supplementary budget bill could not be passed with the support of the ruling coalition alone. In this situation, the three opposition parties, the Constitutional Democratic Party, the Japan Restoration Party, and the Democratic Party for the People, took a strong stance... they confronted the ruling party with their own motives and won results. The Democratic Party for the People had been at odds with the LDP and Komeito over the so-called "1.03 million yen wall," which states that income tax is levied on annual incomes over 1.03 million yen, but the ruling party agreed to aim to raise the tax rate to "1.78 million yen" in line with the Democratic Party for the People's request. They also agreed to abolish the provisional tax rate on gasoline. Why did the three parties, who had been at odds over a significant drop in tax revenue, suddenly come to an agreement? What happened behind the scenes of the secret meeting and psychological battle that was unknown...? And on the day of the supplementary budget bill's vote, the Ishin Party decided to vote in favor, while the Constitutional Democratic Party achieved the first budget revision in 28 years. What was happening behind the scenes of the supplementary budget bill's deliberations? Horiguchi Kanamu, a reporter covering the opposition parties, explains the behind-the-scenes battle between the ruling and opposition parties. #Extraordinary Diet #Economic measures #Supplementary budget bill #Supplementary budget #Supplementary budget bill passed by the House of Representatives #LDP #Komeito #Japan Restoration Party #Democratic Party for the People #LDP-Komeito agreement #3-party agreement #Shiba Kazuya #Furukawa Motohisa #Tamaki Yuichiro #Noda Yoshihiko #Maehara Seiji #Ozawa Ichiro #1.03 million yen wall #1.78 million yen #Abolition of the provisional gasoline tax rate #Budget deliberations #Secret meeting #Noto reconstruction #Free education #TV Tokyo political report #Horiguchi Kanamu #Horiguchi Kanamu's Opposition Party Communication WBS, Mosate, Gaia's Dawn, Cambria Palace, and more are all available to watch!
