高市早苗首相は14日の衆院予算委員会で、食料品の消費減税に合わせて来年度からの導入をめざす所得連動給付(就業者負担軽減支援金)の対象者数について、「2千万人」という数字に言及した。海外の類似制度のデータを日本に当てはめたもので、「あくまで参考」とも述べた。国民民主党の田中健氏の質問に答えた。
新たな支援金は、税・社会保険料の負担が重い「働く中低所得者」に所得に応じて現金を給付する制度。食料品の消費減税を実施する2027年度と28年度は年6千億円規模(食料品の消費税率1%分)で実施し、減税が終わる29年度に規模を拡大して本格導入する計画だ。政府は今国会に関連法案を提出しているが、「誰にいくら給付するか」を示していない。野党側は示すことが「法案審議の前提条件」と批判している。
首相は、米英仏の類似制度では「(就業者のうち)3割程度が支給対象と推計」されるとしたうえで、「我が国の現役就業者が約6千万人。その3割程度は2千万人程度と計算される」と説明した。

On the 15th, Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi decided to appoint former Deputy Minister of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries Arata Takebe (56) of the Liberal Democratic Party as Minister of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries to replace Kazuo Yan, who resigned, and announced this in a meeting at the prime minister's office. The government plans to hold a ministerial certification ceremony at the Imperial Palace from 5:30 p.m. on the same day to rebuild the cabinet structure. Opposition parties have announced that they will seek to hold him accountable for his appointment.

Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi effectively dismissed Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries Minister Kazuo Yan, who had just been appointed in a cabinet reshuffle, on suspicion of violating the Public Offices Election Act. Mr. Yan was faced with a resolution to censure him from the opposition party for his comments about budget cuts and his involvement in the slush fund scandal, and dissatisfaction with the delay in making decisions within the ruling party grew. A blow to the government is seen as inevitable.

The opposition parties have agreed to submit a resolution to censure Minister of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries Yan Yan over his alleged violation of the Public Elections Act, and Prime Minister Takaichi has stated his responsibility for appointing him. Meanwhile, Russia detains a Hokkaido Shimbun reporter on suspicion of espionage, and the Japanese government protests and demands confirmation of the facts. The attack on Saudi Aramco's headquarters and the Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries' rice grain forecast were also reported.

In response to the resignation of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries Minister Kazuo Yan, who was reported to have violated the Public Elections Act due to problems surrounding the House of Representatives election, opposition parties on the 14th collectively sought to hold Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi responsible for appointing Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi, who had been allowed to continue in the post. He indicates that he will continue to pursue the matter in the Diet.

On the night of the 14th, Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi accepted the resignation of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries Minister Kazuo Yan, who was accused of violating the Public Offices Election Act. This is a de facto reshuffle, and the first cabinet change due to scandal since the inauguration of the government. The opposition parties are poised to pursue responsibility for the appointment.

Following the resignation of Minister of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries Kazuo Yan, there has been criticism from experts who say, ``Just resigning is not enough.'' Some are questioning Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi's responsibility for appointing Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi, who did not urge her to resign, taking issue with comments such as budget cuts made by local governments supporting rival candidates.
