参院自民の人事で石井準一幹事長の処遇が焦点に、首相との確執が背景か

Quick Look

内閣改造・自民党役員人事に合わせ参院自民の人事が近く実施される見通し。石井準一参院幹事長の処遇が焦点となっており、高市早苗首相との確執が背景にあるとされる。ただし、参院人事は首相の権限が及ばない「聖域」とされ、松山政司参院議員会長が実質的な人事権を握っている。石井氏は国会運営に精通し「石井カレンダー」と呼ばれる国会日程を作成してきたが、特別国会での予算審議を巡り首相と溝が生じたと伝えられている。石井氏は自身の進退について「もう、どちらでもいいと思っている。外された場合は無役だ」と述べたと関係者に明かした。

内閣改造・自民党役員人事に合わせ、近く実施される参院自民の人事で、石井準一参院幹事長の処遇が焦点となっている。高市早苗首相(党総裁)との確執が取り沙汰されているためだ。ただ、参院人事は首相の権限が及ばない「聖域」とされる。対応次第では、政権運営の火種となる可能性もはらむ。

官房長官、岸田氏に謝罪 人事アンケート提出を暴露

「遅くとも10月5日の週には臨時国会を始めないといけない」。石井氏は9月上旬、政権幹部の一人にこう伝えた。

石井氏は国会運営に精通。与野党に幅広い人脈を持ち、水面下の調整役を担ってきた。その時々の情勢を踏まえて作成する国会日程は「石井カレンダー」と呼ばれる。

しかし、先の特別国会では2026年度予算の審議を巡り、首相との間に溝が生まれた。首相は3月末までの成立を指示。これを受け、衆院側は審議を大幅に短縮して通過させたが、過半数を持たない参院側は野党との調整を重視し、成立が年度をまたいで4月にずれ込んだ。

この結果に首相は不満を募らせ、矛先が石井氏に向かっているという。首相周辺は「石井氏が野党と一緒になって首相に嫌がらせをしている」と批判。石井氏が40人以上の議員グループを結成したことに対しても、首相は警戒感を隠さない。

もっとも、参院自民の実質的な人事権は参院議員会長が握る。歴代政権も表立って口を挟むことはなかった。

党内では、松山政司参院議員会長が首相の「意向」をくみ、石井氏を交代させるかどうかに注目が集まっている。特別国会では、首相官邸との窓口となった松山氏が国会運営に関し、石井氏と対立する場面もあった。

党中堅は「松山氏も首相に求められたら代えるのではないか」との見方を示す。一方、党内には「石井氏ほど国対を知っている人間はいない」(重鎮)と評価する声も根強い。

石井氏は強気の構えだ。最近、関係者に自身の進退を問われ、こう応じた。「もう、どちらでもいいと思っている。外された場合は無役だ」。

Centrist Reform Coalition decides to disband, leaving only one member remaining due to receipt of approximately 1.1 billion yen in political party subsidies, sparking criticism

Although the Centrist Reform Alliance decided to disband the party, it has indicated that it will continue to exist for the time being, leaving one lawmaker in place in order to receive approximately 1.1 billion yen in party subsidies. Representative Junya Ogawa explains that the purpose of the move is to pay for the House of Representatives election, but there are voices on social media pointing out the contradiction with the Liberal Democratic Party's criticism of slush funds, making it unclear whether they will gain understanding amid soaring prices. The Constitutional Democratic Party-affiliated party was to form a new party, and the Komeito-affiliated party was to rejoin the party, but because they are considered a "split faction" under the Political Party Subsidy Act and cannot receive unfunded funds, they have decided to postpone ``splitting (splitting),'' which would take a long time to complete.

Vice President Vance vows victory in midterm elections at Republican convention; Secretary Rubio's absence is conspicuous

Vice President Vance delivered the keynote speech at the Republican National Convention in Dallas, Texas, pledging victory in the November midterm elections. Vance, who is considered a leading candidate for the 2028 presidential election, has an opportunity to raise his profile within the party, but there is also the risk that he will be held accountable depending on the election results. In his speech, he talked about his experiences growing up in a poor family and expressed his frustration at being called a racist. On the other hand, Secretary of State Rubio, who is expected by traditional conservatives, did not participate due to overseas travel, and his absence was conspicuous. Participants were asked both about their support for Mr. Vance and their liking for Mr. Rubio.
