自民党の石破茂前首相は6日の衆院本会議を途中退席し、消費税減税関連法案の採決を棄権した。この後、石破氏は周辺に「賛成できない」と伝えた。同党の船田元、小渕優子、古川禎久各氏も退席した。政府・与党内からは処分を求める声が出ている。

消費減税法案が衆院通過 高市首相、給付対象「3割以上」

党関係者は石破氏について「総裁経験者としてあり得ない」と批判。少数与党の参院で同様の事態が起きないよう「抑止のため時間をかけずに処分すべきだ」と訴えた。政府高官も「党の判断は分からないが、処分が何もないことはないと思う」と語った。

船田氏は記者団の取材に対し「先人たちが苦労して導入し、税率を上げた歴史を振り返って、今、減税するのはどうなのか」と語った。小渕氏は消費税減税に反対し、7月に党税制調査会の非公式幹部会合(インナー)のメンバーを辞任。古川氏は減税よりも給付が望ましいと主張していた。

Consumption tax reduction bill passed by the House of Representatives; Prime Minister Takaichi says ``30% or more'' will receive benefits

The bill related to the consumption tax reduction was passed at the plenary session of the House of Representatives on the afternoon of the 6th with a majority of support from the Liberal Democratic Party, Japan Restoration Association, and others, and was sent to the House of Councilors.
