高市早苗首相による5日の所信表明演説に対し、野党からは首相が目指す消費税減税の財源が不明確だとの批判が相次いだ。国民民主党の玉木雄一郎代表は記者団に「国民や国内外のマーケットに向けて丁寧な説明を求めていく」と訴えた。

玉木氏は「経済成長や投資をしっかりやるという方向性は一致する」と評価しつつ、減税の財源について「具体性が乏しい」と指摘した。

公明党の岡本三成代表も、首相が財源について「心配には及ばない」と述べたことを取り上げ、「心配に及ばないと言われると心配になる。根拠を示していない」と不満を表明した。立憲民主党の水岡俊一代表は記者会見で「説明する気が全くないどころか『国民に黙って従え』とばかにしている」と非難した。

参政党の神谷宗幣代表は記者団に「減税のマイナス面に対する手当てが感じ取れない」と表明。民主改革の会の小川淳也代表は「インフレ下での減税政策にどれほどの効果があるのか議論する必要がある」と述べた。

チームみらいの安野貴博党首は「物価高対策として効果的な施策なのか」と疑問を呈した。共産党の田村智子委員長は会見で「財源を示さない税制改革提案はあり得ない」と非難した。
