食料品の消費税減税関連法案は、11日に参院で審議入りする。与党の自民党と日本維新の会は参院で少数にとどまっており、成立のためには野党の協力が不可欠。「是々非々」路線を掲げる国民民主党や、長らく連立与党の一角を占めてきた公明党に照準を定める。ただ、両党とも衆院では反対しており、多数派工作の成否は不透明だ。

石破、小渕氏ら採決棄権 消費減税法案、処分求める声

法案は6日に衆院を通過した。与野党は、11日の参院本会議で趣旨説明と質疑を行う日程で合意。高市早苗首相も出席する。その後は、新設の特別委員会で13日から実質審議に入る見通しだ。

衆院審議では、減税の財源や、併せて導入する「就業者負担軽減支援金」の制度設計が、主な論点になった。野党側は詳細を明らかにするよう迫ったが、首相ら政府側は「財源は2027年度予算の編成過程で検討する」との答弁に終始。支援金の対象者も「現役勤労者の3割以上」との説明にとどまった。

対案として、国民民主は所得・住民税減税、公明は現金給付を主張したが、政府・与党はいずれも拒否。衆院採決では全野党が反対に回った。

ただ、国民民主の玉木雄一郎代表は6日の衆院通過を受け、記者団に「法案の中身が変われば、もう一度(賛否を)判断することはあり得る」と強調。公明の西田実仁幹事長も記者会見で「質疑を通して不明点が明らかになるか、さまざまな変更がなされるか見極める」と含みを残した。

こうした状況を踏まえ、政権幹部は「参院では言える数字が増えるかもしれない。数字が変われば、衆院で反対した党も参院で賛成してくれるかもしれない」と期待。これに対し、自民関係者は「国民民主や公明を取り込もうとしたら、どれくらいの要求を突きつけられるか分からない」と警戒感を示す。

一方、衆院では衆院議員の定数削減法案に焦点が移る。与党と国民民主は比例代表の31減で合意。9日にも法案概要を取りまとめるが、他の野党は強く反発している。

もっとも、審議の進め方を巡っては、3党間で足並みの乱れも目立つ。国民民主側は付託先となる衆院政治改革特別委員会で、企業・団体献金見直し法案の審議を優先するよう主張。定数削減法案を重視する維新側は不快感を示している。

``Clear positioning'' ``Unnecessary'' Pros and cons of specifying the Self-Defense Forces in Article 9 - Interview with people with security experience - 80th anniversary of the promulgation of the Constitution

Celebrating 80 years since the promulgation of the Japanese Constitution, a proposed amendment to explicitly enshrine the Self-Defense Forces in the Constitution is becoming more realistic. Former Joint Chiefs of Staff Koji Yamazaki calls for a constitutional amendment to clarify the position of the Self-Defense Forces and improve morale, while Kyoji Yanagisawa, a former deputy chief cabinet secretary, denies the need for the amendment to be clearly stated, saying it is an "issue that has already been settled." The ruling party will intensify discussions on constitutional revision with the aim of next spring, but there is strong resistance from cautious groups, and the 2028 Upper House election may become a turning point.

NZ general election: ruling party has a slim majority lead, expected to be finalized late this month

Votes were counted in New Zealand's general election on the 7th, and the three ruling coalition parties led by Prime Minister Lacson's center-right National Party are in the lead, but it is uncertain whether they will win a majority. It is a close race with opposition parties including the center-left Labor Party, and the results are expected to be finalized by the end of this month. The emerging centrist Opportunity Party has secured its first parliamentary seat and may hold the casting boat for coalition negotiations.
