関連法案は、来年4月から2年間に限って飲食料品の消費税率を1%に引き下げ、所得に連動して現金を給付する「就業者負担軽減支援金」を導入する内容。

国民民主党や公明党は裏付けとなる財源が不明確な点や、給付制度の詳細が示されていない点を踏まえて批判を強めている。ただ、両党の支持層でも賛成が反対を上回った。

Number of foreign residents in the country reaches record high 4.28 million; decrease in new arrivals, impact of self-restraint in China

This is an increase of 3.8% from the end of the previous year, accounting for 3.5% of the total population. The number of new arrivals in the first half of 2026 was 19,706,953, down 0.1% from the same period last year.

Prime Minister Takaichi will continue to appoint Mr. Yan's successor in his own way, shouldering the heavy responsibility of appointing him again Opposition parties gain momentum

Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi appointed Arata Takebe, former Deputy Minister of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries, to replace former Minister of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries Kazuo Yan, who had been effectively dismissed in response to his remarks about ``budget cuts'' and hastened to rebuild his shaky cabinet. The selection of people shows his commitment to the ``Takaichi style,'' which is not bound by Nagatacho's logic, but the opposition parties are gaining momentum from his resignation less than a month after the cabinet reshuffle, and the prime minister's parliamentary strategy is starting to go awry. Mr. Takebe will face the House of Councilors Budget Committee meeting starting on the 16th with little time to prepare, and it cannot be ruled out that if he stalls on his answers, there is a possibility that the theory of responsibility will spread within the party.
