石破いしば首相しゅしょう 年金ねんきん関連かんれん法案ほうあん “必要ひつような内容ないよう盛り込もりこんでいる”理解りかい求もとめ

A focused deliberation was held at the House of Councillors Budget Committee in the National Diet.

Regarding the related bills for pension system reform, the Constitutional Democratic Party criticized them as insufficient because measures to raise the basic pension were postponed. In response, Prime Minister Ishiba said that discussions on the raising measures would continue, and asked for understanding, stating that the necessary content for pension reform is included.

In the House of Councillors Budget Committee on the morning of the 19th, Prime Minister Ishiba and relevant cabinet ministers attended an intensive deliberation.

LDPs Ms. Yoshikawa Requests “Protection of National Livelihood and Interests” Regarding U.S. Tariff Measures Ms. Yumi Yoshikawa of the Liberal Democratic Party commented on the U.S. Trump administration’s tariff measures, stating, “We must absolutely avoid any negative impact on local industries and employment.”

I want you to approach the negotiations with all the power you have, and I strongly urge you to protect the lives of the people and the national interest.

In response, Prime Minister Ishiba said, The U.S. tariff measures are unacceptable.

What’s important is how to build a win-win relationship through investment rather than tariffs, and to approach negotiations with unwavering determination.

Of course, we will definitely achieve results, but naturally the question arises: What will we do about cash flow in the meantime?

We must properly explain that we have made such preparations.

Rikken Minshutō’s Ms. Sakuyo Uchikoshi on pension reform bill: “Abandoning the employment ice age generation is absolutely unacceptable.” Ms. Sakuyo Uchikoshi of the Constitutional Democratic Party criticized the fact that measures to raise the basic pension were shelved, partly due to calls within the Liberal Democratic Party for a review of the related pension reform bill, saying, “The ones who will be disadvantaged are the employment ice age generation.”

Isnt this a pension bill that was erased for the sake of the Liberal Democratic Party?

He criticized, saying, Abandoning the ice age generation just for the sake of the election is absolutely outrageous.

In response, Prime Minister Ishiba said, I have never said that we would abandon the so-called ice age generation, and this is absolutely not just for the convenience of the Liberal Democratic Party.

There are differing opinions even within government organizations about using the Employees Pension Fund reserves, and it will take some time to reach a conclusion, but that does not mean we can postpone the entire pension reform this time.

He said, The bill also includes measures on how to increase the number of people enrolled in employees pension insurance.
