Admin’s Note

The questioning in this session of the National Diet is a significant moment that demonstrates how government policies are evolving. The opposition’s aggressive stance can be seen as an effort to reflect the voices of the people. Prime Minister Takaichi’s suggestion of a policy shift indicates the government’s flexibility, but it also highlights the internal conflicts within the party. The political landscape is always changing, and we must keep a close eye on these developments.
