The current session of the Diet has just over a month remaining, and the government and ruling parties aim to pass related bills on pension system reform within the session.

On the other hand, the opposition parties are poised to intensify their pursuit, claiming that the governments pension system reforms and measures against rising prices are insufficient, and debates are expected to become more heated as the end of the session approaches.

The current Diet session has just over a month left until it ends on the 22nd of next month.

On the 19th, an intensive deliberation will be held at the House of Councillors Budget Committee with Prime Minister Ishiba and relevant cabinet ministers in attendance. The ruling and opposition parties will debate responses to the upcoming Japan-U.S. negotiations following the Trump administrations tariff measures, as well as countermeasures against rising prices, including rice.

Toward the end of the current Diet session, the government and ruling parties aim to pass related bills for pension system reform within the session. LDP Secretary-General Moriyama stated, We will make efforts to ensure that the bills are properly sent from the House of Representatives to the House of Councillors by the end of this month.

In response, the opposition parties are stepping up their criticism, arguing that the governments pension system reforms and measures against rising prices are insufficient.

The Constitutional Democratic Party has criticized the pension-related bills for not including measures to raise the basic pension, and plans to submit a revision proposal on the 20th. Representative Noda stated, We will seek revisions to reach a final agreement, so I want to see whether they will face this issue or not.

This week, on the 21st, a party leaders debate between Prime Minister Ishiba and opposition party leaders is scheduled, and it is expected that the debates between the ruling and opposition parties will intensify as the end of the Diet session approaches.
