国会３カ月延長要求へ　野党、内閣不信任の構え

　立憲民主、共産、国民民主、社民の野党４党首は１０日、国会内で会談し、１６日に会期末を迎える今国会会期を３カ月延長するよう求める方針で一致した。与党が拒否した場合、内閣不信任決議案の提出も視野に「新たな対抗措置」に踏み切る。与党の出方を見極めつつ、週明けにも提出することを検討する。
　会談には立憲の枝野幸男代表、共産の志位和夫委員長、国民の玉木雄一郎代表、社民の福島瑞穂党首が出席した。９日の党首討論で野党が要求した東京五輪・パラリンピック開催の意義や安全性、新型コロナウイルス対策を柱とする２０２１年度補正予算編成、補正予算案処理のための会期延長に、菅義偉首相が「ゼロ回答」だったと批判。菅政権のコロナ対応や、五輪開催を強行しようとする姿勢は容認できないとの認識で一致した。（2021/06/10-18:42）

The leaders of the Constitutional Democratic Party of Japan and three other opposition parties agreed at their meeting on Thursday to request a three-month extension of the ongoing ordinary session of the Diet, the country's parliament, which is currently scheduled to end on Wednesday.
   If the request is rejected, the opposition parties are poised to submit a no-confidence motion against the cabinet of Prime Minister Yoshihide Suga.
   The meeting was attended by the CDP's Yukio Edano, the Japanese Communist Party's Kazuo Shii, the Democratic Party for the People's Yuichiro Tamaki and the Social Democratic Party's Mizuho Fukushima.
   The extension request will be formally submitted by CDP Diet affairs chief Jun Azumi at his meeting with Hiroshi Moriyama, his counterpart from the ruling Liberal Democratic Party, on Friday.
   The opposition parties will demand a response to the request by Monday, when the prime minister returns home after attending a Group of Seven summit in Britain.
