野党「桜見る会」で情報開示要求　自民、ＩＲ整備を推進

　与野党幹部は２６日のＮＨＫ番組で、首相主催「桜を見る会」問題やカジノを含む統合型リゾート（ＩＲ）に絡む汚職事件について議論した。立憲民主党の福山哲郎幹事長は「政策論議にふたをしている全責任は安倍晋三首相と与党にある。情報開示が全ての議論のスタートだ」と述べ、政府に説明責任を果たすよう要求。ＩＲ整備に関しては、福山氏らが白紙化を迫ったのに対し、自民党の稲田朋美幹事長代行は推進する考えを強調した。
　桜を見る会について、福山氏は招待者名簿の電子データ消去時の端末記録や、東京都内のホテルで開かれた「前夜祭」の明細書を公開すべきだと主張。国民民主党の平野博文幹事長も「公文書を隠蔽（いんぺい）か改ざんしている」と非難した。
　稲田氏は情報開示に応じるかには言及せず、「公文書管理の見直しが必要だ」と述べるにとどめた。（2020/01/26-12:26）

Officials of Japanese opposition parties on Sunday urged the government of Prime Minister Shinzo Abe to disclose information related to a state-funded cherry blossom-viewing party at the center of cronyism allegations involving the administration.
   "Prime Minister Abe and the ruling bloc are totally to blame for preventing policy discussions," Tetsuro Fukuyama, secretary-general of the biggest opposition Constitutional Democratic Party of Japan, said in a television program. "Disclosing information is a starting point for discussions," he added.
   Fukuyama said the government should disclose records of a computer at the time of the erasure of electronic data on the list of guests invited to the prime minister-hosted cherry party and a receipt for a dinner held at a Tokyo hotel on the eve of the party.
   Hirofumi Hirano, secretary-general of the Democratic Party for the People, criticized the government for "covering up or tampering with public records" related to the cherry blossom party.
   Tomomi Inada, executive acting secretary-general of the ruling Liberal Democratic Party, refrained from mentioning whether to accept the opposition requests for information disclosure, saying only, "It is necessary to review the way of managing public records."
