政倫審、２８日の開催見送り　公開巡り自民混乱―予算審議影響も

　自民、立憲民主両党は２７日、自民派閥の政治資金パーティー裏金事件を受けた衆院政治倫理審査会の開催に向け、協議を続けた。しかし、最大の焦点である公開の在り方に関して折り合いがつかない段階で自民側の混乱が重なり、２８日に予定していた審査会の開催は見送られることになった。
　両党は２８、２９両日の開催で合意していたが、一転して覆る異例の事態となった。２８日に改めて２９日以降の運びを協議するが、一致点を見いだせるかは不透明。これを受け、与党が目指す３月２日までの２０２４年度予算案の衆院通過を危ぶむ声も出てきた。（2024/02/27-20:25）

A Japanese parliamentary panel on political ethics will not convene on Wednesday for a meeting on a high-profile money scandal involving factions of the ruling Liberal Democratic Party.
   On Tuesday, the LDP and the main opposition Constitutional Democratic Party of Japan continued talks on the planned meeting of the Deliberative Council on Political Ethics of the House of Representatives, the lower chamber of the country's parliament.
   But the two parties remained apart over how much of the meeting should be open to the public. In addition, disagreements arose within the LDP.
   As a result, the two sides had to take the unusual step of scrapping their agreement reached last week to hold the ethics council meeting for two days from Wednesday.
   The two parties will hold talks again Wednesday so that the meeting will open Thursday. But it is uncertain whether they will reach an agreement.
