「裏金」議員に出席要求議決　参院政倫審

　参院政治倫理審査会は１７日、自民党派閥の裏金事件を巡り弁明をしていない自民議員ら２９人に対する出席要求を議決した。政倫審規程１７条に基づく。野村哲郎会長（自民）が出席を求める文書を各議員に送付。強制力はなく、実際に弁明を行うかどうかは本人の判断に委ねられる。
　参院政倫審は３月、関係議員３２人を対象にした審査開催を議決したが、政倫審に出席し弁明したのは３人にとどまっていた。与党筆頭幹事の佐藤正久氏（自民）が残る２９人に確認したところ、出席の意向を示した人はいなかったため、野党側が１７条に基づく出席要求を提案し、与党が受け入れた。（2024/05/17-13:42）

The House of Councillors' political ethics panel voted Friday to urge 29 lawmakers involved in the ruling Liberal Democratic party's "slush fund" scandal to attend a hearing on the scandal.
   The request is not binding, and it is up to each of the lawmakers to decide whether to appear before the Upper House Deliberative Council on Political Ethics.
   The 29 lawmakers had refused to comply with such a request made by the same panel in March to 32 lawmakers, including them.
   The panel made the latest decision at the request of the opposition camp, as the lawmakers in question have remained reluctant to attend a panel hearing.
