立民、内閣不信任案提出　都知事選・衆院選へ対決姿勢

　岸田文雄首相の政治改革に対する姿勢が後ろ向きだとして、立憲民主党は２０日午前、内閣不信任決議案を衆院に提出した。東京都知事選の告示に合わせ、次期衆院選も見据えて政権との対決姿勢を示すのが狙い。日本維新の会は両院議員総会で賛成を決定。共産党と国民民主党も賛成する方向だ。決議案は同日午後の衆院本会議で、与党などの反対多数で否決される見通し。
　提出後、立民の安住淳国対委員長は記者団に、自民党の派閥裏金事件が「国民の大変な政治不信を招いた」と非難。その上で「（首相は）リーダーシップを発揮して真相解明すべきだったが努力せず、再発防止の改正政治資金規正法も抜け穴だらけの不十分なものとなった」と断じた。（2024/06/20-11:51）

The main opposition Constitutional Democratic Party of Japan submitted a no-confidence motion against the cabinet of Prime Minister Fumio Kishida to the House of Representatives on Thursday morning.
   The motion is apparently aimed at demonstrating the CDP's confrontational stance against the Kishida administration, with an eye toward the next Lower House election.
   The motion is expected to be supported by other opposition parties, including Nippon Ishin no Kai (Japan Innovation Party), the Japanese Communist Party and the Democratic Party for the People, but is likely to be voted down at a Lower House plenary meeting in the afternoon.
   Speaking to reporters after submitting the motion, CDP parliamentary affairs chief Jun Azumi condemned the ruling Liberal Democratic Party for causing great public distrust in politics through its "slush fund" scandal.
   Kishida, also president of the LDP, "should have taken the initiative to uncover the truth (behind the scandal), but he made no effort," Azumi argued, adding that the LDP's bill enacted Wednesday to revise the political funds control law in the wake of the scandal was "inadequate with many loopholes."
