自民、予算案２８日採決提案　立民は拒否

　自民党の石井準一参院国対委員長は２６日、立憲民主党の斎藤嘉隆参院国対委員長と国会内で会談し、２０２５年度予算案について２８日に参院予算委員会で採決するよう提案した。同日中に参院本会議へ緊急上程することも求めたが、斎藤氏は「審議時間が足りていない」としていずれも拒否した。
　斎藤氏は、石破茂首相が公明党の斉藤鉄夫代表に「強力な物価高対策」策定の意向を伝えたことに言及。参院で２５年度予算案を審議中に補正予算案の編成につながることを口にするのは不適切だとして「参院をばかにしないでほしい」と批判した。首相の説明も要求した。（2025/03/26-13:15）

Japan's ruling Liberal Democratic Party on Wednesday proposed that the House of Councillors Budget Committee puts a fiscal 2025 government budget bill to a vote on Friday.
   Junichi Ishii, the LDP's Diet affairs chief in the upper chamber of Japan's parliament, also suggested placing the bill before the Upper House plenary session later the same day.
   His counterpart from the main opposition Constitutional Democratic Party of Japan, Yoshitaka Saito, however, rejected both proposals during a meeting of the two men, citing insufficient deliberations on the bill.
   Also during their talks, the CDP's Saito brought up Japanese Prime Minister Shigeru Ishiba voicing plans to compile "powerful" measures to tackle the rising cost of living in a meeting on Tuesday with Tetsuo Saito, head of the LDP's coalition partner, Komeito.
   The CDP official criticized the move by Ishiba, saying that it was inappropriate for the LDP president to say something that may suggest compiling a supplementary budget at a time when Upper House deliberations are underway for the main budget bill.
