Regarding the plan for the ruling party to review additional support for small business owners before April, he said, “I do not object to it,” but argued that it was “this time it was related to the election, as it was in the general election last year.”
Regarding the prospect of the successful reception of the meeting, he criticized, “I don’t think such a situation will come,” and “The President is far away from the issue and plays a role as a bystander. I don’t seem to be the one who actively tries to solve the problem.” did.
