Japanese Prime Minister Kishida Kishita expanded the defense budget and found a military way for Japan, but also caused him to face greater financial pressure.The analysis pointed out that he proposed to make up for the lack of financial deficiencies by rising taxes, which not only made it difficult to accept the public, but also may become a stumbling block for his continued governance.
Kishida was finalized at the end of last year that as of 2027, the defense budget was raised to 43 trillion yen (about S $ 430 billion).Due to the tight finances, after consulting with the party consultant, who was once the Minister of Finance, he announced that it would increase taxes in stages from 2024 to 2027 to make up for the lack of financial resources.He also said clearly that the company's tax, income tax, and tobacco tax were considered.
The recent polls released by Nikkei News showed that Kishida's tax increase plan made the public dislike.Among the supporters of the ruling party, 51%require the dissolution of the House of Representatives before increasing taxes; 79%of the party branch holders make the same requirements.Overall, 63%of people think he should hold a general election before increasing taxes.
Nikkei analysis said that the term of office of the House of Representatives was four years and the full period was October 2024.His Liberal Democratic Party ’s term of office is by September 2024. Ruyi abacus is the leader of the leader.If he conforms to public opinion, the appropriate schedule is held in October in October.
Opposition party refers to public opinion
The Constitutional Party's Democratic Party Shouquan Jiantai pointed out in Parliament's public opinion that "the tax increase before the election of the house is ignoring public opinion."
Kishida replied: "It will make appropriate judgments based on the exclusive rights of the Prime Minister. Moreover, it is feasible to hold a general election before the tax increase."
The political opponents within the Kanada Party also opposed his tax increase plan.The president of the Party Policy Research Society, who belongs to the "Abe", said in Congress, "You can't talk about tax increases immediately, you must see what other feasible options can be implemented when there is no other option." In this regard, Kishida said, "It will make flexible decisions based on the future trend of fiscal resources and economy."
Nikkei survey shows that Kishida's support rate is 39%, four percentage points higher than the last survey.This is mainly because 64%of the people agree that he has downgraded the level of coronary disease prevention.
