[HIGHLIGHTS] Draft Vote of No Confidence in the Cabinet to assess the status of bill deliberations and make a decision on submission

The ruling party wants a motion of no confidence in the government to clarify its stance against the Kishida administration. The ruling party also wants to pass a bill to increase defense spending, but the opposition is against it.

The House of Councillors will vote on the bill on June 9, and the ruling party hopes to secure support for the bill before the end of the month. The opposition wants the bill to be approved without the need for a tax increase, which would be a violation of the constitution.
