Japanese political circles strongly condemned nuclear possession remarks, demanding the relevant personnel to resign immediately.

Yoshida Yoshihiko: "Those who advocate for nuclear weapons should resign immediately"

Yoshida Yoshihiko, leader of Japan's Constitutional Democratic Party, at a press conference on December 19, said regarding remarks made by officials in the Prime Minister's Office responsible for security policy that "it is really hard to believe and extremely shocking. It would be appropriate for them to resign immediately," and called for the person to take responsibility for their actions. He also emphasized, "The fact that someone with such views is working around Prime Minister Hayashibara Asano is itself problematic."

Shigeta Masahiro, chairman of the Constitutional Democratic Party's Senate Committee on National Security, held a meeting with Kiso Hitoshi, chairman of the Liberal Democratic Party's Senate Committee on National Security, in the Diet and conveyed the request "that the person should be immediately dismissed."
