Civic Party and Komeito Party publicly break up! Komeito Party President Hashimoto Tetsuo announced the suspension of the "Liberal Democratic-Komeito coalition government"!
Komeito Party President Hashimoto Tetsuo stated at a press conference: "The combination of politics and money is the first concern of Komeito. The Liberal Democratic-Komeito coalition government will temporarily be a blank page, and the relationship so far will come to an end."
"In the national election, the election cooperation between parties will be temporarily blank. We will not require the Liberal Democratic Party to recommend our party's candidates in the single non-transferable vote districts, nor will we recommend the Liberal Democratic Party's candidates. However, many regions will still provide support centered on individuals and policies."
"Komeito requires the Liberal Democratic Party to strengthen restrictions, limiting the recipients of donations from business groups to the party headquarters and prefectural branches. However, this time, the Liberal Democratic Party's response was 'basically starting discussions now,' which is insufficient and very regrettable."
"After the national election, new issues have also arisen, such as the brief prosecution of secretaries related to no record of problems, and although people hope for a more complete understanding of the facts and boundaries, the attitude of the Liberal Democratic Party, which has already resolved and is focusing on the operation of the state, is far from the feelings of the people. In such a case, trust in politics will not be restored."
"Regarding our demands, I have said that if the Liberal Democratic Party does not give us clear and specific answers, reform cannot be realized. Therefore, it is impossible to write the name of Takahashi Hayato in the prime ministerial nomination election, regardless of anything."
"Finally, I expressed my sincere gratitude to President Takahashi and Secretary-General Suzuki for the previous Liberal Democratic-Komeito relationship, shook hands with them, and said, 'We encourage each other,' and then ended the relationship."
"A major purpose of the coalition government is political stability. For this, it is necessary to restore trust in politics. Only on this basis can political stability and policy implementation be achieved."
