Regarding the statement by the Democratic Party for the People's Representative Tamaki that the Communist Party is a totalitarian party, Secretary General Koike of the Communist Party said, "Our party is a party that values democracy and freedom above all, and is in fact unrooted." He stated and asked Mr. Tamaki to withdraw his remarks.
When the Democratic Party for the People's Representative Tamaki signed a policy agreement with the Confederation on the 15th of this month, he said, "Overall," over the phrase "eliminate totalitarianism on the left and right and promote sound democracy." The principle is the Communist Party. "
Regarding this, the Communist Party secretary general Koike said at a press conference on the 19th, "Our party has been fighting militarism and fascism since before the war, and is a party that values democracy and freedom above all. It is the opposite of holisticism. In fact, it's unrooted, "he said, asking Mr. Tamaki to withdraw his remarks.
On the other hand, the Constitutional Democratic Party's representative, Edano, has expressed the recognition that the wording of "totalitarianism" did not specify a specific political party when a policy agreement with the same content was individually signed with the coalition.
