In this, Aisaka, a former assistant to the Prime Minister, said, "The party platform states that gender equality will be established so that people of all genders can fully demonstrate their individuality and abilities, but it is not easy to achieve.

Ogawa, Vice-Chairman of the National Assembly, said, "In the Showa era, it was emphasized that most of life was self-responsibility. Although the premise changed, the society did not change. I want to create a sustainable society. Gender equality is necessary for the realization of that society. "



Izumi, the chairman of the Political Survey, said, "In the new executive department of the party I will create, half of the executive officers will be female. That will change the content and perspective of the discussion. We will raise the ratio of female candidates for the next Upper House election as much as possible. We will also create an election campaign organization that reflects the voices of women. "



Nishimura, former Deputy Minister of Health, Labor and Welfare, said, "I want to increase the number of female colleagues. The hurdles for candidates for parliamentarians are high, but if you are from the local council, the hurdles for challenging national affairs may be low, so first of all, the local council I want to increase the number of friends. Women can think and understand politics with a sense of life. "

On the 21st of the first day, in Sapporo, in addition to street speeches, measures against the new coronavirus and measures to revitalize local areas will be held.
