Regarding the upper house election in the summer, the coalition stated that it would "face with a candidate-oriented approach" without explicitly stating support for the Constitutional Democratic Party and the Democratic Party for the People, and "candidates to cooperate with political parties with significantly different purposes and basic policies" with the Communist Party in mind. We do not recommend anyone. "
Chairman Yoshino announced the basic policy of the Upper House election on the 17th at a press conference.
In the basic policy, regarding the relationship with the Constitutional Democratic Party and the Democratic Party for the People, there is no description of "supporting" in the basic policy of the House of Representatives election last year, and "We will continue to cooperate with each other toward the realization of the policy of the Union. This time, we will focus on the candidates, while keeping the basics. "
On top of that, while avoiding specifying the party name, he says, "We do not recommend candidates who work with political parties that have significantly different purposes and basic policies."
Regarding this statement, Chairman Yoshino said, "The Communist Party has in mind. Regarding other political parties, including the Nippon Ishin no Kai, the circumstances differ depending on the region, so it will be decided in each region. I want to make it. "
