The public interest incorporated foundation “Japan Productivity Center” held its New Year’s press conference on the 15th at a hotel in Tokyo. Chairman Yuzaburo Mogi (honorary chairman of Kikkoman) and others touched on the Liberal Democratic Party faction’s political party slush fund scandal and expressed their desire to lobby the political world for political reform.
◆ Statement at “Reiwa Rincho” where he serves as co-representative
Mr. Mogi, along with three vice presidents, Takeshi Sasaki (former president of the University of Tokyo), Hiroya Masuda (president of Japan Post Holdings), and Yoshimitsu Kobayashi (chairman of Tokyo Electric Power Company Holdings), is a member of the Reiwa National Council, a policy advocacy organization whose secretariat is the same headquarters. Serves as co-representative of the Reiwa Conference. On the 11th, Rincho released a joint representative statement calling for party reform.
Mr. Motegi cited problems related to frequent disasters, conflicts, and climate change both domestically and internationally, and said, “In order to dispel the people’s concerns regarding the future and pass on a sustainable economic society to the next generation, we must play a central role.” “Parties and politicians in this position are required to have the responsibility to realize politics that is trusted by the people and the ability to self-reform.”
Sasaki pointed out, “It is inevitable that we will discuss the issue of political party governance with the public.” He expressed the idea that in addition to amending the Political Funds Control Act, consideration should also be given to enacting a “Political Party Act” that would clarify the nature of political parties.
