Toru Hashimoto (55), a lawyer and former governor of Osaka Prefecture and mayor of Osaka, appeared on MBS TV’s “Yonchan TV” on the 28th. He spoke about his views on his former organization and the Meiji Restoration election in the House of Representatives, which was counted the day before.

Although the Nippon Ishin no Kai won all 19 single-seat constituencies in its home base of Osaka, it did not fare well nationwide, reducing its seats from 43 to 38 before the announcement.

Mr. Hashimoto said, “First of all, I think voters in Osaka are confusing Osaka Renewal with National Renewal. Of course, there are pros and cons.

“When you come out of Osaka, you start to wonder why the Ishin movement is because the Diet members from the Meiji Restoration group are not doing anything,” he said, analyzing the neutrality of the group throughout the country. “So, if you look at the whole country, the Meiji Reform is losing itself!
　
He was also harsh about Nobuyuki Baba, the representative of Nippon Ishin. “From my point of view, he is the oldest type of politician in the Meiji Restoration. “” Mr. Baba said (in speeches in various places), “Reform Osaka all over the country! “Well, Mr. Baba never reformed Osaka. To put it quickly, that ‘case,” he complained.

“What I’m trying to say is that Baba-san has to change. ” “Furthermore, Mr. Baba and other key members do not provide receipts for the expenses of policy activities. I told them to publish it. “Citizens and residents of the prefecture are not responding to reforms,” ​​he said.

“Basically, I think that the current National Reformation has gone down because people who do not understand reformation are doing it in the old style…We have to make them think about this very much and that will change,” he said. “From now on, Ishin will be in an important position that controls the casting boat, so Mr. Baba wants to continue as the producer. But, is that the right thing to do? A voice is rising within the Meiji Restoration. I don’t think the National Restoration will last unless we break away from the old group of members Diet,” he said in a stern tone to the end.
