The Liberal Democratic Party and Komeito have decided on a tax reform outline for fiscal 2025 that would raise the "1.03 million yen annual income barrier" to 1.23 million yen. Appearing on Fuji TV's "Sunday Report THE PRIME," Furukawa Motohisa, acting representative of the Democratic Party for the People, said of his impression when the 1.23 million yen increase was presented in the three-party talks, "I wondered if they were really serious about it, it was pointless," and indicated his intention to continue aiming for 1.78 million yen. Meanwhile, Sato Masahisa, deputy secretary-general of the LDP, emphasized, "The ruling party bears a heavy responsibility for rushing ahead without getting the consent of the Democratic Party for the People." In addition, while discussions with the Democratic Party for the People are ongoing, Deputy Secretary-General Sato has begun working-level talks with the LDP and Komeito regarding the free education initiative advocated by the Japan Restoration Party. In response to criticism that this is a "balance between the two" strategy by the ruling party, he said, "That's completely wrong. Weighing the Restoration Party against the people is the height of the ruling party's stupidity. We shouldn't do that. What is the LDP aiming for as a political party? If we can't achieve both, then it's over." Hashimoto Toru appealed for the need for opposition parties to work together to realize the policy. #HashimotoToru #SatoMasahisa #FurukawaMotohisa #AnnualIncomeWall #1.03 millionYenWall #SundayReportTHEPRIME FNNPrimeOnlinehttps://www.fnn.jp/
