The following is a message from Kotaro.

Today (7th), I signed a letter of confirmation with the Association for Creating a Bright Democratic Osaka Prefectural Government and announced that I will run as an independent. (Please watch the press conference on YouTube.)

I will be fighting to put an end to the Ishin politics that brings division and conflict to the people of Osaka and destroys democracy.

I will never allow a casino to be built in Osaka. I want to make Osaka a municipality where lives that can be saved are saved as a matter of course. I want to bring back an educational environment in Osaka where people want to become teachers, and I will not subject students to tests. I want to solve the Moritomo scandal that began after the Ishin prefectural government relaxed regulations. I want to solve the collusion between the Unification Church and the government, and I spoke about many things at the press conference, overflowing with my thoughts.

Let's work together to create a new Osaka!

At the press conference, I was asked to hold a debate with Governor Yoshimura.

The governor is using the taxpayers' money to build a gambling venue called a casino (at a very low land price), ignoring petition signatures from the prefecture calling for a referendum calling for a casino, and says he will create an excellent anti-gambling measure, but if the casino is not built, there is no need for any anti-gambling measures.

Taxes should be used to improve social security, including COVID-19 measures, lowering the excessively high national health insurance premiums, and providing education and childcare support, so that everyone from babies to the elderly can live in peace.

Tatsumi Tatsumi

Tatsumi will run as an independent. Tatsumi Kotaro, who has received many life consultations, is the ally of the common people.

If the national and prefectural governments cover the financial burden of free school lunches, each local government can feel at ease in making them free. Let's entrust this voice to Tatsumi Kotaro, who is more important than casinos!
