Honeymoon over for Hashimoto's new party
OSAKA — A war of words among the top leaders of Nippon Ishin no Kai (Japan Restoration Party) over policy differences and who calls the shots has seen Japan's newest national political party get off to a rocky start.
Tensions between Osaka Mayor Toru Hashimoto, who heads the fledgling party, and some Diet lawmakers who joined it had been building since a public discussion Sept. 23 exposed clear rifts between the two sides over nuclear power, the Trans-Pacific Partnership and how to resolve the territorial disputes with China and South Korea, among other issues.
