Fukuoka Mayor Soichiro Takashima has revealed that he directly called Sanseito party leader Sohei Kamiya to dispute remarks made during a July campaign speech in which Kamiya criticized the city’s designation as a “financial and asset management special zone.” Takashima explained that the policy supports domestic startups via investment incentives and does not give preferential treatment to foreigners. While no correction was demanded, the mayor emphasized the need for accurate public understanding during elections. Source: KBC
