Lower house MP and Former Minister of Internal Affairs and Communications Kazuhiro Haraguchi of Saga Prefecture has called for the creation of the Saga Ishin no Kai, a multi-party political organization consisting of local government chief executives and legislators modeled after the Osaka group led by Osaka Metro District Gov. Toru Hashimoto. Said Haraguchi, “The central government’s doctrine of fiscal supremacy must not be permitted to place the onus of deficits on the regions.” Haraguchi is also working to form the Nihon Ishin no Kai, a body to promote regional devolution, and hopes to form ties with Gov. Hashimoto.
