Chief Cabinet Secretary comments on “violence is unforgivable in elections” 1 year after Prime Minister Kishida's attack

Chief Cabinet Secretary Hayashi Yoshimasa expressed his opinion at a press conference on the morning of the 15th that “acts of violence are absolutely unforgivable in elections that form the foundation of democracy” in response to the fact that explosives were thrown close to Prime Minister Fumio Kishida, who is supporting the election in Wakayama City on the same day.
