菅直人氏、維新は「ヒトラー想起」　指摘に足立氏反発

　立憲民主党の菅直人元首相が日本維新の会について、「（ナチス・ドイツの）ヒトラーを思い起こす」などと自身のツイッターに投稿していたことが２５日分かった。同党の足立康史衆院議員は同日の衆院予算委員会で「ドイツや国際社会だったらアウトだ。許せない」と抗議。近く党として立民に正式に抗議文を出すことも明らかにした。
　菅氏の投稿は２１日。かつて維新を率いた橋下徹氏らを引き合いに「弁舌の巧みさでは第１次大戦後の混乱するドイツで政権を取った当時のヒトラーを思い起こす」と記した。
　立民の逢坂誠二代表代行は２５日の記者会見で「個人的にはヒトラーを例に挙げてさまざまなことを言うのは、あまり好まないやり方だ」と述べた。（2022/01/25-18:50）

Former Japanese Prime Minister Naoto Kan has come under fire for saying on Twitter that Nippon Ishin no Kai (Japan Innovation Party) reminds him of Germany's wartime dictator Adolf Hitler.
   Referring to former Nippon Ishin leader Toru Hashimoto and others, Kan, who belongs to the main opposition Constitutional Democratic Party of Japan, tweeted on Friday, "Their eloquence reminds me of Hitler when he rose to power in Germany at a time of confusion after World War I."
   The Twitter post is "inexcusable," Yasushi Adachi, a House of Representatives lawmaker of Nippon Ishin, said at a Lower House committee meeting on Tuesday. "He would have been called 'out' if this had happened in Germany or the international community," Adachi said.
   "Personally, I don't like using Hitler as an example when I say something," Seiji Osaka, acting head of the CDP, told a press conference on the same day.
   On Wednesday, Fumitake Fujita, secretary-general of Nippon Ishin, visited the CDP headquarters and submitted a written protest over the tweet by Kan.
