企業献金禁止、世襲を制限　立民・野田氏が政策発表

　立憲民主党代表選（７日告示、２３日投開票）に立候補する野田佳彦元首相（６７）は５日、企業・団体献金の禁止、国会議員の世襲制限などを盛り込んだ政策を発表した。「政権交代前夜」と題し、野田政権時に掲げた「分厚い中間層の復活」を主張。格差是正に取り組む考えを示した。
　政策活動費禁止などの政治資金規正法再改正や、内閣人事局を含めた公務員制度改革の再検証を打ち出した。日米同盟を基軸とした外交・安全保障政策も唱えた。
　野田氏は国会内で記者会見し、集団的自衛権行使を認めた安保関連法について「違憲だ」と断じ、見直しを目指す考えを表明。ただ、「すぐに変えられない。一定の継続が前提にならざるを得ない。一気に１８０度転換することはできない」と述べ、日米同盟への影響なども見極めて慎重に対応する考えも示した。
　防衛費増額の財源に充てるための増税は否定した。「政権の中枢にいた（自民党の茂木敏充）幹事長が（増税）ゼロでいいと言っている」と指摘。「私どもも防衛費増税はなし、という方向で考えていくべきだ」と訴えた。（2024/09/05-18:08）

Former Japanese Prime Minister Yoshihiko Noda announced his campaign pledges Thursday in a leadership election of his party, including a ban on political donations from companies and other organizations.
   Noda, 67, set to run in the Sept. 23 election of the main opposition Constitutional Democratic Party of Japan, also promised to introduce restrictions on lawmakers from political dynasties.
   He stressed his policy of focusing on a revival of a robust middle-income class, something he upheld as while he was prime minister more than a decade ago.
   Also proposed was a fresh revision of the political funds control law to ban the so-called policy activity funds, which political parties pay to their member lawmakers, as well as a review of the past civil service system reforms, including the establishment of the Cabinet Bureau of Personnel Affairs.
   He also underlined his support for foreign and security policies based on the Japan-U.S. alliance.
