所得・ガソリン減税を要求　国民代表、連立参加は否定

　国民民主党の玉木雄一郎代表は２９日の記者会見で、自公両党の連立政権への参加を改めて否定した。その上で「ほしいのはポストではなく、選挙で約束した手取りを増やす経済政策の実現だ」と強調。所得税の減税やガソリン税の暫定税率廃止などについて「どの党に対しても訴え、協力を求めたい」と述べた。
　玉木氏はまた、政府が物価高対策として実施している電気・ガス代補助に関し、単に延長するだけでは「不十分だ」と指摘した。（2024/10/29-12:40）

The Democratic Party for the People, which advanced in Sunday's general election in Japan, would ask any party to cooperate with its proposals to cut income and gasoline taxes, its leader, Yuichiro Tamaki, said Tuesday.
   Speaking at a press conference, Tamaki reiterated that his party will not join the ruling Liberal Democratic Party-Komeito coalition, which failed to win a majority in the House of Representatives election.
   At the same time, he stressed, "What we want is not (government) posts, but the implementation of economic policies to increase take-home pay, as we promised in the election."
   The remarks came as Prime Minister Shigeru Ishiba, who is LDP president, has expressed a willingness to work with opposition parties to maintain his government.
   Tamaki also said that a simple extension of the current subsidy program to curb electricity and gas bills would be "not enough" as a measure against inflation.
