宇都宮氏、正式に出馬表明　都知事選

　元日弁連会長の宇都宮健児氏（７３）は２７日、東京都庁で記者会見し、任期満了に伴う都知事選（７月５日投開票）に無所属で出馬すると発表した。新型コロナウイルス感染症に対応するため、医療提供体制の充実や非正規雇用者らの生活保障などを訴えるという。
　会見では「新型コロナウイルスの影響で、仕事や住まいを失う都民がたくさん出てきている」と指摘。「しわ寄せを一番受けるのは経済的、社会的困難を抱えている人。そこに手を差し伸べる施策が行われていない」と述べ、小池百合子都政の対策は不十分だと批判した。（2020/05/27-12:18）

Kenji Utsunomiya, former president of the Japan Federation of Bar Associations, announced Wednesday that he will run as an independent candidate in the July 5 gubernatorial election in Tokyo.
   Utsunomiya lost in the Tokyo governorship polls in 2012 and 2014. In the 2016 election, he withdrew his bid after opposition parties fielded a unified candidate, who ended up being defeated by current Governor Yuriko Koike.
   At a press conference on Wednesday, Utsunomiya said his campaign will feature plans to improve medical services and provide aid to nonregular employees, as part of the fight against the coronavirus epidemic.
   "Due to fallout from the coronavirus, many people in the capital are losing their jobs and homes," he said.
   Utsunomiya criticized the incumbent governor's response to the epidemic for failing to reach socially and economically vulnerable people.
