On Sept 24, Sanae Takaichi, who is running in the LDP presidential election, replied to a question at the Japan National Press Club concerning validity of her earlier remark on foreigners kicking deer in Nara. She replied that she had “done her own checking”.
She further said she made the statement to address the growing anxiety among some Japanese people against foreigners.
Japanese Communist Party Secretary-General Akira Koike condemned the remarks as a serious problem for stirring up prejudice against foreigners.
