According to local public broadcaster NHK on the 11th, Naoki Hayakuta, the leader of the far-right conservative party, appeared on a YouTube channel on the 8th and said, "If a woman is single beyond the age of 25, she cannot marry for life, or if she is over the age of 30, she will have a uterus removed."
Representative Hyakuta presupposed, "I'm not saying this is good, but a novelist's science fiction (scientific fiction), but it is considered an argument that women who avoid giving birth should set a deadline and pressure them.
As the remarks immediately became controversial, CEO Hyakuta explained through the media, "This is not my argument because I said it after saying it was SF. If I don't do this much, I will not be able to transform the social structure and change the social structure and women's entry structure."
He added, "I withdraw and apologize for that because there will be women who have felt rejected and offended."
Representative Hyakuta is a broadcast writer and novelist who is known to have been close to former Prime Minister Shinzo Abe. In the past, it has also been controversial in Korea for its blatant anti-Korean remarks, such as, "If it becomes a combat state, Koreans in Japan (Korean) become an enemy country, so they can be crushed and killed without distancing themselves."
