Environment Minister Shinjiro Koizumi

Shinjiro Koizumi "opposes" the theory of abolition of the proportional retirement system

Environment Minister Shinjiro Koizumi was "opposed" at a post-Cabinet conference meeting on December 12, when he was asked to accept a call from a veteran Liberal Democratic Party member to abolish the "73-year-old retirement age" representative of the House of Representatives. I answered immediately. "There is no retirement age in the single-election district. There seems to be a move to review this issue in conjunction with the "100 years of life" (proposed by myself) There is no retirement age," he touched on the difference between a single-seat constituency and a proportional representation, and repeated, "I'm the opposite". "I wonder if the Youth Bureau will move in the Liberal Democratic Party in the future and the "Youth Bureau soul" (opposing the abolition of retirement age) will be demonstrated", he said.

The 73-year-old retirement system was introduced by Shinjiro's father, Junichiro Koizumi, when he chose the candidate for the 2003 House of Representatives election during the prime ministerial era. It has also been applied to former prime ministers Yasuhiro Nakasone and Kiichi Miyazawa, who have been forced to "retire from parliament".Shinjiro himself strongly opposed the fact that the candidate who was 71 years old was officially recognized as an exception to the 70-year-old mandatory retirement age in the Upper House before the House of Representatives election in June 2013 when he was the LDP Youth Bureau Chief.
