According to a report by Japan's "Asahi Shimbun" on 23 March, Ichiro Ozawa, a representative of the "Japan Life Party and Friends of Taro Yamamoto," wrote in an article in the supplement to the monthly magazine "World" (Iwanami Shoten), which was released on March 23: "Abe has expressed remarks such as 'hating the Japanese Communist Party, and hating Ichiro Ozawa even more,' which is a kind of contempt for himself." Ozawa wanted the DPJ to be cautious about cooperation with the Japanese Communist Party.
Ichiro Ozawa has always advocated unity and cooperation among japan's opposition forces, but he has always maintained a cautious attitude toward the cooperation between the Democratic Party of Japan and the Communist Party in elections. Kazuo Shimoto, chairman of the Japanese Communist Party Committee, who held a dialogue with Ichiro Ozawa in the monthly magazine, said: "I hope that [Abe] will carefully consider whether now is the right time to express his likes and dislikes for the Japanese Communist Party."
