On Abefs dangerous move towards constitutional revision: JCP Shii on Constitution Day

JCP Chair Shii said, gWe should not underestimate the danger. This move, however, is dramatically widening the gap between the Abe Cabinet and the public and the gap between the cabinet and the world.h

 

Cabinet establishes advisory council to pave the way for exercising collective self-defense right

gThe U.S. invaded Vietnam and Nicaragua, and the Soviet Union invaded Afghanistan under the pretext of exercising the right of collective self-defense. The right of collective self-defense is an argument to justify aggressions,h JCP Secretariat Head Ichida said.

 

May Day rallies take place at 369 locations across Japan

gLet us advance the social struggle to repel the increasing poverty and disparities and form a majority of the public in opposition to adverse revision of the Constitution by advancing grassroots movements!h JCP Chair Shii said.
