2009 JUNE 24 - JUNE 30 Stop increase in military budget on FY 2010 budget: Akahata editorial It is obvious that an increase in the military budget in compiling the FY 2010 national budget would lead to turning Japan into a country that wages wars abroad by invoking the Japan-U.S. military alliance as absolute. Shii calls for thorough parliamentary investigation into illegal donations involving LDP and DPJ The facts about the allegations of illegal donations to Finance Minister Yosano Kaoru and Democratic Party President Hatoyama Yukio have yet to be established as well as the alleged illegal donations to former DPJ President Ozawa Ichiro and Economy, Trade and Industry Minister Nikai Toshihiro from Nishimatsu Construction. JCP candidate campaigns in the home grounds of Abe Shinzo The deep-seated conservative climate that has supported the LDP vote base is weakening rapidly. Angered by the present misgovernment of the LDP-Komei coalition, people are turning to the JCP. .........................................................................................................................................................................
