“Is this OK?! 12.8 Massive Action
against TPP” drew 2,700 people on Dec. 8 to Hibiya Open
Air Music Hall in Tokyo. This rally was organized by 165 organizations
including a group of lawyers against TPP, a group of university staff calling
on immediate withdrawal from TPP negotiations, Japan homemakers’ association, Farmers’
Organization, medical groups, co-ops and labor unions. The organizers and Diet
members spoke at the event. “While the government
promoted participation in TPP negotiations by saying that we shouldn’t miss the bandwagon, it kept the talks confidential. It is reported
that the settlement will be concluded by the end of this year. We can’t accept it. The government should withdraw from the negotiations,” a speaker said. (By OZAWA Kuniko OZA)
