We will stop Abe administration’s rampage〜A new party forms




EDANO Yukio, formerly the Democratic (Minshin) Party member, announced at a press conference held on Oct. 2 that he formed a new political party “The Constitutional Democratic Party of Japan.” Asked about the most important point of this election, Edano said, “It is to stop Abe administration’s rampage that destroyed constitutionalism, misappropriated politics and expanded income disparity.” He then added that he saw the limit in top-down politics and intended to focus on grass-roots democracy in economic and social measures. While pushing for postponement of consumption tax hike, no nuclear and opposition of Article 9 revision, Edano said he was considering cooperation with diverse citizens, namely collaboration with ‘Shimin Rengo (Citizens United),’ rather than focusing on relationships with other political parties.” He also emphasized that his party represents workers’ viewpoints. With the press conference marking a powerful kickoff of the new party, Edano was scheduled to register his party the next day along with several politicians who responded to his call. (By M)
