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)

‘I could not let go of a cultish, rightist school’~City council member reveals dubious Moritomo ordeal



“I am stunned to see how the case has attracted so much attention,” said KIMURA Makoto, a Toyonaka city council member (see photo) who triggered the Moritomo Gakuen School ordeal, during the protest at the Diet on March 30. The protest calls for pursuit of the Moritomo case and resignation of Abe administration every Thursday. With about 500 people in the crowd, lawmakers from Minshin, the Communist and Social Democratic parties demanded that the parliament pursuit the truth behind the suspicious dealings behind the Moritomo school. “I knew a gross teaching of Tsukamoto kindergarten, where they made students recite the Imperial Rescript on Education,” Kimura said. “It came out of my genuine wish to ‘crush’ the plan to build the elementary school in our city of Toyonaka. I could not let go of the plan to build a cultish, right-wing school in my city. I don’t agree with ‘sontaku’ to make a decision through assuming best of what someone higher up wishes. If there was a political pressure gestured, that is not considered, ‘sontaku.’ We need to examine where the pressure came from and must speak louder in demand for Abe’s resignation.” (By M)
