For the summer Upper House election, the Communist Party has created a booklet that explains the party's thinking, such as "I am not thinking of immediately eliminating or abolishing the Self-Defense Forces and the Emperor System."
The Communist Party analyzed that one of the factors that reduced the number of seats in the lower house election last year was a misunderstanding about the party's policies such as security and the emperor system, and a booklet explaining the party's platform and way of thinking for the summer upper house election. is created.
Among them, the Self-Defense Forces, which states that "we will make progress toward elimination" in the party platform, "I do not think that it will be done right now. In the future, Asia will become peaceful, and the overwhelming majority of the people will say," Military power. It is safe even if there is no such thing. ”For the first time, I am proposing to work toward the ideal of Article 9 of the Constitution.”
He also explained about the emperor system, "If we become the ruling party, we will never abolish it. It is our policy to leave it to the consensus of the people based on the Constitution whether to continue or eliminate it."
And if the change of government is realized by the opposition party's joint struggle, he emphasized that "we will not bring into the administration issues that differ from other opposition parties, such as the Japan-US Security Treaty and the Self-Defense Forces," and the Communist Party will use this booklet. I want to spread the understanding of the party's policies.
