In light of the situation in Ukraine, the Communist Party's chairman, Kazuo Shii, pointed out that a diplomatic strategy that makes use of Article 9 of the Constitution is now necessary, and in the summer House of Councilors election, he will face the ruling party in order to prevent the revision of Article 9. I emphasized the attitude.
The Communist Party held a meeting of representatives of local organizations, and the chairman of Shii reported on his policy for the summer Upper House election.
In this, Mr. Shii said, "There are voices worried about" Is Japan's peace okay "when seeing Russia's invasion, but when the other party came with the logic of military and nuclear weapons, he opposed with the same logic. It is the most dangerous to fall into the vicious circle of "military vs. military". A diplomatic strategy that makes use of Article 9 of the Constitution is now necessary. "
He then said, "We will take the crisis and amend Article 9 of the Constitution to bring Japan to a dangerous path, and we will make a stop referee." I emphasized the attitude of going.
On the other hand, regarding Article 9 of the Constitution, "It is not a non-resistive principle, and there is an individual right of self-defense. In the unlikely event of an imminent infringement of sovereignty, the people will use all means including the Self-Defense Forces. It is the party's position to protect the lives of the people and the sovereignty of Japan. "
