Three opposition parties, including the Constitutional Democratic Party and the Communist Party, have argued that civic groups in a position to protect the Constitution will attend a rally held in Tokyo and prevent the ruling party and other parties from moving toward constitutional amendment.

Among them, Mr. Soichiro Okuno of the Constitutional Democratic Party, who is the lead secretary of the opposition party at the Constitutional Research Committee of the House of Representatives, said, "The ruling party's stance of pushing for a constitutional amendment due to emergency response etc. I cannot forgive it. I would like to argue head-on that Article 9 of the Constitution will bring peace to Japan and appeal to the people about the terribleness of the ruling party's constitutional amendment. "



After that, he appealed for the summer House of Councilors election, saying, "I would like to work together with the opposition parties to stop the constitutional amendment so that the constitutional amendment will be less than two-thirds."

The Communist Party chairman, Kazuo Shii, said, "It is the role of politics to devote wisdom and power to diplomacy that makes use of Article 9 of the Constitution so as not to cause a war. What Japan should do is not the ability to attack enemy bases, but East Asia. It's about making a peaceful area without worrying about war. "

In addition, Fukushima, the leader of the Social Democratic Party, said, "It is time for Article 9 of the Constitution, which has decided not to go to war, to shine in the world. Let's change politics with the power of democracy and make the Constitution shine."
