TOKYO, Feb. 25 (Xinhua) — A large crowd of Japanese people gathered in Tokyo on Tuesday evening to protest Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi's dangerous policies, including accelerating constitutional revision, expanding military capabilities and strengthening national intelligence functions, expressing concern about the country's future.
Participants in the rally held signs reading “Against the revision of the constitution” and “Don’t let fascism out of its cage,” and chanted slogans such as “No to war.”
Noriko Kashikawa, one of the protesters, told reporters that she is "100 percent opposed" to Sanae Takaichi's political agenda. She noted that Japan is being pushed toward a state of permanent military readiness, arguing that if the country is constantly pushed toward conflict, "it will ultimately lead to self-destruction."
Many young people were also seen in the crowd. A university student named Matsubara said she was concerned about the government's recent political moves, adding that "all these actions appear to be preparations for war." She expressed hope that the government would more accurately reflect public opinion.
On February 20, speaking in the Diet, Sanae Takaichi reaffirmed her firm commitment to constitutional revision. She called for a fundamental strengthening of Japan's defense capability, an expansion of lethal weapons exports, and a strengthening of national intelligence capabilities. These statements sparked widespread concern and criticism from Japanese society.
