　Aiming to end the pursuit of slush fands
---　Dispositions to extend the life of the Liberal Democratic Party government

　On April 4th, Kishida's Liberal Democratic Party (LDP) punished several members getting the party's slush fund scandal over the political party slush fund scandal.
　However, even though no progress has been made in clarifying the persons who started the slush funds and what they were used for, the decision to dispose of them is haphazard totally.
　This case exposes the Kishida LDP's intention to conceal the truth and end the slush fund issue with superficial punishment, to prolong the life of the government.

　The spring struggle without strike is a surrender to capital.
---　 The workers of the world have launched a fight.

　The amount of wage increase demands for this year's spring wage negotiations has begun to be reported. It is reported that it is a "historically high level of bear demand" (2/15 Asahi), but there is no sense of euphoria in the spring fight right now.
　Since 2013, Japan's wage increase struggle has been a "bid rigging spring struggle" that is effectively decided through negotiations between government, labor, and management.
　Japan Federation of Economic Organization (JFEO) said, "It is the social responsibility of JFEO and corporations to aim for wage increases that are consistent with rising prices with more enthusiasm than last year."
　In response, the Japanese Trade Union Confederation (JTUC) said JTUC and JFEO "share the same understanding" and that they "basically share the historical meaning of the Spring Life Struggle.
　" The JTUC follows capital and the government, which "lead" wage increases, and spread the illusion of a "virtuous cycle of wage increases and prices" and "sustainable wage increases" among workers.
