--- And high prices will not subside anytime soon.
On the 18th and 19th of this month, the Bank of Japan held a monetary policy meeting and raised the policy interest rate from 0.5% to 0.75%.
The prime minister, Takaichi strongly warned the Bank of Japan during the Liberal Democratic Party leadership race, saying, 'Raising interest rates now is foolish,' but eventually accepted rate hikes, unable to stand by as the yen weakened and prices soared.
However, the yen's depreciation has not eased even with the Bank of Japan's interest rate hike.

--- And reached an agreement on the annual income wall of 1.78 million yen.

The Takaichi's inconvenient remark: 'A crisis in Taiwan (due to China's military actions), it will become a crisis for Japan.'

No.1512 / Dec./ 14/ 2025
The Takaichi administration stirs illusions of a 'strong economy'
--- That's a petty trick far from any kind of extended reproduction.

On November 28, the Takaichi administration approved a supplementary budget proposal (totaling 18.3 trillion yen) at a cabinet meeting.
Including funding for 'economic measures,' spreading the illusion that this policy will create a 'strong economy,' promote economic growth, increase corporate profits, boost tax revenues, and improve the fiscal foundation.

No.1511 / Nov./ 23/ 2025
We firmly condemn Sanae Takaichi's provocations against China!
--- She stated that a 'Taiwan contingency' is a 'contingency for Japan'.

On November 7, Prime Minister Takaichi stated at the House of Representatives Budget Committee that a 'contingency in Taiwan,' specifically naming China, would be related to a 'crisis concerning Japan’s existence.
‘This is the first time that Takaichi has explicitly named China in an official setting and stated that a 'Taiwan contingency' would be 'a Japanese contingency,' and it is a dangerous remark that could provoke war.

The reactionary Takaichi administration has begun!

On the 24th, Takaichi delivered a policy speech, met with Trump for a summit on the 28th, and then gave a speech to the U.S. military with Trump on an American aircraft carrier in Yokosuka.

--- Workers should crush both parties’ strategy to reduce parliamentarians.
No.1509 / Oct./ 26 / 2025
The far-right Takaichi-LDP and Ishin reactionary government has just started.
--- It is a reactionary government set free.
On the 21st, the coalition government of the Liberal Democratic Party (LDP) led by Sanae Takaichi and the Japan Innovation Party (JIP)was formed.
Although the JIP will cooperate from outside the cabinet without sending ministers, the LDP and the JIP, which share the same national vision, are alike.
The bills and policies to be submitted in near future are likely to be a list of unacceptable measures that are reactionary and impose burdens and sacrifices on workers. For Takaichi, who 'sealed' her own views during the party leadership election, the Innovation Party is the best partner to implement her policies.
