　Workers do not trust Takaichi
---　Fight back against the Takaichi administration that promotes reactionary policies

　The results of the House of Representatives election, announced on January 27 with voting on February 8, were a complete victory for the Liberal Democratic Party, exceeding their expectations. Takaichi has already begun moving on reactionary politics.

　The Takaichi administration abruptly shifted from 'introducing a consumption tax for social security' to its political sophistry of claiming that cutting or abolishing the tax would improve consumption shortages.

　In the House of Representatives election, the 'centrist' forces resulted in a devastating defeat.

　Prime Minister Takaichi’ deception that economic development comes from security investments
---　It is an investment strategy for imperialism　

　We have argued that 'Takaichi's proactive fiscal policy' is a warmed-over 'Abenomics,' and therefore ultimately results in fiscal handouts.
　The worst part of all is that the new fiscal year's budget proposal includes a record-high military expenditure of 9 trillion yen (with military loans totaling 18 trillion yen), spreading the illusion to young people that investing in security will lead to 'economic development'.

　The Ishin Party, which is strengthening reactionary policies, is counting on Takaichi to revive its political influence.

　Stop the return to nuclear power immediately!
---　Chuden fabricated earthquake data, and at TEPCO alarms were sounding.

　The Chūdō Reform Alliance's 'political fund' plan is a sham scheme to create a 'new source of revenue'.

No.1515 / Jan./ 25 / 2026
　The dissolution of the Lower House is for the sake of consolidating the power!
---　Prime Minister Takaichi is thoroughly preparing to build a militarily strong nation.

　Prime Minister Takaichi decided to dissolve the House of Representatives at the start of the regular Diet session convened on the 23rd.
　If the Diet is dissolved at the beginning of the session, the schedule for the regular session will be shortened, the passage of the budget will be delayed, and one of the key policies of Ishin, the coalition partner, namely the "reduction of the number of lawmakers," may be scrapped.
　So why did Takaichi devise such a strategy?

The 'centrist' cannot fight on its own,
--　None the less the Constitutional Democratic Party and Komeito have formed a 'Centrist Reform Alliance.'

　The Takaichi administration has decided on the initial budget proposal for the next fiscal year, which is the largest ever in the general account.
　Takaichi calls it a 'budget to make the Japanese Archipelago strong and prosperous' through 'responsible proactive fiscal policy.
　 'However, in fact, it means the just indiscriminate spending and a focus on the military, and the cost will inevitably fall on future workers and those who are employed.

　The Takaichi administration falsified the amount of new bond issuance to make it appear smaller!

　The shift from the Technical Intern Training Program for foreign workers to the System for Employment and Training is just a rebranded 'conscription labor system'!

　Let’s condemn the unleashed tyrant, U.S. President Trump for carrying out a military invasion upon Venezuela!

Even with interest rate hikes, the yen continues to weak.
---　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.
