On the afternoon of the 14th, large numbers of demonstrators marched in Tokyo to protest the Sanae Takaichi government's recent military-expansion measures. Protesters wearing helmets marked anti-war/peace chanted against constitutional revision and to prevent war; organizers accused the government of strengthening the US-Japan security framework, expanding the Self-Defense Forces and accelerating national militarization, calling it a path to war. A protester surnamed Kashimura told reporters that persistent price rises, heavier tax burdens and higher social-security spending, together with proposed laws to curb speech and suppress anti-war voices, threaten freedom of expression.(金十数据)
