On April 23, Japan's House of Representatives passed a bill to set up the national intelligence council and the national intelligence bureau, seeking to create the country's first centralized national-level intelligence system since World War II. Driven by Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi, the overhaul consolidates power across government, military and private sectors under tight prime ministerial control. Protesters said the bill would suppress the anti-war voices within Japan. "Under the Takaichi government, many things are decided unilaterally by the government and then forcibly implemented. We work hard to pay taxes so that all of us can live healthy and stable lives, but why do they unilaterally plan to launch a war? And Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi is evading responsibility, even unwilling to have a proper conversation, showing no remorse. I think this is absolutely unacceptable," said a protester. The Takaichi government is also accelerating the efforts to expand military power and revise the country's current Constitution which took effect in 1947. Widely known as the pacifist Constitution, the supreme law's Article 9 renounces war as a sovereign right of the nation and the threat or use of force as a means of settling international disputes. It also stipulates that Japan will never maintain land, sea, and air forces or other war potential, and that the right of belligerency of the state will not be recognized. "First of all, I cannot understand why those who should abide by the Constitution want to revise it. Aren't there many things that should be prioritized over constitutional revision? For example, the effects of situation in the Strait of Hormuz, which leads to oil supply shortage. These issues have not been addressed, yet they keep talking about the Constitution and constitutional revision. I completely cannot understand this. I am absolutely opposed to revising the Constitution," said another protester. 　東京都永田町にある衆議院議員会館前で12日、数百人が「国家情報会議」創設法案に反対する抗議集会を行った。 　「国家情報会議」創設法案は12日、参議院内閣委員会で審議入りした。法案は4月23日の衆院本会議で賛成多数で可決され、衆院を通過した。 　抗議者たちは「この法案は国内の反戦の声を封じ込めるものだ」と批判した。 　＜集会参加者＞ 　「高市政権だけで決めて、それを押し付けているっていうことが、何のために税金払っているのっていうと、国民みんなが健全に生活ができるようにしたいがために、私たちは頑張って払ってるのに、なんで勝手に戦争を始めろうとしてんのよっていう話を、あいつは逃げてて、話し合いの1つもできない。全く反省しない。全然ダメだと思います」 　また、高市政権が憲法改定や軍拡を加速させる動きに対しても懸念を示しつつ、憲法9条の平和主義の精神を守るよう訴えた。 　＜集会参加者＞ 　「それをなんで守らなきゃいけない人たちが変えようとしてるのかが、まずわからないです。今もっといろいろやらなきゃいけないことってあるじゃないですか。憲法より先に、ホルムズ海峡のナフサが足りないだとか、そういうことをやらずに、なんでそんな憲法、憲法って言ってるのかがわからないです。私はもう憲法改正は絶対反対です」 Japanese/Nats 日本語/自然音声 Tokyo, Japan - May 12, 2026 (CCTV - No access Chinese mainland) 1.
