00:00Tokyo, Japanese citizens gathered to protest government attempts to bridge the country's long-standing three non-nuclear principles.
00:07Demonstrators rallied against reported plans to include nuclear exceptions in the upcoming National Security Strategy revision.
00:15Activists warned that introducing exceptions effectively dismantles Japan's post-war pacifist commitment
00:22never to possess, produce or introduce nuclear weapons into its territory.
00:27Protesters also condemned skyrocketing military expenditure, demanding that the government uphold anti-nuclear principles,
00:35reject Western-backed militarization, and prioritize public welfare.
00:48Such a move is very Machiavellian and disgraceful.
00:51I believe that under no circumstances should nuclear weapons be allowed into Japan.
00:55I also oppose incorporating such provisions as new clauses into the three non-nuclear principles.
01:00Once this practice is accepted, the restriction will gradually be loosened, eventually becoming uncontrollable.
01:09Japan has always followed the constitution of the country and formulated and adhered to the three non-nuclear principles,
01:18in accordance with it.
01:20But now the Takeichi administration is trying to bridge this principle.
01:26And I oppose this.
01:28In the final analysis, I simply cannot feel at ease if Japan possesses nuclear weapons.
01:35That is.
01:36Uh-huh.
01:38That is not necessary, therefore.
01:39We can't feel at ease.
01:40We've got no support and noce from the country.
01:41And the, we can't feel it.
