PoliticsJapan’s LDP faces opposition over push to speed up constitutional revision talks

Japan’s ruling Liberal Democratic Party renewed its call to accelerate constitutional revision discussions, including explicitly naming the Self-Defense Forces in Article 9. Opposition lawmakers objected to rushing the process, saying revision is not a priority for the public. The government’s push has fueled concern, and about 14,000 people recently rallied outside the National Diet to defend the pacifist Constitution.
