In the upcoming election, he will be focusing on key issues such as &#8220;Stopping the TPP,&#8221; &#8220;Decommissioning Nuclear Power Plants,&#8221; &#8220;Freezing the Consumption Tax Increase,&#8221; and &#8220;Enhancing Social Security to Support the Elderly,&#8221; aiming to protect Japan&#8217;s food and livelihoods.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In line with his candidacy announcement, we will hold a press conference where Mr. Yamada will share his determination and vision for the election.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Furthermore, Dr. Hideto Tomabechi, a cognitive scientist who collaborates with Mr. Yamada in opposing the TPP, will be launching his new booklet, &#8220;TPP Destroys Democracy! The Terrifying Scenario of Global Domination by Giant Corporations.&#8221; Dr. Tomabechi will provide a logical explanation of how the TPP could harm citizens based on Mr. Yamada&#8217;s arguments. This press conference will also cover why the TPP poses significant disadvantages to the public, which has not been sufficiently reported by the media.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We sincerely invite you to attend and report on this important event.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\uff3bDatails\uff3d<br>Date and Time: Monday, July 1, from 11:00 AM (Doors open at 10:30 AM)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Location: ANA InterContinental Hotel, B1F &#8220;Aurora&#8221; 1-12-33 Akasaka, Minato-ku, Tokyo 1-minute walk from Tameike-Sanno Station, Exit 13 2-minute walk from Roppongi-Itchome Station, Exit 3<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Organizer: Institute for Next Generation Policies 7-5-11 Roppongi, Minato-ku, Tokyo info@jisedaiseisakukenkyu.org<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\uff3bAnnouncement\uff3d Announcement Masahiko Yamada, Former Minister of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries, Declares  [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":13,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":"","wp-seo-meta-description":"","wp-seo-meta-robots":[]},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-5275","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","6":"category-info","7":"c-entry"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/crl.co.jp\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5275","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/crl.co.jp\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/crl.co.jp\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/crl.co.jp\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/13"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/crl.co.jp\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=5275"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/crl.co.jp\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5275\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":5380,"href":"https:\/\/crl.co.jp\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5275\/revisions\/5380"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/crl.co.jp\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=5275"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/crl.co.jp\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=5275"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/crl.co.jp\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=5275"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
