Constitution Amendment **Article 98 and 99**; Are we facing the Weimar Moment?

今年も残り僅かですが、衆議院選の余波に世の中揺れております。

前回は「国会議員お金もらいすぎちゃうんか?文通費は党に寄付すべき?論について話しました。なーんか政府や政治家への不満が溜まってるような気がする今日このごろ、次回は「こんな状況で憲法改正、どう思う?」がテーマです。

衆院選の結果、憲法改正がかなり現実味を帯びてきました。あまり報道されないことも多いですが、もしかしたら今私たちはワイマール憲法から学ぶことがあるのかも。そう言えば「ナチスを見習ってこそっと変えちゃおうぜ」なんて言ってた元首相もおりました。

2Constitution Amendment **Article 98 and 99**; Are we facing the Weimar Moment?

1 Current Japan and Weimar Rpublic have a lot in common. In 1920s, people in Germany were struck by the WWI and the Great Depression. Now, Japanese people are struck by long recession and covid 19. What are things in common? what is different?

2 Do you think that we are facing the Weimar Moment?

3 Please refer to the picture with hand writing of Big Issue. Do you agree with the LDP's proposed amendments to the article 98 and 99 of the Constitution, which clearly state that human rights should be restricted or suspended?
