Japanese opposition parties have expressed strong opinions against the Prime Minister's attempt to amend the pacifist constitution and called for the public to stand with them.

"Our pacifist constitution is going to be changed. There is no way we are going to accept the new security law or any amendment in the Article 9," said Katsuya Okada, from the Decocratic Party.

Leaders of opposition parties count on the election to stop Abe to amend the constitution. Abe's ruling party and its allies need at least two thirds of the upper houses seats so that they can propose a referendum on the amendment. The opposition calls on the public to stop Abe from walking astray from the path of peace.
