JCP 21st Congress Resolution I (1821 words) |
 | In local elections, the JCP surpassed the Liberal Democratic Party in the 1995 simultaneous local elections, and became the top party with the highest number of local assembly members, and since then has steadily increased its seats which are now 4,051 (at the time of the Congress). |
 | The existence and activity of the JCP is now indispensable support for the people who want to defend their living conditions under the "all-are-ruling-parties" politics and who wish for a hopeful future. |
 | The whole party is required to grasp the meaning of the political current of today's JCP advance as a victory for the party's political line and the result of our undaunted struggle based on this line, and we must become convinced of this to make further advances. |

Encyclopedia: Japanese Communist Party (1819 words) |
 | Outlawed from the outset of its founding by the Peace Preservation Law, the JCP was subjected to repression and persecution by the military and police of Imperial Japan. |
 | While the JCP was firmly against the imperial house both during all of the pre-war and most of the post-war era, it has recently said that it is not opposed to the emperor if he has no power and is only a figurehead. |
 | The JCP condemned the North Korean abductions of Japanese and is not currently known to have any direct relationship with the Workers Party of Korea, but it opposes a forced regime change there. |
