Objection Against Japanese Communist Party Chairman Kazuo Shii’s Tweet on Illegality of Hiroyuki-san’s Young Women Support Project in Tax-Funded City Collaboration | Gadget Communication GetNews

A tweet by Japanese Communist Party Chairman Kazuo Shii on March 19th discusses the attack on collaboration, which is a backlash against progress towards gender equality. Shii suggests solidarity in repelling this countercurrent. The Red Flag Newspaper also published an article titled “Young women support project: protect your activities from despicable interference.” The article recognizes doubts surrounding the contract with Colabo and four other organizations in the Tokyo Metropolitan Assembly.

Founder of 2channel Hiroyuki Nishimura objected to Shii’s tweet, arguing that the young women’s support project in the city where collaboration receives taxes is against the rules. Nishimura also posted an article in ZAKZAK, suggesting that the Tokyo Metropolitan Government violated contract procedures, with the contract fee to Colabo being 26 million yen.

Some criticized Shii’s tweet and article, mentioning the potential danger in changing the story and questioning Shii’s response to suspicions.

On March 19, Japanese Communist Party Chairman Kazuo Shii posted on Twitter

《The essence of the attack on collaboration is a backlash that dislikes the progress of gender equality such as the establishment of the Women’s Support Law and aims to preserve discrimination against women and sexual exploitation. Let’s raise our voices in solidarity and repel the countercurrent.”

I extracted the last part of the article and tweeted it.

Regarding the Tokyo Metropolitan Government’s project to support young female victims, several members of the Tokyo Metropolitan Assembly, including Shinichiro Kawamatsu, questioned it, and it was pointed out that there were doubts about the contract with Colabo and other four organizations in the Tokyo Metropolitan Assembly. It is a development that is reported on one side.

An article in the Akahata Shimbun and a tweet by Chairman Shii seem to cover up such facts. Both have received a lot of criticism online.

Hiroyuki objects to Chairman Shii’s tweet

Hiroyuki Nishimura, the founder of 2channel, quoted Shii’s tweet.

The young women’s support project in the city where collaboration receives taxes is against the rules. When you say “reverse the flow”, do you mean to ignore the violation of the rules? I think it’s a matter of course in a law-abiding country to correct the use of tax money for violation of rules.
