The Democratic Party of Japan has unveiled a final draft of its campaign platform for July's House of Councilors election, criticizing Prime Minister Shinzo Abe's economic policies.
The platform of the DPJ, which lost power in the Dec. 16 general election, also attacks Abe and his Liberal Democratic Party for rushing to revise the pacifist Constitution, the draft showed Monday.
Currently the largest opposition party, the DPJ will stress the "strong side effects" on the economy from "Abenomics," aimed at beating chronic deflation with large budgetary spending, bolder monetary easing and other stimulus, and will warn of "various concerns, such as excessive weakening of the yen and vicious inflation."
