Around 650 people gathered in Elgala Hall in Tenjin on Oct. 29 to protest against TPP. The protesters held flags that read “TPP danko hantai” (“we are against TPP”). The head of JA Fukuoka Chuo-kai said that the government is not giving clear answers to question raised by the Opposition, “TPP is secretive. We don’t understand why the government is hurrying to decide on it.” The protesters believe TPP will affect agricultural food safety issues. Source: Mainichi Shinbun, 10/30
