Former Democratic Party of Japan (DPJ) President Ichiro Ozawa launched a new party together with 48 followers July 11, vowing to fight DPJ leader and Prime Minister Yoshihiko Noda's quest to raise the consumption tax and restart idled nuclear reactors nationwide. Ozawa's new party, Kokumin no Seikatsu ga Daiichi (people's lives come first), tentatively consists of 37 Lower House lawmakers and 12 Upper House lawmakers. During the party's kickoff meeting in Tokyo, Ozawa stressed he would concentrate on fiscal and administrative reforms before a tax hike. (The Japan Times)
