December 28, Japan's Prime Minister aide, is Yosuke Isozaki spoke as follows at

Twitter for a particular secret protection law.

"It (particular secret protection law) is not intended to


strengthen the regulation of you can increase the secret, to the

Whether news organizations of Japan became quiet to understand what.
If you know the trends of the recent past of the Japanese government (Abe
LDP-regime) and the news media, you will be able to understand the fear of this
remark.
Japan's Prime Minister, Shinzo Abe is willing thoroughly coverage be
disadvantageous to the press and his regime to criticize their own, were carried
out a number of threat and pressure.
In particular, I did not forgive the coverage of Abenomics criticized comfort
women issue.
A result, in December the first half of the House of Representatives election
period, coverage each station without any news that is disadvantageous to the
Abe administration, I have continued to flow election expected and Abe of self-PR
of the announcement of the Liberal Democratic Party, "Liberal Democratic Party
300 seats won" earnestly.
This is the "became quiet understand" attitude that their say.
Coverage to guard against the Abe administration and certain secret protection
law that they were through alone, they I have asked the "abnormal" and
Ihanachi up, more of "Understanding and silence."
That what Abe administration aims by a number of measures and pressure is the
the "understanding people to silence", it is no longer obvious.

The "civilians touch to a specific secret", not only civilians touched on the
business, include information and the person who was accused in the original in
public the information they have learned by leak, even those who have or
performed information diffusion .
And that the contents of a particular secret is involved in national crime and
unjust act, guaranteed not to exert a significant disadvantage to the people
rather, it is obvious that remains there is no monitoring function that reliable
when secret specified .
Concluded this point, "It's not intended to strengthen the regulation of you can
increase the secret, to the general public" does not hold.
