With the Heimeikyo Strike going on with little sign of resolution, as the strikers showed no interest in giving up and the Kuniyuki Cabinet unable to resolve the situation peacefully, Kuniyuki has chosen to brandish his anti extremist credentials and begin a crackdown on the Heimeikyo Strike, with riot police being ordered to break up the strike and avoid as much violence as possible. Within hours, arrests were made as strike leaders were apprehended and arrested for "disturbing the peace", "threatening national cohesion" and "disrupting economic recovery". While initially the strikers had sympathetic goals, mostly warning the restoration of the State Diet, public sympathy quickly drained up as the strike lasted longer and longer, causing concerns over economic recovery.
Reactions from the centre have shifted from awkwardness and uncomfortableness to a more "law and order" mindset, albeit with more hesitancy from the Progressives, due to their strong beliefs in unionization. The far right has, in another rhetorically flip flop, have decried the Kuniyuki Cabinet as dictators curbing the power of the average Sekowan. The far left however, has been rather livid as the crackdown on a communist dominated strike has, unsurprisingly, drawn the ire of the far left. Any sympathy that the far left had for the Kuniyuki Cabinet however, evaporated as earlier today, December 1st, the Ministry of Justice confirmed active investigations will begin on whether the Seko Communist-Kaminskist Workers Party, and it's affiliated organizations are constitutional.
Almost immediately, the SCKWP declared that the Kuniyuki Cabinet was nothing more than a fascist state in liberal clothing, and that the Sekowan Proletariat must rise up against fascistic tyranny. Given the rapid anti extremism of Prime Minister Kuniyuki however, it's likely that once this metaphorical genie is out of the bottle, Kuniyuki will set his gaze on the far right. As public opinion is turning against the communists (and even the SFRP due to economic recovery slowly occuring), even the most left wing progressives have had trouble defending the communists and arguing against the banning of the SCKWP. In all likelihood, we won't find out what the answer will be to whether they will be banned or not, for a few months at best.
