Prime Minister Abe announces resignation – All people, thank you for your hard work
“#resignation and arrest are a two-piece set”
Prime Minister Abe has (finally) resigned. All people, thank you for your hard work.
Thank you, people, for all your hard work. There were "joyful" posts from our readers as soon as the first news
came in. It was a surprising announcement within not only the opposition but also the Liberal Democratic Party.
However, there was nothing particular to take up in the press conference from 5pm on the 28th. It was unusual
that there was no prompter, but we felt painful to listen to empty words as usual, which ignore reality, went on
and on. We felt painful to listen to him. He never answered important questions such as how to cope with corona,
constitutional amendment, public records management and abduction issue. A freelance reporter asked him “whether
the media measures that were characteristic of the Abe administration were taken by the prime minister himself
or by his staff” and asked whether they were related to democracy. PM Abe became defensive and answered using
his pet phrase: “It’s not characteristic of the Abe administration.” And the moderator interrupted what the
reporter tried to point out. We saw the very picture of media control. Some reporter asked in-depth question
about “privatization of the administration.” However, he answered: “I have no intention to privatize the
administration, but I regret the way I explained it, which led to misunderstanding.” He did his way like this
until the end. I am so glad to know that he resigned.
However, some people on the internet said that we should have driven him into the corner to hold him
accountable instead of letting him use his illness as an excuse to resign. I totally agreed with this opinion.
We had better think "#Resignation and arrest are a good combination” from now on.
The funny thing is that after the news of Prime Minister’s resignation, the Nikkei Stock Average plummeted,
while Aso Group shares soared. The Abe administration has been pouring public funds into the market, but now the
time has come for the true nature of the administration to be revealed.
