Be Blunt, A Prime Minister Who Took it Straight

Hi, everyone in the world! It is around 2:50 pm in Japan now. It is the time to deliver my today's column:

Ex-Prime Minister of Japan, Mr. Koizumi recommended current Prime Minister, Shinzo Abe to be blunt. It seems that Mr. Koizumi encouraged Shinzo Abe not to care about the low approval rating so much when he said it. However, Mr. Shinzo Abe may have taken it at face value.

A city mayor in Nagasaki Prefecture was barbarously shot and killed. With regard to the cruel tragedy, Prime Minister Shinzo Abe made a comment at his office, "I hope that the truth can be unfolded." Referring to comments made by top officials in both ruling and opposition parties, NishiNippon Newspaper blamed it in their editorial dated today saying, "His remark was too light."

The reason why general Japanese citizens, especially youngsters, are disappointed very much at the politics may be because the politicians cannot empathize with suffering citizens at all.


Thank you for visiting and have a wonderful day!

P.S. I am listing my debut volume, "Falling Japan ~On The Verge of Bankruptcy and Destruction" on ebay. Please take a look at the auction page.
