Recently, Japanese Prime Minister Yoshihide Suga has been a little annoyed, not only because of the decline in his support rate, but also because of the embarrassing nickname "スガーリン" (pronounced "Sugalin") that he got at the end of last year. ), it also began to ferment and become popular in government departments... This was spread by bureaucrats in government agencies based on the Internet, and then looked at the work style of Prime Minister Yoshihide Suga indifferently, and thought of Stalin, the autocratic leader of the former Soviet Union, and Stalin and Suga The pronunciation of Yoshihide's surname "Jian" is indeed very similar as described by netizens, so after some brainstorming and a little "you know" behind his back, he came up with "Sugalin" ( For the sake of image, I translated it as "Suga Dalin"), which is a ironic nickname. So, why did Prime Minister Yoshihide Suga, who earned nicknames such as "Peasant Prime Minister" and "Public Prime Minister" as soon as he came to power, suddenly become "Suga Dalin"?
It turns out that since Prime Minister Yoshihide Suga took office, the bureaucrats in Japan's political center - Nagata Town have discovered what they think of this so-called "unique political style" because of the euphemistically called "unique political style" he has adopted. There are some shadows of "dictatorship" showing up, which is greatly inconsistent with the original image of the peasant prime minister. Undoubtedly, this frightened the bureaucrats in Nagata Town, because the current Prime Minister Yoshihide Suga is no longer the "gentle Ogisan " he once appeared to be, but a "leopard change" (sudden change) ) in order to "kill" (fire) or "transfer" those who oppose their decisions at the slightest disagreement. In this way, how can we not make those bureaucrats who hold different political opinions panic all day long?
In fact, according to the analysis of " Mainichi Shimbun ", Prime Minister Yoshihide Suga has already shown signs of being arbitrary as early as when he served as Chief Cabinet Secretary. For example, when the local tax was implemented in the Abe era, the then Chief Cabinet Secretary Yoshihide Suga took drastic measures to remove important officials from the Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications who opposed the government's decision. According to details disclosed by "Weekly Shincho", at that time, the director of autonomous taxation of the Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications Hirashima Akihide submitted a newly published report against local taxes with his own opinions to Chief Suga for personal reading, but he did not want to be reprimanded by Chief Suga. , and in the subsequent personnel adjustment report, Hirashima Akihide's name was directly marked with an X, and he was assigned to teach at a private university. From this, it can be seen that Prime Minister Suga had exposed his stubbornness and dictatorship at the time. Therefore, the current Prime Minister "Dabayashi Suga" was evaluated by Director Hirashimahara as "The Prime Minister is the ultimate self-centered person." .
It is said that when Prime Minister Suga was Chief Cabinet Secretary, bureaucrats who opposed government decisions were often threatened with "relocation if they objected." Since Yoshihide Suga took office as prime minister, the initial impression given to people was that political affairs completely adhered to the line of Prime Minister Abe. At that time, Japanese public opinion evaluated him as a transitional prime minister who "acted according to the established guidelines." Once upon a time, this kind-hearted farmer began to show his true colors in Lushan. I remember that in October last year, Prime Minister "Tabayashi Suga" simply exercised the Prime Minister's power of rejection on the appointment of members of the Japan Academic Conference against six scholars who criticized the government's policies. This matter caused an uproar in the public for a while. Next, Prime Minister Suga's delay in making a decision on the matter of the obstruction of the travel GO TO plan due to the epidemic also attracted criticism from public opinion. Through this, people truly understood what Prime Minister Suga Yoshihide said. The true face of the "unique political style", the nickname "Suga Dalin" has officially begun to become popular among government departments.
It is said that since last autumn, Prime Minister Yoshihide Suga's nickname "Suga Dalin" has gradually spread on the Internet. Prime Minister Yoshihide Suga's original nickname had nothing to do with a red background poster launched by the Liberal Democratic Party Small. It turns out that this poster launched by the Liberal Democratic Party is a bust of Prime Minister Yoshihide Suga against a red background, with the words "Work for the People" underneath. This poster reminded netizens of the bust of Stalin with a red background. Portrait, so the nickname "Suga Dalin" made its grand debut due to the inspiration of netizens.This was originally a joke by bored netizens, but after the Prime Minister exercised his right of rejection against six scholars, it reminded people of the Prime Minister’s strong style in his tenure as Chief Cabinet Secretary. Finally, they understood the power of the Prime Minister. That is The iron-fisted Prime Minister resolutely takes measures to suppress and eliminate those who speak against him. Therefore, it is said that the staff serving the Prime Minister are now "YES men" (good old guys who are obedient). This has also caused Prime Minister Yoshihide Suga to be unable to listen. That’s why the measures taken by Prime Minister Yoshihide Suga on GO TO travel and in response to the epidemic have been ridiculed as “backhand” (slow), which is why the words are not smooth! So, who else could Prime Minister Suga’s autocratic style be but Stalin? So, taking advantage of the homophonic pronunciation of Guang'er, Prime Minister "Suga Dalin" naturally became popular.
According to the "Mainichi Shimbun" report, a senior member of the Liberal Democratic Party once told the media that since the beginning of this year, the nickname "Suga Dalin" has begun to be widely used in government agencies. As for the reason, of course, the Prime Minister's support rate has dropped sharply. caused by. When the Prime Minister's support rate was high, people in the bureaucracy did not dare to call him "Suga Dalin" due to the Prime Minister's absolute power. But now the spread of this name in government agencies proves the Prime Minister's power from another aspect. The power has begun to gradually decline. It is estimated that Prime Minister Suga has no hope of re-election, and people are no longer afraid.
Of course, based on the transparent public opinion environment, Prime Minister Suga has long known that his support rate has continued to decline due to slow response to the epidemic and other issues, which makes him very anxious. I remember that at a press conference at the end of February this year, Prime Minister Suga got angry when faced with reporters' questions and said, "The questions you asked are almost all the same." The reporters were dumbfounded. With this, Prime Minister Suga gained another A nickname for "イラ腅" (irritable Suga). However, it can also be seen that Prime Minister Suga is indeed becoming anxious about the sharp drop in his approval rating. In order to save his political life, Prime Minister Suga did not hesitate to risk contracting the epidemic and offending China. He went to the United States and concocted a joint statement with Biden to interfere with other countries' internal affairs. Come. In fact, this incident once again proves what a senior Liberal Democratic Party member said that Prime Minister Suga does not make decisions after consulting with those around him, but his "solitary political style" of deciding national affairs by himself. Prime Minister Abehara makes decisions based on his confidence as the longest-serving Prime Minister in Japanese history. Although Prime Minister Suga Obayashi is the longest-serving Chief Cabinet Secretary in history, he is after all the Prime Minister’s butler and the longest-serving Prime Minister. They are completely different things. This obviously cannot be learned. But Prime Minister Yoshihide Suga did just that. Not surprisingly, he also got the nickname "Suga Dalin" and his approval rate dropped significantly. He continued in this style. If we keep playing, it’s really hard to say what the fate of Prime Minister Suga will be during the Liberal Democratic Party’s presidential election in September this year. Let’s wait and see. ■
