According to a CCTV report on September 6, the approval rating of Japanese Prime Minister Yoshihide Suga has dropped to 25.8%. On September 3, the 99th Prime Minister of Japan also announced that he would no longer run for the post of President of Liberal Democratic Party .
Just the next day, September 4, Shinzo Abe posted on social media that after his illness suddenly deteriorated last year, Yoshihide Suga took over as the prime minister. Thank you very much for his contribution. Sorry for the inconvenience caused to the public.
Many Japanese netizens left messages below. Some people said that Shinzo Abe did a great job when he was prime minister, and some hope that Shinzo Abe can be prime minister again.
Recently, Shinzo Abe has appeared in public with a high frequency, which is very different from his previous sickly image. This has also given many people an idea. Is Shinzo Abe building momentum and preparing to become prime minister for the third time?
When Shinzo Abe chose to resign as prime minister, it can be said that the rapid resignation was brave. On the one hand, the pressure comes from the country. The Tokyo Olympics and the control of the epidemic are both hot potatoes. On the other hand, pressure from the United States also forced him to retire.
At that time, the Tokyo Olympics had been postponed several times and the budget was constantly rising. Many people in Japan even called for the immediate cancellation of the Olympic Games and stop losses in time. The final appearance of this year’s Olympics also proved that people’s worries at the time were not superfluous.
With the opening of the Olympic Games, the flow of people inside and outside Japan will also increase, and the pressure on epidemic prevention will increase unprecedentedly. Due to the control of the epidemic, Japan's economic situation is not optimistic. As far as Japan is concerned, it is almost impossible to choose between economy and epidemic prevention.
It can be said that none of these tasks is easy to do. Given the political environment in Japan, it is inevitable to step down if it is not done well. Of course, Shinzo Abe did not want to end his political career in this way.Not knowing whether it was his own idea or a suggestion made by his men, Shinzo Abe resigned as prime minister on the grounds of health problems.
The cause given by Shinzo Abe is also very clever. At the press conference, Shinzo Abe stated that he had colitis. This disease can be said to be big or small, and it can be said to be "advancing but attacking, retreating but defending."
Moreover, the reason given by Abe is also very vague. He said that considering that other treatment measures may be used in the future, and these measures may cause him to be unable to make correct political judgments, he is not confident to bear the heavy trust of Japanese nationals.
In this way, Yoshihide Suga started his prime ministerial career. So, how is Yoshihide Suga's prime this year?
After Yoshihide Suga announced on September 3 that he would no longer run for president of the Liberal Democratic Party, the Japanese stock market rose sharply after the opening. The Tokyo stock price index once reached 2040 points. Those who are not familiar with the Japanese stock market may have no idea about 2040 points. .
In fact, 2040 points are already the highest record of the index in 31 years since 1990. At that time, it was the most prosperous bubble period for the Japanese economy. From this we can see how disappointed the Japanese people were at Yoshihide Suga.
But if Shinzo Abe really chooses to serve as Prime Minister of Japan again, will he succeed?
First, from the perspective of Japanese public opinion, Shinzo Abe has a foundation, and he was able to serve as prime minister for the second time. Now that the epidemic in Japan is serious and the economy is down, Shinzo Abe's comeback is also a bit of fighting fire.
Second, Shinzo Abe’s political capital is far stronger than other candidates. Both his maternal grandfather and maternal uncle served as prime minister of Japan, and his maternal grandfather was also a member of the Japanese parliament. The Abe family can be regarded as a political powerhouse in Japan.
The third point, Shinzo Abe returns, the United States will not stop it. No matter how the Japanese political scene changes, the position of prime minister will not be nodded by the United States, even if he takes office, no one can sit still.Otherwise, there would be no jokes about changing nine prime ministers in ten years.
The first term of Abe ended shortly because of his "tough" attitude towards the United States. After taking office again, Abe has obviously learned a lesson, and his attitude towards the United States can be said to be almost flattering. Judging from the United States' response, the United States is still very satisfied with Abe.
The next prime minister of Japan will be the 100th prime minister in Japanese history. If Abe succeeds in serving as the prime minister, he will also make history and become the first prime minister in Japanese history to serve three terms.
