Four of the eight major opposition parties in Japan have prophesied that Hashimoto Asano will lead Japan to the right and even to a path of war!
The leader of the Shinto Party, Jinguji Masaoki, said: "After the death of former Prime Minister Shinzo Abe, we can feel a considerable degree of left-wing shift in national politics and the Liberal Democratic Party's politics. I think Hashimoto, as a moderate right-winger within the LDP, is expected to return the country's politics to the center."
The president of the New Force, Yamamoto Taro, said: "Regarding the Hashimoto administration, the strengthening of subordination to the United States will intensify, which may cause great tension in East Asia."
The chairman of the Japanese Communist Party, Tamura Sanae, said: "I believe this will be the birth of a very dangerous new government. It may cut medical expenses and implement an old surname system that restricts couples' choice of surnames, potentially undermining the people's demands and leading the politics in a very dangerous direction. We must confront it directly."
The president of the Social Democratic Party, Fukushima Hosono, said: "I'm sorry, but I think this is the worst cabinet in history. In a cabinet that is heading towards war, discrimination, xenophobia, and the deterioration of the constitution, it is very worrying."
