High City wept while giving a speech at the "Abe's hometown", saying she had gritted her teeth and opposed the people surrounding the venue to force her to resign.
On the 27th local time, Japan's House of Representatives election campaign officially began. Japanese Prime Minister Takahashi Sana arranged her first campaign stop in Tokyo Akihabara, which was the place where Abe Shinzo gave his last national election speech. Takahashi Sana regarded Abe as her life mentor.
In this approximately 27-minute speech, Takahashi Sana once became emotionally overwhelmed and cried. She wiped her eyes with her hand while speaking in a slightly trembling and choked voice, saying: I have struggled for more than 30 years to reach the position of prime minister. In the past three months since taking office, every moment has been spent gritting my teeth and doing my best.
Although Takahashi's "acting" seemed fake, some of her die-hard fans inside the venue were deeply moved, shouting "Prime Minister, go for it." However, the scene outside the venue and on the Internet in Japan was completely different.
Outside the venue, a large number of Japanese citizens gathered, surrounding Takahashi Sana's speech venue. They held up banners with slogans such as "Takahashi Resign," "Comply with the Three Principles of Nuclear Non-Proliferation," "Meaningless Dissolution," and "Harm to National Interests," giving Takahashi's first fundraising speech a cold shower.
In the comment section of Takahashi's speech video, some Japanese netizens expressed: How can a country's leader cry so casually? Others made pointed remarks: There is no bulletproof glass in front of Takahashi Sana.
The final voting time for the Japanese House of Representatives election is set for February 8. Within the short 12-day campaign period, Takahashi Sana will surely do everything possible to raise votes for the ruling coalition. This is a battle that she has staked her political life on. Previously, she has stated more than once that if she does not secure more than 233 votes, she will immediately resign.
But currently, Takahashi Sana is facing the harsh reality of a significant drop in support ratings. She also needs to ensure that Japan's fragile financial market does not experience a systemic collapse, and she must deal with huge diplomatic pressures. Previously, experts predicted that Takahashi might win two-thirds of the votes, but now it seems almost impossible. As for whether she can secure 233 seats, it is currently difficult to say that Takahashi is "sure to win."
