The LDP presidential election was held on the 27th at the LDP headquarters in Tokyo, and Shigeru Ishiba was elected as the new president. In the first round of voting, Kono Taro finished in eighth place out of nine candidates with 22 votes from lawmakers and 8 votes from party members, for a total of 30 votes. In the last presidential election in 2021, in which he competed against Fumio Kishida and others, he came in second in the first round of voting with a total of 255 votes from lawmakers and party members, just one vote behind Kishida. He was by far the most popular candidate with 169 votes from party members, but this time he only received 8 votes (8th place). The drop was so drastic that there were many surprised voices on the internet. While some point out that his candidacy was due to his reliance on the Aso faction and the policy aspects he advocated were the reasons for the backlash, there have been a series of posts online pointing out that his actions and words as Minister of Digital Affairs have caused backlash, with comments such as “Is it really because of the My Number Card?”, “He’s so unpopular with things like forcing through the abolition of health insurance cards using the My Number Card”, and “He’s pushing the My Number Card too hard.” [Daily] 2024/9/28(Sat) 17:19.
>>4 The excessive costs are just too much. The way they do things is so pushy that even trillions of yen wouldn’t be enough. And because they’re so focused on speed, the work is sloppy and full of trouble, and yet they say they don’t take responsibility. It’s awful.
>>4 Three years ago, the evaluation of vaccines was that they were doing a really good job. The two-dose vaccination program for all citizens, which some had said was impossible, has also almost been achieved. However, the subsequent large number of deaths from side effects and the outbreak of Omicron infections, which are highly resistant to the vaccine, caused a 180-degree change in the opinion of the government.
But if we don’t promote this, fraudulent receipt of benefits and fraudulent medical treatment by foreigners will become rampant, so I think Japanese people should cooperate.
By stepping forward, he was revealed as someone who shouldn’t be allowed to be in a position of authority. Of course, Shinjiro was also revealed in a different way.
It’s because they were too factional. They misjudged the political situation. Please continue with the Minority Party. It’s essential if we want to increase the number of foreigners.
Kono is bad, but more fundamentally, it’s the Japanese these days who are easily influenced. The Ishimaru phenomenon, for example. Japanese people have somehow thrown away their calmness and intelligence.
This is what happens when all the TV stations run a systematic smear campaign all year round against the My Number Card, which only causes problems for Communist Party members and certain foreigners who lie about their residential status by receiving welfare payments separately for single-person households even though they are living together in a common-law marriage.
The person with the lowest number of votes, 16 from party members, who even split the recommendation votes, became the Minister of Finance, so why doesn’t Block Taro get any position?
The push for the problematic My Number card didn’t seem stubborn to me, but rather a self-righteous push If there are problems but it’s something that should go ahead, the standard practice is to leave the existing health insurance card as a backup.
>>37 Obviously, he has no choice but to go ahead with it as he is the minister in charge. Stopping it unilaterally would require the unanimous consent of the Cabinet. It will only be stopped if the Prime Minister announces a policy to stop it.
The main cause is the push for vaccines. How many people have been killed and how many have suffered from side effects? The crime of using influencers to spread vaccine hoaxes to the public and get them to take the mRNA vaccine is serious.
The decision to force through the My Number system is fine, but the problem is the way it was implemented and the speed at which it was implemented. Couldn’t they have been a bit more flexible?
