January 20. According to a report from Kyodo News on the 20th, after the winter, Japan’s new crown epidemic spread rapidly, but the Yoshihide Suga government did not restart the state of emergency in time.
This caused dissatisfaction among the Japanese people and the government’s support rate dropped all the way. .
According to the analysis of the report, Yoshihide Suga is likely to be forced to resign after the by-election of the House of Representatives and the Senate in April.
