Original title: Foreign media: Japan’s upper house election held this weekend, the opposition party blocked Kishida with high inflation

Reference News Network reported on July 6According to Singapore’s “Lianhe Zaobao” website, the Japanese Senate election will be held on July 10, and the mid-term election campaign published by the mainstream media “Yomiuri Shimbun” predicts that the ruling Liberal Democratic Party will have a solid ballot box. But as polling day looms, rising prices have become the focus of voters’ attention.

The report pointed out that if the Liberal Democratic Party wins, it will not only consolidate the position of Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida in the party, but also allow the Kishida government to easily pass the bill in Congress. However, this election campaign encountered an unprecedented heat in Japan, which pushed the energy problem to a peak.

Japan’s general affairs department pointed out that 90% of Japan’s energy is imported, and Japan’s electricity bill has also risen due to the soaring price of imported energy. The consumer index released in May showed that energy was driving up prices, with inflation up 2.1% from a year earlier.

According to the report, Kenta Izumi, the leader of the biggest opposition party, the Cadets, used “Kishida inflation” as an excuse in the election, blaming the recent rise in prices for the pressure on people’s lives, and blaming the Kishida government’s continued support for an ultra-loose monetary policy.

Public opinion believes that Japan’s inflation is more serious than other countries, because the depreciation of the yen pushes up the prices of imported fuels and products, and the inflation pressure faced by ordinary households is also increasing. This wave of “rising wind” is likely to become the “headwind” that the Kishida government hopes to set a record of victory.Return to Sohu, see more
