"People are angry," said Hama, adding that Abe "does not understand" that ordinary people are "hurting."

"They are living in anxiety and are suffering deep economic hardship."

"They are also realizing that businesses are being protected instead of ordinary people, but particularly businesses that form the support base of the ruling Liberal Democratic Party," she said.

"While those sectors are receiving support, mom-and-pop corner stores, small companies and ordinary people are not getting nearly enough assistance.


"There is no leadership being demonstrated in Japan today," said Mieko Nakabayashi, a former politician with the Democratic Party of Japan and now a professor at Tokyo's Waseda University. "Certainly, Abe is not exercising any leadership, and I would say that this crisis has shown up his lack of a spine."

浜さんと中林さん・・・・まあ、英語圏で採用される日本人識者の評論なんてこんなものだろうとは思うのだが、しかし、今回の関しては、あたっているんじゃないかなあ、と思うほど、安倍首相は無能で腰抜けだ。
