Question from a reader:
I’m curious about how Minister Koizumi Shinjiro plans to advance the “Koizumi Theater – New Generation” in response to the agricultural faction. Could you share insights on the future developments?
Considering Minister Koizumi Shinjiro’s Challenges
Recently, many are wondering how Minister Koizumi Shinjiro will respond to the agricultural faction. I’m one of them, particularly intrigued by the
topics of “stockpiled rice” and “old rice.” There seems to be some intention behind his statements and actions.
The Dilemma of Old Rice and New Rice
As mentioned in user comments, it will likely be difficult to offer new rice at low prices while the circulation of old rice increases. The last line that the agricultural faction must protect might just be there. I believe Koizumi understands this well, which is why he declared himself the “Minister of Rice.” It feels like he is accepting a certain kind of “challenge.” In fact, while working part-time at a judicial scrivener’s office, I had the opportunity to consider this issue from a legal perspective. The laws and regulations concerning agriculture are complex and not straightforward. In particular, laws regarding the distribution and pricing of agricultural products are heavily influenced by political backgrounds. Considering these aspects, Shinjiro’s position is indeed quite challenging.
Expected Developments and Personal Thoughts
I think that when he faces the issue of old rice, he may feel he has completed his role and resign. While it is essential for politicians to act based on their beliefs and values, it is equally necessary to reconcile with reality. With that in mind, his future moves are genuinely intriguing. When I shared this discussion with a friend, he remarked, “Politicians are human too, and they often face difficult choices.” Indeed, I believe they navigate their daily responsibilities while grappling with emotions and conflicts. Perhaps it is our duty as citizens to observe and support them.
