Moments of true tension were experienced this Saturday on the other side of the world. An explosion scared everyone present at a public event led by none other than Fumio Kishida, Prime Minister of Japan.
Oh yeah, while the important Japanese official was giving a speech an explosion occurred which was immediately taken as a attack on him. Here we are going to tell you well what happened there and the consequences of this.
This was the explosion in the middle of a speech by Fumio Kishida, Prime Minister of Japan
It happens that this April 15, the Prime Minister of Japan appeared in the city of Wakayama to give a speech in Zaikazaki port. He was there to support his party’s candidate in a local election (look, I thought that this kind of political endorsement only occurred in Mexico, but no).
The joke is that in the middle of his speech, a subject threw a silver object that exploded. Naturally panic broke out and Fumio Kishida was evacuated in a strong security operation.
Uncertainty gripped the local media, but it didn’t take long for agencies like NHK to report that everything was left in shock. The Prime Minister of Japan was unharmed as was everyone present. The person responsible was arrested almost immediately, according to CNN.
Of course, they also immediately circulated videos of the moment the explosion occurred near Fumio Kishida.
The memory of the murder of Shinzo Abe
Given what happened with Fumio Kishidait was impossible not to remember one of his predecessors: Shinzo Abe. He was killed while giving a speech. in support of his party’s candidates in the city of Nara. The former Prime Minister of Japan was shot twice in broad daylight on July 8, 2022. (Here we tell you about his murder back then).
Fortunately, it is only a comparison based on how things happened and not because of their consequences. Fumio Kishida apologized for worrying people and just said that “We are fighting very important elections for our country.”
