Sohei Kamiya's 'Japanese First' Movement Reshapes Japan's Political Landscape
Sohei Kamiya, the charismatic leader of Japan's nationalist Sanseito party, emerged as a major force in the recent upper house election. His "Japanese First" platform, echoing Donald Trump's populist rhetoric, has gained significant traction by addressing voter grievances. Sanseito's message, which includes concerns about a "silent invasion" of foreigners and a focus on traditional values, tax cuts, and increased defense spending, signals a notable shift in Japanese politics.
