VOICED : Primer ministro japonés Abe anuncia que va a dimitir por problemas de salud

Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe announced his resignation due to a recurrence of ulcerative colitis, a chronic inflammatory bowel disease that previously forced him to step down in 2007. Abe apologized to the Japanese people for leaving his position with a year left in his term, especially amid the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic and unfinished policies. As Japan's longest-serving prime minister, Abe will remain in office until a successor is chosen, likely through the Liberal Democratic Party's presidential election. Potential candidates for his replacement include government spokesperson Yoshihide Suga and Finance Minister Taro Aso.
