Hello everyone,

This news is about that Shoichi Nakagawa,the finance minister in Japan, resigned his job just after his embarrassing performance in G7 conference in Rome. According to the news, he seemed totally drunk during the press conference just after the G7 meeting. After his performance in the press conference was broadcasted to all over the world, he admitted that he was drunk but he also justified his behavior by blaming the cold medicine he took in the plane to Rome.
If you are interested in this news and you want to watch his performance, you can check the following website:

Sometimes the medicine help you to reduce the pain or the illness. May be he felt boring in the flight from his country to Rome so he was drunk. He dont has to drink again before the meeting because everybody allover the world will know that.
ReplyDeleteThank you for the amusement. I didn´t know about the story. He is surely embarrassed about it. Was it the medicine or too much alcohol? I think it doesn´t matter. The pictures went all around the world.
ReplyDeleteI m so sorry about it but nobody is perfect.
Thanks for sharing the video clip - he sure didn't look very good!
ReplyDeleteIt's too bad that he was drunk (on alcohol or cold medicine) before such a big meeting and was forced to resign FROM his post. Do you think the replacement will be better?
that's really unfortunate for him. I don't really want to say that it is irresponsible, but in an occasion like that you should watch your steps.anyway, sometimes things happens and noone knows why. I feel sorry for him. hope he find another good job.
