“Go To Campaign” Signing site signing more than 100,000 people against opposition July 16 16:20
Regarding the “Go To Campaign”, which is a measure to stimulate consumption, more than 100,000 signatures from those who oppose the implementation have been sent to signature sites on the Internet.
The person who called for the signature told NHK interviewed, "We are not against the purpose of the business itself as an economic measure, and we should not do it now that the infection is spreading."
The signature activity is carried out on the Internet signature site "Change.org", and in light of the fact that more than 200 people are infected each day in Tokyo, we will implement the "Go To Campaign" at this timing. We are demanding that we stop and use the budget to support medical sites and areas affected by heavy rain.
According to the person who called out, when I personally posted on the site on 11th of this month, about 10,000 people gathered each day, but it has increased sharply from 15th, and as of 2:00 pm on 16th, it was 110,000. There are too many people.
The person who called for the signature said to NHK interviewed, "I am not opposed to the purpose of the business itself as an economic measure, and there is a problem with the timing and consistency. If I go on a trip, I will If the infection spreads, it will be a big blow to tourism and I think it is a crash.At least when the infection is spreading, it should not be done, and methods such as direct payment to tourism-related businesses should not be considered. I wonder if that is possible."
