3 | Prime Minister Shinzo Abe has dissolved the Lower House of Japan's parliament and called a snap election for mid-December. | Nofoanan'ny Praiminisitra Shinzo Abe ny Antenimiera-pirenen'i Japana ary niantso ho amin'ny fifidianana mialoha ny fotoana amin'ny tapaky ny volana Desambra izy. |
4 | The snap election comes after Japan's economy officially slid into recession on Monday, November 17. | Tonga izao fifidianana mialoha ny fotoana izao rehefa nambara tamin'ny fomba ofisialy tamin'ny alatsinainy 17 Novambra fa nihemotra ny toekaren'i Japana. |
5 | This may be the last chance to save Japan from national decline, says Michael Auslin [Opinion, English article here] “If Abe defeated in upcoming parliamentary elections, all hope for reform lost.” | Izao angamba no fotoana farany hanavotana an'i Japana amin'ny fijotsoan'ny firenena, hoy i Michael Auslin [Fanehoan-kevitra, lahatsoratra amin'ny teny Anglisy ato] Raha resy amin'ny fifidianana solombavambahoaka hoavy i Abe, dia very avokoa ny fanantenana rehetra hisian'ny fanitsiana.” |

7 | It has been two years since the last Japanese election returned Abe and Japan's Liberal Democratic Party to the government. | Roa taona izay no napetraky ny fifidianana Japoney farany teo amin'ny fitondrana i Abe sy ny antoko Demaokraty Liberaly. |
8 | Under his current mandate, Abe still had more than another two years, until 2017, to call the next election. | Amin'ny izao fe-potoana fiasany ankehitriny izao, mbola manana mihoatra ny roa taona hafa i Abe, mandrapahatongan'ny taona 2017, mba hiantsoana fifidianana manaraka. |
9 | Abe says his decision to call a snap election is about seeking a mandate to delay a planned sales tax increase, which now would further slow the economy. | Nilaza i Abe fa ny anton'ny fanapaha-keviny hanatontosa fifidianana mialoha dia ny hitadiavany fahazoandalana hanemorana ny fiakaran'ny hetra efa napetraka, izay mety hampandeha mora kokoa ny toekarena. |
10 | A preliminary sales tax increase this past spring is already considered the chief culprit for Japan's current economic contraction. | Efa nosokajiana ho tompon'antoka voalohany mampivonkona ny toekarena amin'izao fotoana ao Japàna ny fampakarana tamin'ny voalohany ny hetram-barotra tamin'ny lohataona farany teo. |
11 | Another possible motivation for calling a snap election is the current disarray of Japan's opposition parties, making them weak opponents in the immediate future. | Anisan'ny mety ho antony nandrisika amin'ny fanatontosana ny fifidianana mialoha ny fotoana ny fahadisoam-panantenana amin'reo antoko mpanohitra ao Japana, mahatonga azy ireo ho mpanohitra marefo manoloana ny hoavy akaiky indrindra. |
12 | While some commentators are calling Abe's move “self-serving”, others think Abe is facing political oblivion anyway and that the snap election may be the spark that reignites Japan's moribund opposition. | Raha miantso ny fihetsik' Abe ho “tia-tena” ny mpaneho hevitra sasany, mihevitra kosa ny sasany fa miatrika fankahalana politika i Abe ary ny fanatontosana fifidianana mialoha ny fotoana dia mety ho pitik'afo hampirehitra ny mpanohitra tsy mba mihetsika ao Japana. |
13 | In Japan, there are some complaints that election coverage so far ignores the big picture: | Ao Japana, misy ireo fitarainana sasany izay tsy mba hita ao amin'ny sary lehiben'ny fitantarana fifidianana: |
14 | Wha? | Ahoana? |
15 | Why is there no mention of Japan's recession in the media? | Nahoana no tsy misy filazana momba ny fihemoran'i Japana ao amin'ny fampahalalam-baovao? |
16 | Many prominent Twitter commentators are wondering if the election has swept under the rug the main story: Japan's faltering economy. | Manontany ireo mpaneho hevitra Twitter malaza marobe raha adino ao anatin'ny fitantarana lehibe ny fifidianana ny fivasohan'ny toekarena ao Japana : |
17 | In the Japanese media, the economy is “just ticking along”, but elsewhere in the world the story is “Japan is now in recession.” | Ao amin'ny fampahalalam-baovao Japoney dia “tratran'ny fahatarana maharitra fotsiny” ny toekarena, saingy any ivelany ny tantara henony dia “mihemotra ankehitriny ny toekarena Japoney. |
18 | This gap in perception is slaughtering individual investors. | ” mandripaka ny olon-tsotra mpampiasa vola izany elanelam-pomba fijery izany. |

20 | I'm more astonished that the media itself seems surprised that this recession somehow came out of the blue. | Vao maika zendana aho fa na ny fampahalalam-baovao koa aza toa gaga fa nipongatra ity fihemorana ity. |
21 | Seeking a mandate to delay raising the consumption tax is just a pretext. | Fika fotsiny izany hoe mitady fe-potoam-piasana hanemorana ny fiakaran'ny fandoavan-ketra izany. |
22 | With the Cabinet approval rating is still high, and Opposition parties still in disarray, Abe is holding an election he is certain to win. | Satria mbola ambony ny fankatoavana ny kabinetra (minisitera), ary mbola ao anatin'ny fikorontanan-tsaina ireo antoko mpanohitra, hanatontosa fifidianana i Abe, matoky izy fa handresy. |
23 | He'll then use the mandate to say that it's the public that wants to hold off on raising the consumption tax, rather than admitting that Abenomics is a failure. | Hampiasa ny fahazoan-dalan'ny vahoaka indray izy hilazana fa ny vahoaka no tsy mila fiakaran-ketra, fa tsy hiaiky fa tsy nahomby ny “lalànan'i Abe”. |
24 | Other voices recognize what appears to be Abe's pure pragmatism: | Mankatò izay lazaina fa fahaizan'i Abe miasa kosa ireo feo sasany: |
25 | With just over two years left in his current mandate, Abe probably realizes he doesn't have enough time to do all the things he wants to do. So, dissolve the Diet and extend the life of his government. | Amin'ny roa taona sisa amin'ny fe-potoam-piasany ankehitriny, mety ho fantatr'i Abe fa tsy manana fotoana ampy hanaovana ireo zavatra tiany atao izy. Izany no nanafoanany ny Diet [Antenimiera] ka manalava ny fiainan'ny governemantany. |
26 | Ah, I get it! | Eny, mazava amiko! |
27 | Abe is bound to win the upcoming election, which gives his government another four more years of political stability. | Toa handresy amin'ny fifidianana hoavy i Abe, izay hanome fahatomombanana ara-politika efa-taona hafa indray hoan'ny governemantany. |
28 | Japan's recession and snap election are competing in the news with another major story: Japan is experiencing a butter shortage. | Mifaninana amin'ny vaovao lehibe hafa:(tsy misy dibera.ao Japàna) ny vaovaon'ny fihemoran'ny toekarena sy ny fifidianana mialoha hotontosaina ao Japana. |
