She failed to engage effectively with foreign investors, providing irrelevant answers about soft power and personal family inquiries instead of strategic insights during a key conference.
The PM offered inadequate responses to pressing public issues, including the stock market plunge and scam call centers, even admitting to falling victim to a scam herself and only acting under external pressure.
The opposition criticizes her as a 'nepo baby,' asserting that her superficial responses consistently reveal a lack of in-depth knowledge, qualifications, and genuine intent to serve the public.
