英语文摘：Japanese PM announces resignation over Futenma, fund issues

Hatoyama's support rate plunged below 20 percent after being blamed for dividing the ruling coalition due to his mishandling of a plan to relocate a U.S. military facility in Okinawa, causing the Social Democratic Party to bolt from the coalition and reposition themselves to oppose the DPJ in the forthcoming election.

Hatoyama said his management body's alleged false reporting of his political fund has also tainted the image of DPJ, another factor to his decision of resignation.

"We should try to rebuild a clean DPJ so that our people will listen to us," Hatoyama said.

"The government's work has not reflected the public's wishes," the premier said.

"Because of the Futenma issue, I lost trust of my people," Hatoyama said in tears, while adding "I have been and will continue to make efforts (to move the U.S. military facility out of Okinawa)."

"I don't believe in the next 50 or 100 years Japan will still rely on the United States for defense...although the Japan-U.S. alliance is important for the time being," he said.
