The issue of reimbursement of membership fees for the “Cherry Blossom Viewing Party” has changed. Former Prime Minister Shinzo Abe’s first public secretary has been briefly accused of violating the Law on the Regulation of Political Funds, taking responsibility for the undeclared balance from the eve of the festival, including compensation. In response, Mr. Abe attended a press conference on December 24 and a meeting of the House Steering Committee of both Houses of Representatives on December 25. I was aiming for “end of the year”, but what was the “profit and loss” of this strategy?

Following the prime minister’s era media to “hit other big news”
“It’s an explicit schedule setting.”
Newspaper and television reporters who learned that Abe would hold a press conference in the House of Representatives beginning at 6 p.m. on December 24 couldn’t help but laugh.
On the 23 of the previous day, when the governor of Tokyo, Yuriko Koike, announced the number of people infected with the new corona virus on the same day, she “notified” that the announcement of the following 24 is likely to be even higher. Therefore, it was confirmed that the news of the same day would be widely spread as “the expansion of the crown does not stop.” Abe organized a press conference together with him.
Under the Abe administration, which lasted seven years and eight months, it was customary to announce other big news to spread coverage and reduce damage when inconvenient truths occurred. Did you use the same method even after you retired?
Speaking of “the same”, the meeting time was set at 6 pm, the same as when he was prime minister.
I thought: “Let’s finish the curtain before the end of the year” …
When he was prime minister, he made a long statement at the beginning of what he wanted to say, answered some questions from journalists, and then interrupted the meeting because he had public business, which was often seen as a problem. At the meeting held on the 24th the question was closed because permission to use the room was until 7 in the afternoon.
Incidentally, the meeting was moderated by Eiichi Hasegawa, a former cabinet spokesman who was in charge of the meeting when Abe was prime minister. It gives the impression that things have progressed steadily in the routine of the prime minister era.
He met the day the secretary’s brief accusation and his non-accusation were resolved, and decided to ask the ruling and opposition parties in the Diet the next day, 25, why he wanted to close the curtain before the end of the year. It is reported that the Tokyo District Public Ministry decided to execute the criminal sanction on the 24th, because Mr. Abe’s intention was “quick” and it was possible to fix the political situation by the end of the year.
