In front of a luxury hotel in Tokyo, which was the dinner venue the day before the “Cherry Blossom Viewing Party.” Koichi Nakamura, a 60-year-old office worker in Minami-ku, Sagamihara city, said: “It is common knowledge that the membership fee should not be 5,000 yen per person here.

Criticism was also heard around Shinjuku Gyoen, the site of the “Sakura Viewing Party”. Takeshi Noguchi, a 56-year-old office worker, suspects that “Mr. Abe cannot ignore the circumstances (of the cost of dinner).” “Even if I explain it in the Diet, it is a waste of time if I give a quick answer,” he added, without hiding his mistrust. Yue Fujitsuka (82), an unemployed person living nearby, also sneered, saying: “In the end, the politicians blame the secretary.” On the other hand, a self-employed worker (85) who works nearby explained to the sentence of the Tokyo District Public Ministry that “the persecution does not proceed taking into account the amount (supplemented)”.
Ginza, Tokyo, where shoppers came and went on Christmas Eve even in the crown. Izumi Samejima (57), who helps with internal affairs in Setagaya district, said: “Since the Showa era, politicians have ended the case with ‘I have not done anything.’ Japan is one of those countries.” Takuji Oda, a 47-year-old office worker in Minami-ku, Sagamihara, also said: “As usual, the lizard’s tail is cut off. As this continues, interest in politics will diminish.”

While expressing disappointment and anger at the prosecution, ” Did you really do the investigation? “He said he was considering a request to the prosecution’s investigative committee, unhappy with the arrangement.
“Mr. Abe should be held criminally responsible. I am not convinced of this provision. It is very tepid.” One of the volunteers, Yoshizo Onodera, was angry.
The Special Investigation Department voluntarily interviewed Mr. Abe on the 21st and fired him only three days later.
Attorney Onodera questioned: “It is not easy to know if there is a conspiracy, and normally we would carry out a forced investigation, such as a search or a seizure of a house.” “We listened formally to support Mr. Abe’s non-prosecution. I can only think I did.”
Akira Izumisawa said that the Special Investigation Department had sentenced Hiroyuki Aragawa, the first public secretary, to a brief indictment, and that the Tokyo Simplified Court had sentenced him to a fine in a short order that would not hold a formal trial. It is very bad not to mention it in the report. It’s a big deal to finish it in a short way. “(Hazuki Yamashita)
