Attorney Yamagishi highlights the complexity of Governor Saito’s PR company issue, urging caution before judging legality under election law.

[Attorney Yamagishi Hisaro] “Right now, people are saying things like ‘Maybe his election was invalid’ and ‘He’s lost his job,’ but I think it’s a bit too heated when the facts haven’t come out that far yet.”
■The Public Offices Election Act should be “simpler to look at”
[Attorney Yamagishi Hisaro] “It’s better to look at the law more simply, and the Public Offices Election Act is simple: ‘When you ask someone to campaign for you, you can’t pay them.’ If you ask someone to campaign for you and pay them money, it is considered bribery and a crime. That’s all. As an exception, making posters or flyers is permitted. They are also allowed to hire a secretary or a female announcer and pay for them. If there are exceptions like this, it would be permissible to pay the money. In this case, 700,000 yen was paid. Governor Saito’s lawyers have already put forward five items, mainly relating to posters and flyers, which are within the scope of the Public Offices Election Act. Moreover, in terms of cost, 700,000 yen is not that expensive for a poster or flyer. On the other hand, if you were to also have them develop a social media strategy, 700,000 yen would probably not be enough. So, looking at this case only from the facts that have been released so far, as to whether the prosecutors will bring charges or not, I don’t think they will go as far as to bring charges, looking at recent precedents and so on. Honestly, it’s not such a serious sin. When it comes to whether the prosecution will indict, even if it means taking the risk of being found not guilty, I take a negative view of this. Now, the president of the PR company…

It’s just PR, so “I’m not campaigning”
Moreover, I’m acting as an individual volunteer
Yes, a complete refutation
The anti-Saito faction’s inferior genetic slave race Koreans can only gnash their teeth and stomp their feet in frustration.

That’s just too pathetic for the old media🤣🤣🤣
He’s more likely to be arrested for defamation than Saito🤣🤣🤣.

Lawyers all have differing opinions to begin with.
They did this on Shinsuke Shimada’s show a while back.

It seems that it’s the old media that’s causing the heat.

In other words, both the candidate and the president are safe.

It’s really embarrassing that the old media is outdone by Saito and social media.
20Anonymous Donburako.Nov. 27, 2024 (Wed) 20:07:21.18ID:sjxhW/c90
Ever since the power harassment allegations, Saito has been constantly being bashed to death with hints of what’s going on. So of course he gets sympathy votes.
21Anonymous Donburako.Nov. 27, 2024 (Wed) 20:07:33.37ID:EjqmUuOK0
I’m sorry, but all Orita had to do was say he was a volunteer. It was the only way to save both parties, so why did they label him a liar? Things are only going to get worse from here.

It’s too much to ask your company to volunteer for over a month lol
What kind of reward are they promised?
Well, the Unification Church is a free service
Of course they receive something in return.

Either way, I was reminded once again that Saito is a scumbag.

Even though it’s said to be simple, there are a lot of exceptions lol.

To his enemies he is more cruel and strict than outer space, but to his friends he is extremely kind and loving with a deeper love than the ocean.

The only thing that can be judged is the judicial system after an investigation and lawsuit is filed. After that, it’s just selfish outside noise, so take it easy.

When that discussion comes up it’s out of the question.

It’s funny how this is typical of old media. I guess in the past they would pressure people to resign, but that doesn’t work in modern times.
32Anonymous Donburako.Nov. 27, 2024 (Wed) 20:10:16.25ID:ONrfSJjW0
You’re right that it’s better to just look at it simply. On TV, the Saito faction thinks that whoever shouts the loudest is the winner, bringing it down to interpretation lol.

There may be multiple arrests of mass media reporters.

The reason why the media, from right to left, are attacking Saito will soon become clear. There may also be arrests.

Is it a crime for an LDP lawmaker to vigorously support an LDP-endorsed candidate in an election while receiving money from the LDP?

If I had paid money to be campaigned for, I’d be out.
This time, I only paid for the posters, so I’m okay.

Well, if it’s a problem, the prosecutors will take action. I’m not a Hyogo resident so I don’t understand why people are making such a fuss about this.
