>>14 Yes. Saito’s legal counsel said, “It’s legal because we only requested posters and other things within the scope of what’s permitted.” But that seems like a lie, so it’s pretty tough.
What about this? Governor Saito’s lawyer said, “It is not true that we asked him to help with planning the SNS strategy. This is purely permitted by the Poster Production Act, and we have paid a fair compensation. There is no fact that violates the Public Offices Election Act.”
The council members who fabricated the mysterious document, forced the governor to resign over a bill that had not been debated, even though no answers had been given in the 100-article committee, are the ones in trouble.
It’s been proven by other people that targeting idiots will get you votes. Once you can brainwash them, they last so long that they still have followers today.
Will Governor Saito’s election be cancelled? The beautiful CEO and instigator of the fever, Orita Kaede, is suspected of violating the Public Offices Election Act.
The fuel for the poster trucks (which has a limit) comes from public funds, so it doesn’t count as bribery. Election campaigns calling for votes and online operations don’t come from public funds, so if there was any compensation, it would be bribery, right? But this company receives work from the prefecture and posters, etc., so at this point it becomes a relationship of profit sharing, right? Even if they say it was a volunteer excuse, isn’t that enough?
Why did they make this public? If you think about it normally, you would know that they would definitely complain, but I don’t get it. I wonder if they had some kind of internal dispute and wanted to expose it?
